Viceroy Lodge, 143 Kingsway, Hove, East Sussex, BN3 4RB

With easy access on the ground floor of a Deco seafront development, this sweet one-bedroom apartment enjoys calming views over communal gardens. It is smart with a neutral décor, yet there is plenty of scope for modernisations and personalisation to add value. The communal garden is easy to access offering a large, manicured space with a westerly aspect allowing you to bask in the summer sunshine as it sets in the evening.

The beach and Hove Lawns are literally a stone’s throw away and you are well located for Hove Station and the cosmopolitan shops, bars and restaurants of Church Road too, so it would be perfect for commuters, professionals and investors looking to buy into the quintessential Hove lifestyle by the sea.

Why you’ll like it: You can hear the rush of the waves and the calling of the gulls as you approach Viceroy Lodge which holds a corner position overlooking the promenade and sea. As with many seafront Deco buildings, it has the appearance of an ocean liner with clean, horizontal lines and ample glazing. You access this apartment from the side entrance on Hove Street where a tiled corridor leads to your door.

You enter first into a wide entrance hall bearing the original parquet flooring in warm honeyed tones. Two deep storage cupboards have space for hanging coats and storing household items to ensure the flat remains clutter free.

First to the right, the living room is airy and bright with a westerly window framing leafy garden views, ever changing with the seasons. These are a joy to look out to from both sofas and the dining table which can sit below the window. There is ample space for comfortable furnishings, and it is versatile to suit all styles and layouts.

Conveniently next door, the kitchen has been well designed for the space, benefitting from an integrated oven and hob alongside space for freestanding appliances and an additional spacious storage room in a large rear larder. Once again, you can look out over the garden as you wash up.

Mirroring the living room, the bedroom is a lovely double room with garden views and built-in wardrobes which maximise the floor space. White walls and dark grey carpets offer a blank canvas for new owners who can add several pieces of freestanding bedroom furnishings.

Set to lawn with beautiful borders, the communal garden is a treat for the senses and is large enough for several residents to enjoy at once. There are areas to dine alfresco or to have gatherings, and you can sit out here in the last of the summer sunshine where the beach feels too busy during high season.
