Description
An exceptional freehold development opportunity occupying approximately 0.17 acres (0.0699 hectares) in one of Hove's most desirable residential settings.
The site benefits from implemented full planning permission (Ref: BH2023/02136) for the demolition of the former dwelling and the construction of an attractive three-storey apartment building with a roof-level penthouse, comprising seven private residential apartments. The approved scheme includes four two-bedroom apartments and three three-bedroom apartments, extending to a total net saleable area of approximately 541 sq m (5,823 sq ft), together with associated parking, cycle storage and landscaping.
Planning permission has been implemented through the demolition of the existing property and commencement of the foundations.
The site is offered freehold with vacant possession, presenting an outstanding opportunity for developers seeking a well-progressed residential scheme in a prime Hove location.
Situation
Located on The Droveway, one of Hove's most prestigious tree-lined residential avenues, the site enjoys an enviable position within an established and highly sought-after neighbourhood renowned for its elegant period homes and strong residential appeal.
Residents will benefit from easy access to the vibrant cafés, independent boutiques and restaurants of Church Road, George Street and Portland Road, while Brighton's renowned North Laine district is just a short journey away. Hove's seafront, promenade and lawns are within easy reach, alongside the expansive green spaces of Hove Park, offering excellent recreational amenities.
The location is exceptionally well connected, with Hove, Preston Park and Aldrington railway stations all nearby, providing regular direct services to London Victoria, London Bridge and Gatwick Airport. Excellent road links via the A23 and A27 offer convenient access across the South East, making this an attractive location for commuters and future occupiers alike.
