Wilbury Crescent, Hove, East Sussex, BN3

Sitting in a prime location, just minutes from Hove’s commuter Station, Seven Dials and the beach is this well-presented and naturally light, two-bedroom apartment. It resides on the first floor of a smart purpose-built development with scope to simply move straight in, or develop to suit your taste, adding value in a sought-after location.

The rooms are well-proportioned with large picture windows framing the urban yet leafy landscape, so it has huge potential for investors or home seekers looking to buy a slice of Hove’s cool and vibrant lifestyle.

Why you’ll like it:
This low-rise block is attractive and unassuming in pale brick adorned with white cladding, quietly tucked away behind mature trees, tropical planting and manicured grass verges. You approach up a wide path flanked with roses to access the neat communal hallway via secure entry phone system. This apartment is found on the first floor where clear signage leads the way to your door.

Once inside, there is a deep cupboard for your coats, shoes and household items, and you can see this is a well laid out flat with a wide corridor from which all rooms reside. The bathroom is first, with modern fittings to include a bathtub and a separate shower surrounded by clean and fine quality, natural stone wall tiles. Within then kitchen, the appliances are fully integrated alongside ample storage and open shelving for ornaments, books or glassware. While they are perfectly functional rooms, they could be revamped for little cost.

Looking out to mature trees, the main reception is a fantastic size with a wide picture window dominating the westerly wall bringing in a stunning afternoon light. Wood flooring is paired with white walls to suit all styles of furnishing and there are clearly defined areas for relaxation, formal dining and even space to work.
Both bedrooms are double; one facing west and the other to the east, but both with built-in wardrobes and lovely views. Bedroom two enjoys far-reaching views below open skies, and both rooms benefit from smart, neutral decoration – a blank canvas for you to put your own stamp on.
