2 Bedroom Apartment

Guide Price £400,000-£425,000

Wilbury Road is one of those Hove locations where daily life happens easily on foot. Baked is at the bottom of the road for what could quickly become a regular weekend brunch, while Fatto a Mano sits just the other side of Church Road, a dangerously convenient combination. Hove’s flagship Flour Pot Bakery is just around the corner too, with the seafront and Hove Station both an easy walk away.

Set on the lower ground floor of a period building, this recently renovated two bedroom apartment feels quietly tucked away from it all. Bay windows, original detailing and generous proportions give the rooms their character, while the renovation has kept things simple and contemporary. An independent entrance adds to that feeling of having your own space in the middle of Hove.

The main living room is centred around a broad bay window, with an original fireplace, ceiling rose and cornicing adding to the period feel. It is a genuinely generous and useable room, with the scale to create different areas for relaxing, working or having friends over without the space ever feeling crowded.

The kitchen sits separately, with generous worktops, integrated appliances and a simple contemporary finish. There is also enough room for a dining table, creating a more informal place to eat while allowing the main reception room to remain entirely dedicated to living.

Both bedrooms are well proportioned, with the principal bedroom particularly generous and framed by another broad bay window. The bathroom is larger than you might expect, with both a full size bath and separate walk in shower, giving it a little more space and comfort than is often found in a flat of this kind.

To the front, there is an outside area with enough room to pull up a couple of chairs and sit out with a coffee when the weather allows, a small but useful addition to the apartment.

There is also plenty of storage throughout, particularly around the entrance to the apartment. This part of the flat has been put to good use, with the boiler neatly housed away alongside an integrated freezer and additional storage for the things you would rather keep out of sight.

Church Road becomes an extension of home here. Coffee, dinner, a walk along the seafront or a train into London can all happen without much planning, which is perhaps the real appeal of living in this particular pocket of Hove.

Offered chain free, with a share of the freehold between just four owners, this is an easy, well connected home that combines the character of a period property with the kind of everyday Hove lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to replicate.
