Why you’ll like it:

Cromwell Road joins Davigdor Road to link Hove Station with Seven Dials, so this apartment could not be in a better location for those wishing to live the quintessential city lifestyle by the sea. The transport links by train, bus or car are excellent, yet you can walk or cycle everywhere too. While you are incredibly central in the city, the streets are tree-lined, so you are surrounded by greenery, and as you rise to this apartment on the first floor, the views across the local landscape are far-reaching and open, allowing for plenty of natural light to stream in.

This apartment sits within a substantial, pale gault-brick Victorian townhouse which feels grand on the approach. You enter the communal hallway where your door is clearly numbered up a sweeping staircase. This opens to a small entrance hall with space for hanging coats. From here, the bathroom is first to the left with a shower over the bath and classic white tiles on the walls, so you can add your own style with accessories. Next, the eye is drawn to the living room to the front of the property where a deep bay window almost covers the southerly elevation creating a light and airy space. Classic cornicing, skirtings and sashes add period character to the room which is a great size for both a sofa and a small dining table and chairs which fit perfectly within the bay.

Conveniently adjoining, the kitchen is another well-designed space with plenty of storage for a single person or couple, alongside an integrated oven with hob and space for a washing machine and a tall fridge freezer.

The bedroom sits alongside the living area, sharing the same sunny aspect with leafy views to the south. It is a fine size double with white walls, carpet underfoot and a high ceiling which adds to the feeling of space.
