About this home
This stunning five-bedroom mansion apartment, full of character, occupies the first floor of a distinguished detached Victorian building. Located on the highly sought-after The Drive, it offers easy access to local amenities and the seafront. This residence is a true historical gem, thought to be the first purpose-built block in Hove.
Spanning just under 2,400 square feet, this remarkable apartment has much to offer. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a grand entrance hallway, setting the tone for the rest of the home. Featuring four spacious double bedrooms, a separate study, and a large kitchen/breakfast room, this exquisite period apartment is a must-see.
Set within a striking red-brick Victorian building, the apartment combines contemporary design with many original features dating back to 1898. Allegedly once used as guest accommodations for visitors attending events at the Royal Pavilion, this architectural masterpiece showcases the Jacobean Revival style, complete with a castellated tower, turrets, and mullioned windows.
Hove is a vibrant area, home to artisan bakeries, independent cafés, and a diverse range of restaurants. Nearby, pedestrianized George Street continues this lively vibe with its bustling pavement café culture. The wide promenade of Hove is just a short walk away, ensuring you’re never far from the sea breeze. For those traveling, Hove mainline station is just 0.5 miles away, offering direct trains to London.
