2 bed flat to rent

First Avenue, Hove BN3

Tenure: Leasehold

Just moments from Hove Promenade and the beach, this exceptional second floor apartment offers beautifully designed coastal living in one of Hove’s most prestigious addresses.

Renovated to a very high standard, the apartment has been finished with quality materials, elegant detailing and a sophisticated sense of style throughout, creating a home that feels both luxurious and effortlessly comfortable.

Accessed via a particularly well-maintained communal hallway, the apartment opens first into a practical entrance hall with ample room for coats and shoes, before a second door reveals the main living space where the quality of light is immediately striking. High ceilings, sash windows dressed with plantation shutters and carefully chosen finishes give the property an unmistakably refined feel.

At the front of the apartment, the stunning open-plan reception room is bathed in natural light and enjoys an attractive outlook with views of the sea at the end of the road. A feature fireplace with marble hearth, bespoke shelving, built-in storage and a deep window seat with concealed storage all contribute warmth and character, while offering the perfect spot to sit and relax or entertain.

Set up a couple of steps and tucked neatly to one side, the kitchen is cleverly separated by a half wall to retain the sociable feel of the room while providing subtle distinction between spaces. Fitted with soft pink shaker cabinetry, lightly speckled worktops, breakfast bar seating and excellent storage, it is both stylish and highly functional.

There are two generously sized double bedrooms. The front bedroom is a beautifully presented and versatile room, complete with built-in shelving and desk space ideal for home working. Positioned peacefully at the rear, the principal bedroom feels calm and private, with storage cupboard and plenty of space for additional furnishings.

The bathroom has been finished with a boutique feel, featuring striking burgundy wall panelling, a double rainfall shower and vanity basin.

Combining period charm, contemporary luxury and a prime seafront setting, this is a superb apartment ideally suited to a professional couple, single occupant or small family seeking an exceptional home by the coast.
