Description
Situated in an iconic Regency square in the very heart of central Hove, moments from the seafront; a spectacular THREE BEDROOM, TWO BATHROOM FIRST FLOOR APARTMENT measuring OVER 1700SQFT/161SQM and benefitting from access to a PRIVATE RESIDENTS' GARDEN and the beautiful Brunswick Square Gardens. GRADE I LISTED.
Once home to famed composer Sir Hamilton Harty, a school for young ladies and, according to rumours, even the Prince Regent stayed here; this impeccable first floor home is utterly steeped in history. A fine example of regency grandeur, magnificent sash windows peek out from iconic stucco clad, bowed bays. The simple neoclassical lines characterized by Corinthian pillars are emboldened by delicately shaped cast iron railings.
Constructed in circa. 1827 by celebrated architect Charles Busby, this stunning apartment exudes period charm, highlighted by a striking curved bay window, beautiful wood floors, lofty ceilings, and intricate cornicing. Historically used as a ballroom, the reception room is located at the very heart of the property; a standout feature, boasting elegant wood flooring, an elaborate working fireplace, and opulent boiserie. The modern kitchen offers a sleek handleless design, equipped with a range of premium appliances and smart lighting. With ample storage and a convenient built-in breakfast bar, it's ideal for casual dining. The generous principal bedroom suite features a decorative fireplace, large sash windows, and a private en-suite shower room. Two additional double bedrooms, both impeccably presented, include fitted storage. A bright bathroom with a shower over bath completes this inviting residence.
Worthy of particular mention, is the striking communal entrance complete with standout Victorian mosaic tilling, an Escher staircase and exceptionally maintained antique lift. A good-sized private residents' garden is accessible from Brunswick Street West, the space is large enough to accommodate family picknicks and summer gatherings. Brunswick Square Gardens are available for residence use, and beautifully-kept featuring a myriad of mature plants, trees, shrubbery and flowers. The gardens play host to several community events during the summer months.
Brunswick Square is only moments from the seafront, and Hove Lawns along with the green open spaces of its own communal gardens, Palmeira Square and St. Ann’s Well Gardens.
When it comes to shops, bars and restaurants there’s no shortage of choice as the amenities of Church Road, Western Road and Brighton’s famous Lanes are all only moments away. Offering everything from high street and independent stores to the unique coffee blends of local cafes, everything you need is right on your doorstep.
