This very flexible, three double bedroom apartment occupies a first-floor position within a landmark building on Hove’s highly coveted Grand Avenue. In a fantastically central position, 4 Grand Avenue is a Grade II-listed purpose-built block built in the late 1930s in the Moderne style, which echoes the Art Deco period with its curving lines, large windows and geometric motifs. While some of the original features have been replaced, a number of the building’s character elements remain including the original lifts with folding safety gates and inlaid marquetry, hardwood doors and cornices within the communal spaces. Internally the apartment offers fantastic scope for renovation, with great potential to create a stylish home in a highly sought-after setting – the flat is ideally placed for all that Brighton and Hove has to offer. The versatile layout is long and linear, with the living spaces well separated from the bedrooms. At the front of the apartment, an open plan living space looks out over Grand Avenue and the seafront from tall windows and a balcony. There is an internal hallway – great for receiving guests – which separates the sitting and dining room from the rest of the accommodation, which is situated along a hallway and comprises a kitchen, three good-size double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The apartment has great storage and excellent natural light. In short, a fantastically spacious apartment in a wonderful setting.
OutsideLovely sea views can be enjoyed from the private west-facing balcony, which overlooks a public green space to the front of the building and Hove Lanes on the seafront. The building benefits from a landscaped communal garden and bike store, and there is on-street parking available locally (permit required).
