Flat 6 13-14 Kings Gardens | Hove | East Sussex
Seller Insight “When we first walked into this apartment it was the view and the enormousness of the living room that we fell in love with. It was easy to imagine the lifestyle that it offered. My favourite place to spend time when I’m at home is sitting in the window seat in the living room watching the view or having a drink on the balcony in the evening. It’s lovely to watch he day unfold in front of you. Our grandchildren have loved spending time here while they’ve been at university and we’ve celebrated their graduations with drinks on the balcony. It’s one of the few properties in Hove that has a south-facing walk-out balcony that you can fit a sun lounger on. I’ll really miss the space of the living room and the view. It’s been such a lovely, lovely place to live.”
