Location
Viceroy Lodge was built in the 1930s on the site formerly occupied by Hove College and still boasts communal ways with features in keeping with this era. Situated on the corner of Hove Street and The Kingsway, Hove seafront is on your doorstep and the amenities of Church Road, where you'll find an abundance of shops, bars and cafes, are all close by. Regular buses afford access to the rest of the city and beyond, and Hove train station is also nearby.
Accommodation
Approached at the south of the block, via a driveway on the corner of Kingsway and Hove street, the communal ways are very grand and reminiscent of the 1930's with wood panelled walls and Art Deco touches. Stairs and passenger lifts rise to the third floor.
Once inside the flat you'll be surprised by the impressive entrance hall with its generous proportions and ample built in storage, with doors to all principal rooms.
In need of modernisation, the flat enjoys a neutral colour scheme and carpets throughout, with lots of natural light since the flat spans the depth of this block to the east and west.
Accessed via full height multi-pane French doors, the dining room flows beautifully through to the spacious living room. Boasting fantastic sea views with direct access to the east facing balcony.
The property boasts three generous double bedrooms all with built in storage and neutral carpeting continued. The principal bedroom further enjoys an en-suite shower room with WC, and access to the second balcony at the rear, with pleasant views over the communal gardens. Bedroom three also has direct access to the west facing balcony and Bedroom two enjoys stunning direct sea views at the front of the block.
Of an irregular shape, the kitchen breakfast room, again is spacious and bright with ample room for a breakfast table and chairs, overlooking the manicured communal gardens. Comprising a comprehensive range of wall and base units, laminate work surface and tiled splash back with one and half bowl sink and drainer. There's a four ring gas hob with extractor over, a stacked double oven and space and provisions for free standing appliances.
The family bathroom has a low level panel enclosed bath for easy access with shower over, a close coupled WC and a sink and vanity unit with heated towel rail. The separate cloakroom resides next door.
In all, a flat in this location of these proportions has incredible potential to be a stunning seaside home.
