Sackville Gardens is one of the widest roads leading down to the sea in Central Hove giving it an air of grandeur. At the southern end you can see the concertina roofs of the city s iconic beach huts in classic Brighton Blue against the sea and skyscapes beyond, reminding you just how close to the coast this property is.

This airy and spacious maisonette sits within a striking double fronted semi detached house with a traditionally tiled path leading to the main door. The front gardens are well maintained, as are the communal ways where stairs lead up to your door on the first floor.

Stepping inside, the scale of the building is immediately apparent as the ceilings soar and natural light streams into the entrance hall from the kitchen ahead and the living room to the right. In here, light grey carpets and fresh white walls create a blank canvas for new owners and the original cornicing, picture rails and deep skirtings have been retained. Taking centre stage, the period fireplace has colourful inset tiles and a wooden mantel in white. While this room is currently dressed as a bedroom, it has ample space for comfortable sofas, chairs and for formal dining alongside two tall sash windows looking out over green and leafy neighbouring gardens.

Across the hall, a second reception room is versatile as a bedroom, dining room or generous home office. It shares the same high ceilings as the living room and has easy access to the contemporary shower room next door.

Streamlined handle free cabinets runs along either wall in the kitchen offering a huge amount of storage alongside integrated appliances to include a fridge freezer, fan oven, 5 ring gas hob with extractor fan, a washing machine and a dishwasher. A door opens to aJuliet balcony from here, allowing the westerly afternoon light and a cool coastal breeze to flow through the apartment during summer.

Upstairs, there are two further double bedrooms on the top floor built in to the roof. The scale of the building ensures the vaulted ceilings remain high up here, so headroom is not compromised in the slightest, and both rooms are large doubles. They share use of a glamorous Jack and Jill bathroom with a contemporary bathtub, dual basins with vanity units below and a separate shower form when time is of the essence. The principal bedroom also has access to a walk in wardrobe and there is a huge amount of storage in the eaves. With double glazed windows and a top floor position, these tranquil rooms ensure a truly restful night s sleep.

This is a sunny and spacious maisonette sits in a popular location which is well served for shops, the beach, parks and schools. There are plenty of local green spaces, and great transport links, but you are also only a short walk from everything this vibrant coastal city has to offer. The A23, Aldrington and Hove Stations are also within easy reach, for those requiring fast links to Gatwick or London on a daily or weekly basis."
