The streets around Hove Station have retained their popularity and value for many years now as they are not only ideal for commuters, but also for easy access to the centre of Hove and some of the cleanest beaches along the coast.

This smart one-bedroom apartment is formed within the raised ground floor of a substantial townhouse on Blatchington Road giving it easy access to the many shops, cafes and restaurants on its doorstep. Sitting slightly elevated from the street ensures it feels both private and quiet from passing traffic and pedestrians.

Stepping inside, it is clearly a well-maintained home with a smart, neutral décor which will suit all styles of furnishing, but also creates a blank canvas for those wishing to put their own stamp on the place. Immaculate wood laminate flooring flows along the hallway and into the living room to the front of the house which is filled with natural light from the south via a wide bay window. There is ample space for homely furnishings and for dining within the bay, or alcoves create the perfect space for a desk should you need to work from home.

Next door, facing the rear of the building, the bedroom enjoys the same neutral decoration with crisp white walls and has a peaceful outlook over neighbouring gardens and greenery. It is a double room with double glazing, so sleep should come easily in this cosy space.

Nearby, the shower room comes fully tiled in natural stone ceramic, with an electric shower to ensure you have piping hot water whenever you need it. Passing under stairs storage for household items, the kitchen sits at the far end of the flat with French doors leading out to the garden which becomes a natural extension of the home during the summer. Having recently undergone some redecoration, the pattered flooring complements a monochrome scheme within the cabinetry which provides a wealth of storage solutions alongside some integrated appliances. Space has been left for an under-counter fridge while there is space and plumbing for a washing machine or dishwasher too.

Decked and bordered by the original brick and flint walls, the rear garden creates a lovely spot to sit outside during summer for alfresco drinks and dining. It is remarkably private for an inner-city garden and while it is incredibly low maintenance, you can grow plants or a kitchen garden out here in pots.

This sunny garden flat is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this house also offers easy access to Hove Station and the bypass which has direct and fast links to the airports and London.
