Grand Avenue, Hove

There is an immediate sense of grandeur on arrival at this exceptional three-bedroom apartment on Hove's prestigious Grand Avenue. Set within an impressive period building moments from the seafront, the property combines beautifully proportioned rooms and wonderful original character with a stylish contemporary finish, extending to approximately 1,164 sq ft.

The building itself makes a memorable first impression. Beyond its handsome red-brick façade, an extraordinary communal entrance hall feels almost ballroom-like in scale, with parquet flooring, decorative wall panelling, a coffered ceiling and sweeping staircase setting the tone beautifully.

Occupying the second floor, the apartment continues that feeling of space. At its heart is an impressive 19'7" living room, where large windows bring in plenty of natural light and a beautiful carved stone fireplace provides a striking focal point and a wonderful reminder of the building's history.

The kitchen/dining room is equally generous, measuring approximately 19'4" x 17'5" at its widest points. Designed as a genuinely sociable space, there is ample room for a full-size dining table alongside a well-appointed kitchen with sleek cabinetry, extensive solid wood worktops and integrated appliances.

The principal bedroom is another beautifully proportioned room, measuring approximately 14'10" x 13'3", and benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes. The second double bedroom also has a fitted wardrobe and is currently being used as a home office. A third bedroom provides excellent flexibility as a guest room, nursery or dedicated workspace. A stylish contemporary shower room completes the accommodation.

Residents also benefit from individual basement storage, shared storage for larger items such as bicycles and paddleboards, and a small communal patio to the left of the building.

Grand Avenue is one of Hove's most recognisable and desirable addresses, with Hove Lawns and the seafront at the end of the road. Church Road is also close at hand, offering an excellent collection of independent cafés, restaurants, bars and shops, while Hove Station and regular transport links provide convenient connections across the city and beyond.

Spacious, elegant and full of character, this is an apartment that feels every bit as impressive as its Grand Avenue address. From the remarkable entrance hall and beautifully proportioned rooms to the stone fireplace and proximity to the sea, it offers a wonderful combination of period grandeur, modern comfort and an unmistakable sense of place.
