Waterloo Street, Hove, East Sussex, BN3

Perfectly located between Brighton and Hove Stations, and just seconds from the beach and the city centre, sits this well-presented, two-bedroom flat.

It is formed from the entire lower ground floor of a Regency townhouse in Brunswick Town Conservation Area, so its rooms are well-proportioned, and it benefits from sole access to the courtyard patio which is a fine size for somewhere so central; creating a lovely backdrop to the reception room and extending the entertaining space during summer.

Inside, the décor is stylish with geometric floor tiles, white walls and some block colour, so it is ready to move straight into, making this a fabulous investment as a buy to let flat, a perfect first step on the ladder, or a holiday home for those who love the Brighton & Hove vibe.

Why you’ll like it:

Waterloo Street sweeps down from Western Road to the sea and is lined with Victorian and Regency townhouses adorned with intricate architectural detailing and iron work. This apartment resides on the lower ground floor of one, just minutes from the bustling and fashionable coffee shops and boutiques of Brunswick Town. You approach down some stone steps to your own street entrance which opens to a long corridor from which all rooms reside.

To the front of the property, the master bedroom is a generous double with built-in wardrobes and stylish floor tiles underfoot. These are heated from below to ensure your toes remain toasty during winter and the underfloor heating continues into the bathroom next door. Two tall sash windows bring in plenty of natural light, yet it remains perfectly private from the street being lower ground at the front.

Next door, the bathroom is spacious and well-designed to include a full bath suite with a rainfall shower above it and a vanity unit below the basin for toiletries. A wall mounted heated rail is in place for additional warmth during winter and for drying towels.

Moving through the flat, the living and dining room are central to the apartment with French doors opening to the garden which becomes a wonderful extension of the home as the weather warms and has been made very pretty with potted plants and flowers. Tall walls ensure it feels private, but it still receives the sunshine when it is high in the sky during summer, so it is a great space for growing a kitchen garden. There is a second set of doors linking the garden to the kitchen so the space flows really well.
With modern units at both wall and base levels, the kitchen has been well-designed to provide plenty of storage and work space, plus the gas hob and fan oven have been integrated, leaving space for an undercounter fridge/freezer and a washing machine.

Bedroom two is peacefully positioned at the far end of the property, and while it is currently dressed as a single room it would fit a small double and all the necessary bedroom furniture.

Agent’s thoughts:

With two double bedrooms, underfloor heating, a long lease and no onward chain – this property will not sit on the market for long.

Owner’s thoughts:

“We have loved living here and we were really impressed with how spacious it was when we first viewed it. The neighbours are lovely, and the location is incredible having the beach and the city centre nearby. We are moving out of the city, but we will miss it here hugely.”
