Occupying the lower ground floor of an elegant period building on one of central Hove’s most attractive residential roads, this beautifully proportioned garden apartment offers an uncommon sense of privacy, space and versatility. 

Steps descend to the front courtyard garden and private entrance, establishing an immediate sense of separation from the street above, while front and rear outside spaces reinforce the property’s unusual privacy and independence, quietly self-contained and thoughtfully arranged throughout.

You enter into the kitchen which has been fitted in a timeless shaker style, finished in soft grey tones with marble-effect worktops and integrated appliances. Practicality has been carefully considered here, with a separate utility room alongside two additional ancillary rooms – flexible spaces that work equally well as a home office, dressing room, studio, wellness room or substantial additional storage.

A broad central hallway runs through the apartment and adds to the sense of volume, offering a natural place for bookshelves, artwork or a dedicated work-from-home setting.

To the rear, the principal reception room is particularly impressive. Generous in scale and filled with natural light from the large bay window, it looks directly onto the garden and retains elegant period detailing including a decorative ceiling rose and feature fireplace. The result is a room that feels both calm and substantial, equally suited to entertaining or quieter everyday living.

The rear garden is a genuine rarity for this style of home – notably larger than expected and designed with ease in mind, combining lawn with a decked seating terrace positioned to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.

The principal bedroom sits at the front overlooking the private courtyard and is served by a contemporary en-suite shower room. The second bedroom enjoys a quieter rear aspect over the garden and lends itself equally well to guest accommodation, a refined study or a second double bedroom depending on need.

A separate bathroom, beautifully simple in design and fitted with a full bath, completes the accommodation.

The area

Cromwell Road is one of Hove’s most established and sought-after addresses – a wide, tree-lined road characterised by handsome period architecture and an easy, residential feel.

Positioned in the very centre of Hove, the property is moments from Church Road, George Street and Blatchington Road, where independent cafés, restaurants, everyday amenities and some of the city’s best local shopping are all within easy reach.

The seafront lies a short walk to the south, while central Brighton is close enough to reach on foot or by bicycle, making this one of those locations that consistently appeals for the convenience of having everything nearby without sacrificing the quieter character Hove is known for.

Transport links

Hove Station is within comfortable walking distance, providing regular direct services into Brighton, Gatwick Airport and London Victoria/London Bridge, making the property particularly well placed for both local travel and London commuting.

Frequent bus services operate close by, offering quick connections across Hove, Brighton and the surrounding coastal areas.

For motorists, the A23 and A27 are easily accessible, linking efficiently to Gatwick, London and the wider Sussex road networks. On street permit-holder parking is available outside the property in zone O.
