Description

Nestled within the historically charming Gwydyr Mansions, a distinguished period building from 1890, this lower ground floor studio apartment stands as a promising canvas for both first-time buyers and investors alike. The apartment boasts a spacious studio room approximately measuring 18'1 x 12'9, bathed in natural light thanks to a sizable bay window that adds character to the space. While the interior requires some modernization, this presents an ideal opportunity for renovation, allowing future residents to tailor the apartment to their personal taste and potentially increase its market value. Situated in the highly desirable Brunswick Town Conservation Area, this property benefits from access to meticulously maintained west-facing communal gardens—a serene oasis amidst the bustling environment just moments away from Hove's vibrant center. The surrounding area features a diverse array of independent shops, cafés, and restaurants, with Palmeira Square located conveniently across the road. Additionally, the picturesque seafront and Hove Lawns are merely a short walk away, making it easy to enjoy coastal living. Accessibility is another key advantage of this location; Hove Station is approximately 0.9 miles away, providing direct rail connections to London and other destinations. The neighborhood is also home to well-regarded educational institutions like Hove Juniors, Brunswick Primary School, Cardinal Newman High School, and Blatchington Mill School—further enhancing its appeal for families. This studio apartment offers not only proximity to local amenities but also potential for significant growth through renovation efforts. With the city center shopping districts and parks easily accessible nearby—and convenient transport links via the A23/A27 leading to airports and universities—this property represents a unique investment opportunity in a sought-after locale.
