Description

Hova Villas is situated in a sought-after central location in Hove, just off the vibrant Church Road, which is lined with an array of independent shops, cafés, and restaurants. Residents will appreciate the proximity to Hove Lawns and the seafront, perfect for leisurely strolls along the beach. The property is conveniently located near Hove mainline station, offering regular rail services to London and surrounding areas, making it an attractive option for commuters. This versatile period property presents a unique opportunity for buyers, whether as a family home or a home-and-income arrangement. The raised ground floor features its own entrance and opens into a welcoming hall, leading to a spacious dual-aspect lounge and dining room that provides ample natural light. The rear kitchen includes a charming oriel window and offers direct access to the outdoor space. On the half landing, there is a bathroom and separate shower room, along with two bedrooms located on the first floor. The lower ground floor can be accessed independently and currently serves as a self-contained flat, complete with a well-equipped kitchen, a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and a bay-fronted lounge that overlooks the front of the property. This bedroom also enjoys direct access to a private patio garden, with further access to the main garden beyond. Gated access runs alongside the house to the rear gardens, providing additional convenience. This property offers exciting potential for reconfiguration, subject to necessary consents, to create a substantial family home while also allowing for modernisation. Alternatively, the existing arrangement provides an attractive home-and-income opportunity, with the lower ground flat currently tenanted but available for continued occupancy if desired.

Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Hova Villas presents a unique opportunity to acquire a versatile period property in a desirable central Hove location, and the asking price of £750,000 is notably cheap compared to the local average of £526/sqf. This property offers significant potential for those looking to invest in a renovation project, with a projected renovation budget of £100,000 to £200,000 to transform its dated interiors into a modern family home or an attractive home-and-income arrangement.

While the interiors show general wear and are in need of significant refurbishment, the property benefits from a spacious layout with dual-aspect living areas and the potential for reconfiguration. The lower ground floor currently functions as a self-contained flat, providing an enticing opportunity for rental income. The garden space also adds to the appeal, allowing prospective buyers to envision outdoor improvements. With its prime location near local amenities and the seafront, Hova Villas is a promising project for those willing to take on the challenge of a full-gut programme and modernise this characterful home.

Key opportunities

  • Versatile layout allows for reconfiguration into a substantial family home or home-and-income arrangement.
  • Potential for modernisation to significantly enhance the property's value and appeal.
  • Opportunity to improve outdoor spaces and create a desirable garden area.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • Dated interior requiring significant refurbishment, including potential replacement of single-glazed windows.
