Why you’ll like it:
York Road sits just moments from the vibrant shops, cafés, restaurants and bars of Western Road, yet the property itself feels peaceful and tucked away. The building has classic Victorian kerb appeal, and this flat benefits from its own private front entrance at lower ground level.

Stepping inside, you enter the generous open plan living and dining room, a bright and surprisingly spacious area with light toned flooring, exposed beams and crisp white walls. The layout flows easily, with plenty of room for both lounging and dining zones. French doors at the far end open directly to the patio, allowing natural light to spill through and extending the living space during the warmer months.

The separate kitchen sits just off the main room and has a clean, practical layout with ample worktop space, modern units and tiled splashbacks. There is space for full size appliances as well as good storage, making it both functional and efficient.

Both bedrooms are doubles and positioned at opposite ends of the flat, offering excellent privacy — ideal for sharers or guests. The larger bedroom features fitted storage, alcove shelving and a window overlooking the patio. The second bedroom also offers built in cupboards and sits beside one of the bathrooms.

The apartment benefits from two bathrooms: one with a full size bath and overhead shower, the other with a corner shower enclosure. Both are finished in white tiling with simple, neutral styling.

The private patio is a superb bonus — a sheltered space with gravel, planting and room for outdoor seating. Perfect for morning coffee, evening drinks or container gardening, it feels surprisingly secluded for such a central location.

Overall, the flat offers an excellent blend of period charm, modern practicality and outdoor living, all in a prime Hove setting.

Perfectly positioned between Brighton and Hove, this home offers a brilliant mix of coastal living, convenience and community. With everything on the doorstep — shops, parks, the beach and excellent transport links — this is an ideal base in one of the city’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
