Why you’ll like it:
Hovedene sits within a hugely popular area, characterised by wide tree-lined avenues and striking architecture, ranging from Victorian villas to contemporary builds. Hovedene is a Mid-century development giving it the clean lines of the era and large picture windows taking full advantage of the natural light and views. It holds a prime position within Hove, backing onto Sussex Country Cricket Ground to the south, so you can watch the glorious game or any one of the music events held there each year, from the comfort of your own home and balcony.
From the entrance lobby, it is clearly a well-maintained building with a tall lift awaiting to whisk you up to the top floor. Stepping inside, you are greeted into a wide and welcoming entrance hall with three deep cupboards to house coats, shoes and household items, ensuring the flat remains clutter free. Original parquet flooring has been retained below your feet, while your line of sight takes you through the flat to the incredible views enjoyed from the living room.
Within the main reception room, there is ample space for relaxation and formal dining both inside and out. The balcony runs across the width of the flat, so in summer, you can sit watching the game or simply basking in the sunshine while you eat. These views are ever changing with the seasons, watching the sun set over Worthing in the west, or stargazing at night.
Next door, the kitchen has been modernised with white handle-free cabinetry paired with solid oak worktops. There is a wealth of storage at both base and eye levels alongside fully integrated appliances.
Sharing the same sunny views and balcony access as the living room, the bedroom is a lovely place to wake up each day. It is a generous double with built-in wardrobes and easy access to the bathroom next door. This is fresh in white with a shower over the bath.
While you have sole use of the sunny balcony, there are some communal gardens for the residents of Hovedene to use – spoilt for choice!
