1 bed flat for sale

Old Shoreham Road, Hove, East Sussex BN3

There are garden flats... And then there 'are' garden flats. If a certain upmarket supermarket ever ventured into homes, they might well start here.

The current owners have thoughtfully improved their home over the past nine years, leaving no stone unturned. Extending to just under 700 sq ft of internal living space (excluding the garden studio), this charming apartment feels both warm and spacious, while beautifully showcasing its Edwardian heritage with original features throughout.

Accessed via a side entrance, a useful entrance hall leads to a stunning reception room complete with an open fire and stripped wooden floorboards. The kitchen is generously sized, modern and finished to a high specification, offering everything a keen cook could wish for. This flows seamlessly into an extension housing a bright utility area, which also provides a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the garden, thanks to bi-fold doors.

The bedroom is well-proportioned and continues the theme of stripped floorboards, offering ample space for wardrobes alongside built-in storage. A hallway bookcase cleverly conceals additional storage (including the gas combination boiler). The bathroom is a real highlight, featuring a luxurious roll-top bath, a large separate shower, quality fittings throughout, and a large window allowing for plenty of natural light.

Finally, the garden truly sets this home apart. Measuring approximately 75ft x 64ft, south-facing and wonderfully secluded, it provides an exceptional space for relaxing or entertaining. A generous patio area with attractive flagstone paving and flowerbeds creates the perfect setting for al fresco dining. Beyond a charming gate lies an L-shaped lawn bordered by mature shrubs and trees, offering a peaceful retreat. Tucked away, a separate studio with bi-fold doors, power and its own WC provides an ideal space for working from home or accommodating guests, completing this truly remarkable home.

Old Shoreham Road is ideally located near Hove Park, Hove Recreation Ground and St Ann’s Well Gardens, offering excellent green spaces and leisure facilities. Set in central Hove, it’s around 5 minute walk to Hove Station for convenient commuter links, with regular bus routes across the city and to the seafront, while the beach and Hove Lawns are also within easy reach. A variety of shops, amenities and cafés can be found nearby on Church Road and Sackville Road, with Goldstone Retail Park just a short distance away.
