It sits on a wide, tree-lined avenue leading down to the seafront in West Hove and is formed from the entire first floor of a substantial semi-detached house, built during the 1920s.

Braemore Road is characterised by attractive detached homes set back from a wide, tree-lined avenue leading down to the sea in Central Hove. At the southern end you can see the concertina roofs of the city’s iconic beach huts, silhouetted against the sea and skyscapes beyond, reminding you just how close to the coast this property is.

This apartment sits within a semi-detached house with classic box bay windows and Sussex hung tiles on its façade. It is a well-maintained building, the door to this apartment opens on the ground floor to an internal staircase rising up to the main body of the flat, adding to the sense of space within.

Sitting to the front of the property, the living room has a wide bay window almost covering the easterly elevation, bringing in a lovely morning light. There is plenty of space for both relaxation and formal dining in here, although there is space for a table to eat in the kitchen too. An Art Nouveau style fireplace takes centre stage and the colours within the decorative tiles have been picked up on the walls within the alcoves and chimney breast.

The kitchen and dining room sits to the rear of the property looking out over the green of neighbouring gardens through a box bay window which offers the perfect space for a table and chairs. It is a spacious and versatile kitchen with plenty of storage, leaving space for freestanding appliances, yet it would be possible to add real value in here with some modernisation.

Sharing the same westerly aspect as the kitchen, the principal bedroom is a fantastic size with built-in wardrobes to maximise the floor space further. Bedroom two is currently dressed as a children’s room with bunk beds and freestanding furnishings, but it would also house a small double bed if need be – or would be ideal as a spacious home office for professionals working from home. Nearby, the bathroom has been modernised more recently and has mocha tiling around a white bath suite with a shower over.

This is a wonderfully sunny apartment in a popular location which is well served for shops, the beach, parks and schools. There are plenty of local green spaces, and great transport links, but you are also only a short walk from everything this vibrant coastal city has to offer. The A23 and three stations are also within easy reach, for those requiring fast links to Gatwick or London on a daily or weekly basis.
