The Drive, Hove BN3

Superbly located in central Hove within easy reach of the seafront and beach, a generously sized two/three bedroom lower ground floor apartment with a fantastic private garden. Sold with no onward chain.

Set on the lower ground floor of a distinguished Grade II listed yellow-brick detached villa, designed by the renowned architect William Willett in the 1890s, this light and spacious apartment perfectly combines modern comfort with timeless style.

A welcoming hallway leads through to a generously proportioned living room featuring elegant wood flooring and classic plantation shutters.
