Why you’ll like it:
A street of two halves; this apartment sits on the upper section, centrally within Poets Corner close to the shops of Portland Road and several excellent foodie pubs which have made the area so popular. The house is quintessentially Victorian in style with an immaculate façade bearing the classic architectural features of the period. Set back and elevated slightly above the road, steps lead up to the front door shared by just one other apartment.

Entering the apartment on the first floor, the eye is drawn first to the living room to the front of the house where a wide bay window almost covers the easterly elevation to bring in a wealth of natural light. The decoration is smart and neutral so you can move straight in and start enjoying the space or get creative and treat it like a blank canvas. There is ample space for relaxation and for dining in the bay which looks out along the road opposite giving open views so you can watch the world go by as you eat. Along the hall, the kitchen is bijou but well-designed for the space to allow for a freestanding cooker, washing machine and an under-counter fridge. While it is a fully functional space, it is a room where value can be added with renovation.

Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building looking down onto neighbouring gardens, the bedroom is a fine size with space for freestanding furnishings and a small double bed. The bathroom nearby is classic in white with a shower over the bath. Much like the kitchen, this is another area which would benefit from modernisation to add value.

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