For Sale3 Bedroom Flat in Waterloo Street, Hove, BN3£1,365,000

Waterloo Street, named to commemorate the great battle of 1815, was originally developed as modest homes for the coachmen and associated staff serving the grand houses in the square. Today, this exceptional Grade II listed Georgian end of terrace maisonette has been beautifully upgraded and is arranged over three floors with the additional benefit of a private roof terrace, positioned in the very heart of the city. The stuccoed façade is classically elegant, with bow fronted bays and tall sash windows that give the building a wonderful sense of scale and presence. Internally, the home offers generous Georgian proportions and notably high ceilings, with an immaculate level of finish throughout. Period inspired detailing has been thoughtfully incorporated, including gilded cornicing to the principal rooms, selected Sherle Wagner Louis XVI door knobs, Stephenson’s of Norwich ceiling roses and chandelier fittings. The property is approached via its own private entrance, opening into a stairwell leading up to a first floor landing with coat storage. The design makes clever use of the building’s shape, with the side elevation cutting in to create additional windows and draw natural light into the centre of the home. The main reception space sits to the front of the house, where tall pocket sash windows open onto the front balcony and frame sea views. A Chesneys marble fireplace with gas fire provides an elegant focal point, topped by a gilded Overmantles mirror. The living area opens to the dining room, creating a superb arrangement for both day to day living and entertaining. The sitting room, dining room and landing are all finished with light wood flooring laid in Versailles panels. To the rear, the kitchen is well equipped and thoughtfully finished, with a good range of fitted wooden cabinetry painted in cream, complemented by Oxford blue tiling and two exquisite Delft tiled panels. Granite stone composite worktops provide a durable finish, and integrated appliances include a gas fired Rangemaster stove, dishwasher, fridge freezer and an additional fridge. Underfloor heating provides further comfort. On the second floor, a luxurious bathroom lies to the rear, with Portman cabinetry including a white wood vanity with marble top, a walk in shower, underfloor heating and excellent storage. A separate laundry closet sits to the side, with space and plumbing for a full sized washing machine and tumble dryer. The larger of the two bedrooms on this floor is generously proportioned. Sitting at the front of the property, finished with fitted wardrobes, a bay window and a stone Chesneys fireplace. The second bedroom is currently arranged as a study, offering excellent flexibility for home working or guest accommodation. The third floor is dedicated to the principal suite.

A separate bathroom provides further wardrobe and linen storage and is beautifully appointed with a white wood, marble topped vanity unit, a recessed free standing oval bath with drencher shower over, underfloor heating and plantation shutters to the west facing window.
