Flat for sale in St. Leonards Avenue, Hove BN3

Set on a leafy road in West Hove, leading down towards Hove Lagoon and the beach, this sweet one-bedroom flat is brimming with potential to add value. It spans the first floor of a terraced house with wide bay windows to fill it with natural light from east to west. It also benefits from a spacious loft room which would work well as a second bedroom once converted (subject to planning). While the interior would benefit from modernisation, all fittings are in fine working order, so you can move straight in or let it out immediately if need be.

From the communal hallway, the door to the flat opens to an internal staircase which adds to the feeling of space inside. Light streams onto the landing from the kitchen and living room which sit side by side spanning the front of the property. It would therefore be possible to open these rooms up to create on large open plan space – certainly food for thought. Currently, the living room feels homely with a fresh neutral décor and space for comfortable furnishings and a small dining table to fit within the bay window. Next door, the galley kitchen has been well designed for the space allowing for plenty if eye level storage alongside space and plumbing for a dishwasher, washing machine, cooker and an under-counter fridge – some of which may be available by separate negotiation.

Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, the bedroom looks out over the peaceful neighbouring gardens. It is a fine size double room with built-in wardrobes to maximise the floor space, and once again, the decoration is fresh with white walls and grey carpet, so it is a blank canvas for new owners. Conveniently nearby, the bathroom is simply designed with white sanitaryware and a shower over the bath.

Uniquely, this property has a staircase leading to a loft room which would be ripe for conversion to create a second bedroom subject to planning permissions. It would require the addition of Velux windows and/or a dormer, but it would certainly add value in such a sought-after location.
