Description

Famed for its striking architecture and rich local history, Palmeira Square remains one of the most sought after addresses in the city. This generous apartment is formed from the entire lower ground floor of a west facing townhouse, so it bears the wonderful proportions of the period and is incredibly spacious at over 1670 sq. ft. It has two very large en suite double bedrooms, ideal for professional sharers or families, and there is access to two outside areas to include a central courtyard and a sunny, walled rear garden. It has been well-maintained by the current owners to ensure the period character of the property has been retained, using heritage colours on the walls alongside contemporary touches, ready to move straight into.

Stepping out to the communal gardens of the square, you are surrounded by tall trees and greenery, yet Hove Lawns and Beach are also visible, and you are in the middle of the vibrant social centres of both Western and Church Roads. Hove Station is easy to reach on foot, and buses stop at the top of the road to take you throughout the city and beyond. With so many positive attributes, this apartment will appeal to professionals, investors and families alike, all looking to live the quintessential Hove lifestyle by the sea.

The grand homes of Palmeira Square are undoubtedly some of the finest examples of Regency architecture on the South Coast. Since their inception in 1850, they have continued to attract people to the city with their Grade II listed Italianate facades, with Tuscan columns below grand portico entrances. At the time they were compared to the impressive terraces of London’s Hyde Park; putting Brighton firmly on the map as the most desirable place to live outside the capital.

Sitting midway down the easterly wing of the square, this apartment is approached down a few stone steps to where it has its own street entrance. There is outside storage for bikes etc, and the front patio area can be decorated to create a lovely backdrop from inside. Stepping first into a vestibule, there is a vast amount of storage for coats, shoes and household items – a theme which runs throughout each room in this generous apartment.

From here you enter a long corridor running through the depth of the apartment, so the scale of the property becomes apparent. It is exceptionally spacious and naturally light as it feels only partially lower ground at the rear, and the central courtyard allows light to filter in centrally. Pale ochre walls are paired with light wood flooring, and the woodwork is picked out in white. Along the southern side, there is further deep storage and built-in bookshelves, plus a separate WC – ideal for guests.

To the front of the building is the principal bedroom which is so large it allows for a king size bed, seating area, workspace and freestanding bedroom furnishings without compromising on floor space. It is private from the street, yet natural light can stream in through tall sash windows running along the westerly wall. The décor is fresh and airy, while the en suite shower room feels contemporary with metro brick tiling and streamlined fittings.

Bedroom two sits next door looking out over the central courtyard. It is also a generous double room with restful decoration and built-in wardrobes to maximise the space. It too enjoys access to a chic shower room with stylish wall and floor tiles and a luxurious finish.

At the far end of the hall, the living room echoes the size and shape of the principal bedroom, creating ample space for both comfortable seating and a formal dining area. A reclaimed period fireplace is fitted with an electric stove for warmth and atmosphere during the cooler seasons, while in summer, the doors can be opened to link the room with the garden which becomes an extension of the home when entertaining.

Adjoining the living room, the kitchen has been well designed for the space to include a vast amount of storage in streamlined, handle-free cabinetry, leaving space for a freestanding washing machine, dishwasher, cooker and fridge.

Steps lead up to the rear garden which is a fine size for summer barbecues and gatherings, with space to dine alfresco. It is perfectly low maintenance, yet there are flower beds to add some colour or scent during spring and summer. A modern summer house sits to the rear, ideal as a workspace, studio or gym, to be used all year round as it is well insulated with double glazed windows and doors.
