Furze Hill, Hove, East Sussex, BN3

Built in 1936 as an upmarket development, this striking development of Modernist apartments is located on a quiet road close to the sea, the city and St. Ann’s Well Gardens. Uniquely spacious, this studio flat enjoys easy access on the ground floor looking out over the large communal garden. Inside, the studio room is a great size with a separate bathroom and kitchen adding to the feeling of space. Having been modernised, it is ready to move straight into.

There is also a porter to collect your refuse and the grand entrance is luxurious enough to make you feel you are in a hotel rather than at home.

Why you’ll like it:
Completed in 1936 (the same year as the Queen Mary Liner was launched), and like many Modernist buildings of this period, Furze Croft has been compared to an ocean liner with its curvaceous linear styling and expansive flat roof. It is built around a crescent where there are a few spaces to park, encapsulating immaculate lawns and mature trees inherited from the grand home which stood here previously.

Entering the beautiful foyer, marble columns and gleaming Terrazzo flooring greets you. This flat is is clearly numbered down a broad, well-lit corridor door opening to a wide and welcoming entrance hall from which all three rooms reside.

Starting with the main studio, it is fantastically spacious with ample room for sleeping, relaxing and dining while looking out to mature trees in the garden. The view is private with a westerly aspect to bring warm light in during the afternoon. Dark wood floors and crisp white walls offer a blank canvas to new owners and will suit all styles of furnishing. Even with a king size bed, the floor space is not compromised, and two sets of built-in wardrobes maximise this.

Next door, the kitchen has been well-designed for the space allowing for plenty of storage in sage-grey cabinetry alongside integrated appliances, so you can move in with ease. The bathroom next door is simply designed in white and grey slate tiling with a shower over the bath.
Outside there is a glorious lawn garden for the residents to enjoy which includes seating, a playhouse for the little ones, and a herb garden for all – blissful.

This bright, city centre studio flat is perfectly 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 home also offers easy access to Brighton Station and the A23 which have direct and fast links to the airports and London.
