Set down and back from the road, this apartment has its own private entrance and inside is bright and cheerful with good storage in the hallway.

Ahead, the elegant living dining room has large twin windows to bathe the room with sunshine and 4.69 x 3.54m (15’4 x 11’7) of versatile space to spread into. Ideal for entertaining there’s plenty of space for sofas and a dining table, and there’s an easy flow to the light and spacious kitchen breakfast room. With a practical layout and working surfaces, this social kitchen breakfast room has space for a bistro table and opens to a covered store and the garden. Good to go, this is an area which you could glam up over time – and the good news is the vendors are willing to discuss the freestanding gas oven and washing machine in situ to help you get started.

Outside, the garden is a big oasis level with the apartment, which is a feature hard to find in a city built on the rolling South Downs - and with so much space, it inspires ideas of extending out, stnc. Surrounded by other gardens it’s easy to forget you are just minutes from central Hove and this west facing, easy care suntrap already has a large, paved terrace for al fresco dining, a big lawn and a shed – and there is also discreet covered storage for bikes.

Returning inside, the contemporary shower room is central to the apartment and has natural light, a sleek vanity unit beneath the hand basin and a warming rail for towels. At the front of the apartment, the first of the bedrooms is a generous single with a fitted wardrobe to fill whilst at the back, the restful principal bedroom has stylish décor, garden views and 3.62 x 3.29m (11’10 x 10’9) to relax in.
