Description
Just adjacent to the sitting area is useful office space which accesses the double doors leading out onto the front balcony. Beyond is the dining area which overlooks the seafront via tall arched windows and a built-in window seat. The fully fitted kitchen houses a first-class range of integrated appliances, whilst granite countertops wrap around to form a breakfast bar. Cleverly concealed within the kitchen is access into a huge eaves space where there is plumbing for the washing machine, although more could be made of this as both a utility area and as storage.
Across the hallway are the two double bedrooms, both with built-in storage, but with the principal bedroom opening onto a large balcony/roof terrace and featuring its own stylish, fully tiled, en suite shower room. The generous family bathroom has a raised, full-size bath with overhead rainfall shower, alongside a sleek countertop basin and fitted cabinets.
Outside
Two private balconies offer great outdoor space, with the smaller front balcony having direct sea views, whilst the larger rear terrace looks out over the Avenues.
Situation
Kings Gardens is right on the Kingsway with views directly over the seafront and Hove Lawns, with only the road and the gardens separating the property from the beach., making it the ideal spot for seafront strolls, bike rides and dog walks, as well as sunning yourself on the beach.
The many bars, cafes and restaurants of Church Road are literally at the top of the road, with a vast array of shopping, restaurants, bars and cafes in Brighton city centre, accessible by bus or on foot just 2 miles along the seafront. Hove Station is just 1 mile away with fast and direct trains to London Victoria, London Bridge and Gatwick Airport. Local schooling options include Brighton Hove & Sussex Sixth Form College, Hove Junior School, Hove Park Secondary School and Sixth Form, Blatchington Mill Schools and Windlesham School and Nursery.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
