First Avenue, Hove

Positioned in one of Hove's most sought-after addresses, this beautifully presented two-bedroom period apartment combines elegant original features with stylish, contemporary living, just moments from the seafront and Hove Lawns.

First Avenue enjoys an enviable location, with the wide open green spaces of Hove Lawns and the beach at the bottom of the road. Popular throughout the year for walking, exercising, sporting events and enjoying the seafront, it is one of the area's most desirable coastal settings. At the opposite end of the avenue, Church Road offers an excellent selection of independent cafés, restaurants, boutiques and bars, making this an ideal home for professionals looking for both lifestyle and convenience.
Internally, the apartment has a wonderful sense of space, with high ceilings, original picture rails and cornicing complemented by warm honey-toned wood flooring throughout.

The principal living space is particularly impressive: bright, elegant and beautifully proportioned, with three sash windows fitted with plantation shutters allowing plenty of natural light to flood the room. A handsome feature fireplace provides a natural focal point, while the open-plan kitchen creates a relaxed and sociable space for entertaining, dining and everyday living.

The primary bedroom is a generous double, continuing the apartment's calm and characterful feel. The second bedroom is smaller but cleverly arranged with a built-in raised bed/day-bed area incorporating useful storage beneath, making it an exceptionally versatile room that could work equally well as a guest bedroom, home office or study.

The bathroom is finished in a neutral palette with tiled walls for practicality, a bath with overhead shower, timber bath panel and coordinating vanity unit topped with a contemporary bowl basin and chrome fittings.

A particularly unusual and valuable addition is the separate utility and storage room located just outside the apartment within the hallway. Plumbed for a washing machine and offering excellent additional storage, it provides the sort of practical space rarely found in apartments of this style and location.

Combining period character, excellent proportions and an outstanding central Hove position, this is a sophisticated coastal home within easy reach of the beach, Hove Lawns and everything this highly desirable neighbourhood has to offer.
