The Upper Drive, Hove

A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional three bedroom PENTHOUSE apartment in one of Hove’s most sought after central locations, occupying the entire top floor with two covered parking spaces, impressive outside space, far reaching sea views and the added advantage of owning the FREEHOLD to the whole building.

Positioned on The Upper Drive, this outstanding penthouse offers bright, spacious and beautifully arranged accommodation extending to approximately 1,135 sq ft, with the major advantage of a substantial private roof terrace and balcony enjoying far reaching rooftop views towards the sea.

The heart of the home is the superb open plan kitchen, living and dining room, a wonderful space for both day to day living and entertaining. The lounge opens directly onto the front balcony where there are lovely far reaching sea views, creating a real sense of light and openness. The kitchen is sleek and contemporary, featuring a breakfast bar, granite worktops, excellent storage and generous workspace, all flowing seamlessly into the main reception area.

To the rear of the apartment are three well proportioned bedrooms, all positioned to enjoy privacy and direct access to the outside space. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, an en suite shower room and doors opening straight onto the terrace. A modern family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

A standout feature of this home is the impressive private roof terrace, which enjoys lovely far reaching sea and rooftop views and provides a superb sun trap, ideal for sunbathing, outside dining and summer BBQs. This is a rare outside space for a central Hove apartment and gives the property a real penthouse feel.

What makes this opportunity even more exciting is that the purchase includes the freehold to the entire building. This gives buyers genuine long term potential, whether as an investment, development project or to further enhance the existing apartment. The neighbouring block has secured planning permission to create three additional apartments within the airspace, highlighting the future possibilities here. Subject to the necessary planning consents, there may also be scope to extend the existing apartment into a duplex or enlarge the current penthouse further into the terrace to create an even more substantial home.

Further benefits include two covered allocated parking spaces with an EV charging point, access to well kept communal gardens, and two secure communal storage areas in the basement, ideal for bicycles and general storage. Perfectly positioned in the heart of central Hove, the property is just moments from Hove Station and within easy reach of Church Road’s excellent selection of shops, cafes, restaurants and bars.
