Why you’ll like it:

Surrounded by greenery on the edge of Hove’s prettiest park, this apartment feels worlds away from the bustling city centre, yet the Centre of Hove can be accessed in just ten-minutes on foot, and the beach is just a few minutes more, so you get the best of both worlds here.

Orchard House is a modern development of apartments, with this exceptional apartment enjoying easy access on the ground floor. It is an attractive complex on approach, with clean lines and plenty of glazing, and it is clearly well-maintained within the communal ways.

Well-designed, the apartment has the living spaces to one side and the bedrooms on the other with easy access to the bathrooms. As you enter, you are immediately drawn into the open plan living room which spans the depth of the flat and has a smart, contemporary décor to suit all types of furnishing. Immaculate grey carpet flows into the living room from the entrance hall, paired with fresh white walls to create a blank canvas for new owners. There is a vast amount of space in here for relaxation, entertaining and formal dining as the kitchen is conveniently open plan but recessed.

Carpet makes way for practical yet stylish wood effect vinyl in the kitchen space which has been expertly designed to allow plenty of storage and fitted appliances, so you can move straight in with ease. Matt black door furniture echoes the dark charcoal frames of the windows which face south to bathe the room in natural light.

Along the hall, you pass a deep storage cupboard – ideal for hanging coats, organising shoes and storing household items to ensure the flat remains clutter free.

The main bathroom has a contemporary bath suite with a shower attachment over the bath and is conveniently opposite bedroom two, while the principal bedroom sits peacefully at the far end of the hall with a similarly smart en suite shower room.

Both bedrooms are fine size doubles and have double glazing so you can always ensure a truly warm and restful night’s sleep. The principal room also benefits from a wall of built in wardrobes allowing ample clothes and shoe storage for two.

This stylish apartment is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and green spaces on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and beach are also within easy reach, and this home also offers easy access to Hove Station which has direct and fast links to the airports and London.
