Cambridge Road, Hove, BN3

Set back from the road with access to a rear courtyard garden, this two-bedroom lower ground floor apartment feels naturally light and deceptively spacious. It resides in Brunswick Town Conservation Area, well known for its vibrant community, Regency squares and gardens, and its proximity to both the city centre and the sea. It is a hugely popular district to live in due to excellent transport links, a favoured school catchment and easy access to the many boutique shops, wine bars and restaurants of Central Hove.
Internally, this property has many modernisations with stylish finishes to the bathroom and kitchen, alongside original period features. There remains plenty of scope, however, for further redecoration or reconfigurations which would add value in such a prestigious location. Seven Dials is also on the doorstep, named locally as ‘Greenwich-by-the-Sea’, so it is the ideal place for professionals looking to live the best of all worlds with beaches, parks and a city lifestyle close by.

Since the early 19th Century, Brunswick Town has been one of the most sought-after locations to live in Brighton & Hove. It holds all the best qualities of the city: clean beaches, the cosmopolitan shops, restaurants and bars of Western and Church Roads, the regal architecture, and a vibrant community culture. This generous apartment in nestled in amongst it all, yet it remains incredibly peaceful. Once inside, or in the courtyard garden, it is hard to believe you are so close to the city centre.
With its own street entrance, you approach down a few stone steps, past a well-maintained front garden to your door. This opens to a wide and welcoming hallway running through the depth of the building bringing some scale to the space.
First to the left is the generous living room, spanning the front of the house with dark wood flooring and three sash windows forming a complete bay across the easterly elevation. These are fitted with white shutters to diffuse the morning light while also providing privacy from the street. Despite being a lower ground property, it is naturally light as it is set well back from the road. There is ample space in here for relaxed furnishing and a dining table and chairs alongside the hatch through to the kitchen. A grand period fireplace takes centre stage – but is for decoration only, while vintage style column radiators warm the room in winter.
Conveniently next door to the living and dining room, the kitchen benefits from borrowed light via a large transom window. It has been recently renovated with streamlined white gloss cabinetry paired with solid oak worktops and several integrated appliances, leaving space for a tall fridge freezer.
Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, the bedrooms look out over the rear courtyard garden via large sash windows. The principal room is particularly spacious, echoing the size of the living room, while the second bedroom would fit a small double bed at one end or bunks for a family set up. There is plenty of built in storage and the larger room also boasts a chic en suite shower room with brick wall tiles around a modern rainfall shower. Bedroom two has easy access to the second shower room in the hall, making this a great space for professional sharers, or those looking for a spare guest room and home office for working from home.
During spring and summer, it is delightful sitting outside where the sun streams in from the south and west from lunch time onwards. It is perfectly private out here with just the sounds of wildlife in neighbouring trees, and you are not overlooked. With faux grass it is also incredibly low maintenance, and you can brighten the space with colourful potted plants if you choose.

This spacious apartment is brilliantly situated in a popular area with a vibrant café culture and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and it also offers easy access to Brighton Station which has direct and fast links to the airports and London.
