With generous proportions and huge scope for adding value, this one-bedroom apartment is a hidden gem in Central Hove. It sits elevated on the third floor of a smart, purpose-built development giving it ample storage space and large picture windows to fill it with natural light from the south and...

The property is located in Central Hove, a popular area of Brighton and Hove, East Sussex. Central Hove benefits from its proximity to Hove mainline railway station providing convenient access to Brighton and London. The area also offers a wide range of amenities including cafes, bars, restaurants and shops, along with several well-regarded schools such as The Montessori Place (Outstanding Ofsted rating) within a short distance. This contributes to a high quality of life and strong rental demand, making it an attractive location for buyers.
Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in generally good condition. The rooms are spacious and the property benefits from recently updated bathrooms and kitchen. There is some evidence of wear and tear, particularly the wooden flooring, but this is not extensive and would likely be addressed by a new owner. The property would benefit from some modernisation, but is habitable and well-presented.
The property lacks a garden, which is a common feature of flats. This is a factor to consider for buyers who desire outdoor space.
The list price of £250,000 is significantly below the average price for the area (£477,292). However, this is likely due to the smaller size (663.38 sqft) compared to the average (794 sqft) and the absence of a garden. While the average price per sqft is £601, this property is considerably smaller and lacks outdoor space. Considering the location, condition, and lack of outdoor space, the price seems reasonable, although it is at the lower end of the market in this area. Nearby comparable properties support this assessment, with prices ranging from £235,000 to £325,000 for similar one-bedroom flats in the area.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
