Soaring ceilings, marble fireplaces and tall sash windows feature heavily in this exceptionally spacious one-bedroom flat in central Hove.

Hugely attractive on approach, the house itself is statuesque in pale gault brick – a look favoured in the Willett Estate Conservation Area – with the door to this first-floor apartment to one side up a few steps.

Stepping inside, you walk straight into the main living area where the character of the building shines through. Deep skirtings, picture rails, dado rails and classic cornicing have been retained in this bright and airy room with space for entertaining or relaxing by the period fireplace. In a room of this scale, there are clearly defined areas for comfortable furnishings and a dining table within the bay window which looks out over the mature trees lining the road.

Next door, the kitchen also boasts a beautiful marble fireplace and exposed brick wall, and also feels spacious with a high ceiling and a tall window to bring in natural light. Kitchen cabinets offer plenty of storage alongside open shelving and space for freestanding appliances, although the oven and hob are integrated. To modernise in here would certainly add value in such a prestigious property and location.

Sharing the same beautiful proportions as the living room, the bedroom sits peacefully to the rear of the building enjoying views over neighbouring gardens. Again, the period features are stunning and the en suite bathroom also has a modern take on a traditional style with wood panelling around the bath.

This period home is beautifully situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach nearby. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this apartment also offers easy access to Hove Station and the A23/A27 which have direct and fast links to the airports and London.
