Taylor Michael are delighted to introduce this exceptionally spacious and characterful one-bedroom ground floor apartment, positioned within an attractive period building on the highly sought-after The Drive in central Hove. Offering approximately 731 sq ft of accommodation including the mezzanine areas, the property combines impressive period proportions with a stylish contemporary finish, creating a home that feels considerably larger and more individual than a typical one-bedroom apartment.
The centrepiece of the property is the superb open-plan living and dining room, extending to approximately 26’2″ x 16’8″ and providing an excellent amount of space for both relaxing and entertaining. Impressive high ceilings and tall windows enhance the feeling of space and allow plenty of natural light into the room, while the exposed brickwork creates a striking feature throughout. Wooden flooring, modern lighting and contemporary furnishings complement the character of the building and give the apartment a distinctive finish.
Positioned just off the main living space is the modern fitted kitchen, which has been thoughtfully designed to maximise the available space. The kitchen provides a good range of fitted units, worktop space and integrated cooking facilities, while continuing the attractive combination of exposed brickwork and contemporary finishes found throughout the apartment. A further small mezzanine area sits above the kitchen, providing extremely useful additional storage without compromising the main living accommodation.
One of the property’s most distinctive features is the large mezzanine bedroom level, accessed via stairs from the main living area. Measuring approximately 16’5″ x 8’10”, this provides a generous and clearly defined sleeping area while retaining the open and spacious feel of the apartment. The elevated arrangement makes excellent use of the property’s impressive ceiling height and separates the bedroom space from the principal reception area without losing the character and openness that makes the apartment so unique.
The accommodation is completed by a modern bathroom, conveniently positioned on the ground floor and fitted with a contemporary suite. Throughout the property, the combination of high ceilings, exposed brick walls, large windows, modern light fittings and carefully considered finishes creates an impressive balance between period character and modern living. The sheer scale of the main reception space also provides plenty of flexibility for a tenant to create separate living, dining and home-working areas.
Situated on The Drive in the heart of Hove, the apartment is exceptionally well positioned for access to the wide range of shops, cafés, restaurants and amenities available throughout central Hove, with Church Road and the surrounding area within easy reach. Hove Station provides convenient rail connections, while the seafront is also readily accessible. With its generous proportions, distinctive mezzanine arrangement and excellent central location, this is a particularly impressive one-bedroom home and early viewing is highly recommended.
