About this property

For sale by the Modern Method of Auction

Why is The Drive in Hove so wonderfully located and the most prestigious of addresses?

I hear you ask. Well, it's in the heart of central Hove and close to all amenities. Ideal for commuters and those who love being close to the seafront and Hove Lawns.

Hove's BN3 area was named as the most sought-after location in England and Wales for young professionals. The Drive is ideally located for all that Brighton and Hove has to offer. The bustling cafe culture, shops, bars and restaurants of Church Road are only a 2 minute walk away, and the green open spaces of both St Ann's Well Gardens and Hove Park are within easy reach, as is road access to the A27 and A23.

The agent hasn't said which band this home is in; you can look it up on GOV.UK. In Brighton and Hove, 2026/27 bills run from £1,720 a year in band A to £5,161 in band H.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across Brighton and Hove, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
