Lansdowne Place, Hove, BN3

Formed from the lower ground floor of an iconic Regency townhouse in Central Hove, this sensitively converted, two-bedroom flat is perfectly positioned to enjoy everything the city has to offer. As a lower ground property, it benefits from its own street entrance and sole use of an east-facing courtyard garden which becomes a tranquil haven to be enjoyed during the warmer seasons. It is naturally light due to ample glazing and the interior décor neutral yet modern, allowing you to move straight in or put your own stamp on the place.

The local schools are ‘outstanding’ and the cultural centres of both Brighton and Hove are equidistant from here. Sitting in such a favoured central location; with the beach, St Ann’s Well Gardens and two mainline stations so close by, it would suit commuters, investors, families or professional sharers looking to live amongst a vibrant community in this cosmopolitan city.

With beautiful curved facades and intricate architectural features, it is easy to see why these substantial Regency townhouses have retained their air of grandeur since being built during the mid-19th Century. While many have since been converted into sizable apartments such as this one, they continue to impress and attract many to live in Central Brighton & Hove.

Stepping down to the entrance, there is plenty of under street storage ideal for refuse/ recycling and bikes. Within the entrance hall there is another deep cupboard to your left and a long corridor stretching through the flat to the left. It feels immediately spacious as you can see through the depth of the flat where creamy calico walls and oak floors serve to brighten each space further.

Spanning the front of the building, following the curve, the principal bedroom is a generous double with sash windows looking out to the front patio. Even with a king size bed, freestanding wardrobes and a work desk, the floor space is not compromised, and natural light is able to filter in while the room remains private from the street due to its lower ground position.

Conveniently next door, the bathroom is classic in white with a shower over the bath – so there is scope in here to add colour with toiletries or even a simple refurbishment with new tiles would add value.

Along the hall, the living room sits centrally to the flat with space for formal dining and relaxation. French doors lead out to the courtyard garden which forms a lovely backdrop to the room and becomes an extension of the home during summer. It is wonderfully private out here with plenty of space for dining alfresco and it is perfectly low maintenance, ready for the modern lifestyle. You can add colour with climbing plants, pots and furnishings on the terraced shelving area, although a flash of green can be seen from the leafy trees in the neighbouring gardens.

Adjoining the living room, the kitchen is well-designed in white to offer plenty of storage and workspace which can be tucked away behind closed doors after cooking. While the oven and induction hob are integrated, space has been left for a tall fridge freezer and the utilities have a room of their own at the far end of the flat.

Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building looking out over the garden, bedroom two is another lovely double room, although it is dressed with a single bed at present.

This generous flat is perfectly situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach at the bottom of the road. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this house also offers easy access to both Brighton and Hove Stations which have direct and fast links to the airports and London.
