Duplex Penthouse Somerhill Lodge

Luxury three bedroom modern duplex penthouse with stunning sea views from a large multi-aspect terrace balcony. Open plan layout, lift access and two garages.

Situated in central Hove, with an approx. 530m walk to the seafront, this contemporary two-floor apartment offers light and spacious living throughout. Benefiting from the verdant tree-lined roads of Hove and peaceful gardens of St Anne’s Well whilst close by is Western Road, with all its amenities.

On entering the apartment, the large and welcoming hallway guides you to a light and spacious sitting room. This is a fabulous area for hosting, with bi-folding doors extending any occasion to the terrace. A glorious light from the Southwest aspect fills the room and the warm tones of the engineered wood flooring draw the eye to the sea and Victorian terrace rooftops to the South and the spire of St. John’s Church to the West. A beautifully appointed sunroom beyond the sitting room is a wonderful retreat for cooler days and a perfect space for unwinding with a good book.

From the sitting room you can enter the open plan kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is fitted with sleek gloss handleless stone colour cabinetry offset by slate grey statement walls and floor tiles. It poses both function and style. Quality inbuilt AEG dual ovens and microwave create space saving design, allowing for plenty of storage and work top area. Dining here is a delightful experience being complemented by views over the terrace of the ever-changing sea and sky.

Adjacent to the house bathroom, two of the three bedrooms are located on the ground floor, each having access to the East section of the roof terrace, and with plenty of space for storage. The larger of the two has its own ensuite bathroom with whirlpool bath and decorated with a striking statement aquarium wallpaper designed by Harlequin. Equally stylish Nina Campbell is reflected in the bedroom.

Ascending the stairs from the sitting room, the primary bedroom suite is an exceptional room of style, size and proportion. Engineered wood flooring in subtle hues, underfloor heating and shimmering Zoffany wallpaper create a perfect and harmonious space away from the hubbub below with wonderful views down the wide avenue to the sea. A dedicated walk-in dressing room offers built-in storage and 6 metres of wardrobe hanging space leading to a modern and airy ensuite shower room.

With multiple access points, the wraparound roof terrace is certain to give the wow factor. Its predominantly South, Southwest and West facing aspects are accessed from the living room, sunroom and dining area whilst the Eastern section is accessed from the two bedrooms. Space for alfresco dining, relaxing on loungers or just taking in the views of the sea, the rooftops and the South Downs beyond.

Two garages, including one double.

Located in the heart of Hove, the seafront, and the green open spaces of Hove Lawns, Palmeira Square, Brunswick Square and St. Ann’s Well Gardens are only a short walk from your door.

Offering everything from high street and independent stores to the French pastries of Real Patisserie, everything you need is right on your doorstep.
