Seize a rare opportunity to own a 2-bed flat in Arundel House. This stunning period building is thought to be Brighton's first purpose-built block of flats. Near the beach and Church Road, the flat offers immense potential for a stylish renovation project for the right buyer.
Property Oracle says ..
This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom flat is situated on The Drive in Central Hove, a highly sought-after area known for its convenient location, proximity to the beach and amenities, and quality schooling. The property itself is located in what looks to be a well-maintained period building. The exterior maintains character and grandeur, however, the interior images show an apartment that requires significant updating and modernisation. The decor is dated, and the overall aesthetic suggests a need for refurbishment. The kitchen and bathrooms, in particular, appear somewhat tired and would likely benefit from a complete renovation. Despite the need for upgrades, the location is a substantial asset. The close proximity to Hove train station, Church Road’s shops and restaurants, and highly rated schools like St Andrew’s Cofe Primary School and The Montessori Place makes this property attractive despite its dated interior. There is no garden or exterior land associated with the property. The price point of £450,000 is competitive for the area considering comparable nearby listings, but potential buyers should factor in the costs associated with the required renovations. Overall, this property presents a chance to create a stylish home in a prime location, with the caveat of needing substantial modernisation work before it is a ready-to-move-in dwelling.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
