Kings Esplanade, Hove, East Sussex, BN3

Comprising eight flats, all owner occupied, it is managed internally to a very high standard. The congenial atmosphere and cooperation is important in making this a special place to live, evidenced by the fact that some of the residents have been here for over twenty years. This is a rare opportunity to buy an impeccable apartment in the unique Central Hove building.

One enters the striking lobby with its mosaic tiled flooring, the original gated lift in front, and an elegant staircase winding upwards with soft light from a large stained glass window.

To the right, on the ground floor is this apartment. Immediately on entering the hallway you are struck by the generous Edwardian proportions of the building, the high ceilings, large panelled doors and shaped cornices.
Both large reception rooms have Venetian-style three-part windows overlooking the sea.

The Edwardian red of the dining room contrasts with its warm wooden flooring, enhanced by the copper of an Italian pendant light.
The spacious sitting room in contrast is the epitome of calmness, soft white walls, an Adam style fireplace, and gentle lighting.

Also leading off the hallway is a cloakroom with cupboards behind sliding doors. A door opens to the outside courtyard, mainly for the use of this apartment.

A rich green passage leads to the rest of the apartment. On one side is the kitchen which is fully modernised with ample storage space, a large Rangemaster cooker, an induction hob, and a multi-functioning tap. It is light with bespoke white Corian worktops and large windows overlooking the courtyard.

The three bedrooms are all generously sized, with the main one, newly painted in whites and dark green, having a large bay window. This leads to a generous dressing room with storage space behind sliding doors, and an en-suite bathroom.

The apartment’s main bathroom is spectacular. It is stunningly large, with a walk-in shower, a slipper bath and underfloor heating. The back wall of Brazilian pyrite slate tiles contrasts with the soft grey of the walls and the ceramic floor tiles.

Parking is not an issue. At the rear of the building is a gated private carpark. Each resident has their own space with its EV charging point. Ample storage space in the shared basement includes dedicated cycle space.

The long established local community's shops include an artisan baker, a Co-Op, a health shop, and a picture framer, with the high street's many independent restaurants and coffee shops within a five minute walk.
