2 rooms apartment of 98m² in Portslade by Sea

Occupying the lower ground floor of an elegant period building on one of central Hove’s most attractive residential roads, this beautifully proportioned garden apartment offers an uncommon sense of privacy, space and versatility. Steps descend to the front courtyard garden and private entrance, establishing an immediate sense of separation from the street above, while front and rear outside spaces reinforce the property’s unusual privacy and independence, quietly self-contained and thoughtfully arranged throughout. You enter into the kitchen which has been fitted in a timeless shaker style, finished in soft grey tones with marble-effect worktops and integrated appliances. Practicality has been carefully considered here, with a separate utility room alongside two additional ancillary rooms – flexible spaces that work equally well as a home office, dressing room, studio, wellness room or substantial additional storage. A broad central hallway runs through the apartment and adds to the sense of volume, offering a natural place for bookshelves, artwork or a dedicated work-from-home setting. To the rear, the principal reception room is particularly impressive. Generous in scale and filled with natural light from the large bay window, it looks directly onto the garden and retains elegant period detailing including a decorative ceiling rose and feature fireplace. The result is a room that feels both calm and substantial, equally suited to entertaining or quieter everyday living. The rear garden is a genuine rarity for this style of home – notably larger than expected and designed with ease in mind, combining lawn with a decked seating terrace positioned to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. The principal bedroom sits at the front overlooking the private courtyard and is served by a contemporary en-suite shower room. The second bedroom enjoys a quieter rear aspect over the garden and lends itself equally well to guest accommodation, a refined study or a second double bedroom depending on need. A separate bathroom, beautifully simple in design and fitted with a full bath, completes the accommodation.
