Flat for sale in Hove BN3, 2 Bedroom

Carmel House is a thriving and sociable retired community nestled in a quiet street in a friendly neighbourhood in Central Hove. It is a 500 yard stroll to the seafront and a shorter 200 yard walk to excellent Bus routes - as well as the shops, deli's, cafes and coffee shops of Portland Road.

There are many features and aspects to Carmel House and life for its residents that separates it from other retirement dwellings. Peace of mind and security are well catered for. The house has a part time warden / manager 5 mornings a week (non residential) and for 24 hour cover, rooms throughout have care-line alarms fitted. It is financially healthy & secure and overseen by the Carmel House Right To Manage company (which all residents are included in). It has a marvellous guest suite which can accommodate friends and family for just £15 a night! On site laundry facilities. Communal rooms with a library of books and dvd's. Fabulous secluded South facing gardens that are lovingly maintained. Plenty of social events, coffee mornings and get-togethers. Resident and Guest off street parking. Lots of storage in the flats but also in dedicated communal storage facilities. There is also a communal kitchen downstairs for those residents that like to have the option to cook outside their apartment as well as those who enjoy eating together.

The flat itself sits on the 4th / top floor and is accessed by a lift. It has lovely south and west facing aspects where spectacular sunsets can be taken in. As the building was built in 1986 it conforms to excellent build design standards. Notably the fire safety, sound insulation and heating efficiency are all to a high specification.

Both bedrooms are a good size and the whole flat is nice and cosy and warm. The kitchen is neatly spaced off the large dual aspect living room. Electric storage heating is only occasionally required as the flat exterior walls are south facing and it has a centrally heated corridor on the north perimeter.
