About this property

Brilliantly located within The Avenues Conservation Area, amidst everything this vibrant coastal city has to offer, this one-bedroom apartment provides the perfect opportunity to grab a slice of the quintessential Brighton & Hove lifestyle.

Rising several storeys and adorned with beautiful Victorian architectural detailing, the impressive villas of First Avenue create one of Hove's most distinguished streets, stretching from Church Road down to the seafront. Despite their central location, they enjoy a surprisingly peaceful setting, with mature trees and well-established gardens providing a sense of privacy and tranquillity.
