Rising several storeys and adorned with beautiful Victorian architectural detailing, the impressive villas of First Avenue create one of Hove's most distinguished streets, stretching from Church Road down to the seafront. Despite their central location, they enjoy a surprisingly peaceful setting, with mature trees and well-established gardens providing a sense of privacy and tranquillity.
This apartment is found on the second floor, and is naturally light with tall sash windows, high ceilings and access to a private balcony with sea views. Internally, the flat has a neutral décor throughout, creating a blank canvas for those looking to personalise. While the property is presented in good condition throughout, it offers excellent potential for further enhancement and modernisation, allowing purchasers the opportunity to create a home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.
There is ample space within the sunny east facing living/dining room for a work space or dining space, plus further room for comfortable sofas and chairs. The balcony provides a delightful spot to enjoy the morning sun, with attractive views stretching down to the sea and the promenade below. The kitchen is well-designed and includes plenty of storage at both base and eye levels, including an integrated oven and hob while leaving space for a washing machine and a tall fridge freezer. Sharing the same easterly aspect and tall windows as the living room, the bedroom is bathed in natural light, with the morning sun gently filtering through to start the day. Floor space has been maximised by utilising the ceiling height for raised storage, leaving space for a double bed and free-standing furnishings. Classic in design the bathroom is fitted with an electric shower over the bath, ensuring a reliable supply of hot water throughout the day.
