Furze Hill, Hove, BN3 1NH

The luxury apartments of Wick Hall have retained their upmarket status since being built in 1936. They sit on a quiet road close to the sea, the city and St. Ann’s Well Gardens, so they enjoy the best of all worlds with so much nearby to be explored on foot.

This sizeable two-bedroom apartment resides on the third floor enjoying a southerly aspect with leafy treetop views. It also has a private balcony two communal gardens which are impeccably kept by the gardener. The interior has been renovated and well-maintained by the current owners creating a fresh blank canvas for those moving in.

Although this property sits peacefully tucked away from the hubbub of the city, you are still incredibly well-connected with excellent transport links nearby. There is also a porter to collect your refuse, and the heating and hot water are centralised, so they are part of the maintenance rather than billed. With a fantastic sense of community and ‘outstanding’ schools nearby, this flat would be perfect for commuters, professional sharers, families and investors alike!

As one of the city’s most attractive apartment buildings, Wick Hall and neighbouring Furze Croft were completed in 1936 (the same year as the Queen Mary was launched) and have been compared to ocean liners with their attractive and linear Deco styling and expansive flat roofs. The development of Wick Hall is built around two crescents which have space to park using a residents’ permit. These encapsulate immaculate lawns and mature trees inherited from the grand home which stood here previously.

This apartment sits on the third floor of facing south over the city towards the coast. From its elevated position, it enjoys charming leafy views from its new double-glazed windows which bring in a huge amount of natural light.

An entry phone system provides access into the immaculate foyer where Terrazzo tiled stairs or a lift take you to the third floor. From here your door is along the well-lit hallway opening to a gloriously wide entrance hall running left and right with all rooms ahead to take full advantage of the southerly aspect.

At the far end of the hall, the sitting room is generous in size offering 183 sq. ft. of space for socialising, dining and relaxing on comfortable furnishings. During the warmer weather, you can spill outside to the balcony for drinks and dinner alfresco as the sun sets over the trees. Next door, the kitchen is also spacious – indeed, some residents have chosen to open these rooms to create a large social, open plan space. Planning and permissions would be required, but the precedence has been set. As it stands, the kitchen is hugely attractive with sage Shaker cabinetry, wood laminate worktops and an integrated oven and gas hob, leaving space for a washing machine and fridge.

Bedroom two is a lovely double room with space for a king bed and freestanding furnishings, while the principal room is larger still with a built-in wardrobe, so floor space is never compromised. Between the two, so they don’t share a wall, sits the bathroom which is streamlined and modern with a shower over a P-shape bath allowing more elbow room when showering.

This generous apartment is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this home also offers easy access to both Brighton and Hove’s Stations which have direct and fast links to the universities, airports and London.
