***Open House Saturday October 10th 12:00 - 1:00pm***

High above Hove, with far-reaching panoramic sea views stretching across the city and southern horizon, this exceptional fifth-floor apartment occupies a prime position within Tate Residences, one of Hove's most sought-after contemporary developments.

A remarkable south-facing terrace extending over 32 feet places those views at the heart of the home.

Apartments here rarely come to market, and it is easy to understand why. Beautiful contemporary architecture, immaculate communal spaces, secure underground parking, lift access to all floors and a spectacular residents' roof terrace overlooking the Sussex County Cricket Ground create a building that feels considered at every level.

Extending to approximately 1,010 sq ft, the apartment is a beautifully presented, turnkey home defined by light, space and its elevated position.

The principal living room and both bedrooms are arranged along the southern elevation to make the most of the open aspect and spectacular views, while the living space and principal bedroom open directly onto the substantial private terrace.

At the heart of the apartment is an impressive 32-foot kitchen, dining and living space. Full-height glazing brings the view and natural light deep into the room, while sliding doors open directly outside. There is generous space for distinct living and dining areas, creating a room that works just as naturally for entertaining as it does for everyday life.

The contemporary kitchen is quietly integrated into the space, with streamlined cabinetry, contrasting timber detailing, generous work surfaces and integrated appliances. A separate utility room keeps the practical side of daily life neatly out of sight.

The terrace is undoubtedly one of the defining features of the apartment. South-facing and extending to approximately 32'6", this is genuine outdoor living space rather than simply a balcony, with ample room for dining, lounging and entertaining. Its elevated fifth floor position opens up far reaching panoramic sea views, creating an extraordinary backdrop throughout the day and bringing the coast into the everyday experience of the apartment.

The principal bedroom has the scale of a genuine suite. At approximately 23 feet in length, it incorporates extensive fitted storage, a private en suite boutique-style bathroom and direct access onto the terrace, allowing you to step straight outside.

The second bedroom is another generous double, sharing the elevated southerly outlook and offering ample room for a dedicated workspace if required. A beautiful, well-fitted separate shower room serves the second bedroom and guests.

Practicality has been equally well considered. In addition to the separate utility room, a fitted walk-in boot room provides extensive hanging space, shelving, shoe storage and cabinetry, giving the apartment an unusual amount of useful storage without compromising the principal rooms.

There is a calm, contemporary feel throughout, with herringbone flooring through the principal living areas, generous glazing and carefully considered finishes. Immaculately presented and ready to move straight into, this is a genuinely turnkey home where the architecture, natural light and remarkable outlook do much of the talking.

The apartment also benefits from underfloor heating throughout and a mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (mvhr) system, providing a constant supply of fresh, filtered air while retaining heat, enhancing both comfort and energy efficiency.

Offered for sale with no onward chain, there is also the opportunity for a straightforward and potentially swift purchase.

Tate Residences.

Designed by ece Architecture for Roffey Homes and Sussex County Cricket Club, Tate Residences is a landmark contemporary building comprising just 37 apartments across nine storeys. The quality of its architecture was recognised with the Sussex Heritage Trust Award for Large Scale Residential in 2024.

The experience of the building begins well before reaching the apartment. Beautifully designed and maintained communal areas, a striking entrance lobby and secure entry create an immediate sense of quality.

Accessed behind secure electric gates, the underground car park provides the apartment with its own dedicated parking space. From here, lift access connects directly through the building to the residential floors, making the transition from car to home exceptionally straightforward.

That ease of access is one of the building's quieter strengths. With lifts serving the residential floors and connecting with the underground parking and communal areas, the building lends itself particularly well to effortless, long-term living while still offering the elevation, privacy and views of a fifth-floor home.

Residents also have access to a dedicated bicycle store and one of Tate Residences' most distinctive features, the communal roof terrace. Positioned high above the city and overlooking the Sussex County Cricket Ground, it provides an exceptional additional outdoor space with panoramic vistas across Hove and a unique vantage point over the cricket below.

The combination of architecture, security, gated underground parking, lift access, beautifully maintained communal areas and residents' facilities has made Tate Residences a particularly sought-after address. With only 37 apartments within the building, opportunities to buy here are relatively rare.

Location.

Tate Residences sits in the heart of Hove, brilliantly positioned between the station, Church Road and the seafront, placing much of what makes this part of the city so enjoyable within walking distance.

Church Road is at the centre of Hove's independent food and restaurant scene, with an ever-evolving collection of coffee shops, bakeries, bars, restaurants and independent retailers alongside everything needed for everyday life. Morning coffee, dinner or drinks can all happen locally, giving this part of Hove the genuine neighbourhood atmosphere for which it has become so well known.

The coast is equally accessible. Hove Lawns, the promenade and beach are an easy walk away, opening up miles of seafront for swimming, walking, running and cycling.

Along the coastline, Rockwater, Marrocco's and the collection of beachside cafés, restaurants and bars stretching towards central Brighton have made the seafront a year-round destination, while the lawns and promenade retain the relaxed character that has always distinguished Hove from its busier neighbour.

Immediately alongside Tate Residences, the Sussex County Cricket Ground adds another dimension to the setting, hosting cricket and summer events throughout the season. From the residents' roof terrace, the ground becomes quite literally part of the view.

Hove mainline station is also within easy reach, providing direct services to London and Gatwick, while regular bus services connect the wider city and coastline.

For those relocating from London, downsizing from a larger house or simply looking for a home that can work equally well now and in years to come, this is a compelling combination: Generous lateral space, a huge south-facing private terrace, panoramic sea views, secure gated underground parking and the convenience of lift-served contemporary living, all within one of Hove's most highly regarded modern buildings.
