The luxury Art Deco apartments of Wick Hall have retained their upmarket status since being built in 1936. They sit on a quiet road close to the sea, the city and St. Ann’s Well Gardens, so they enjoy the best of all worlds with so much to explore on foot. This sizable two-bedroom apartment resides on the top floor giving it far-reaching views across the historic landscape, down to the sea. These views can be enjoyed from inside, but also from the private balcony which becomes a summer extension of the home.

This apartment also boasts unallocated off-street parking and two communal gardens which are impeccably kept by the gardener. The interior has been renovated and well-maintained by the current owners and has a homely feel with wool carpets throughout and freshly decorated walls so you can move straight in with ease.

As one of the city’s most attractive apartment buildings, Wick Hall and neighbouring Furze Croft were completed in 1936 (the same year as the Queen Mary was launched) and have been compared to ocean liners with their attractive and linear Deco styling and expansive flat roofs. The development of Wick Hall is built around two crescents which have space to park using a residents’ permit. These encapsulate immaculate lawns and mature trees inherited from the grand home which stood here previously.

An entry phone system provides access into the immaculate foyer where Terrazzo tiled stairs or a lift whisk you to the upper levels. From here your door is along the well-lit hallway and opens into a gloriously wide entrance hall where the scale of the flat is immediately apparent. From here, your line of sight takes you through the depth of the flat to the living room at the far end, while the bedrooms are peacefully placed on this side; away from the main living areas.

Fine quality fawn carpets flow from here and into the principal rooms while the walls predominantly have a fresh, neutral palette which brightens the space further.

Both double bedrooms are sizable doubles; one with a feature wall in block colour for a modern touch, while large picture windows bring nature inside. These rooms have ample space for king size beds and several pieces of freestanding bedroom furnishings, yet built-in wardrobes also maximise the floor space. Vintage-style radiators warm each room perfectly during the winter and the peaceful position within the city ensures you will always enjoy a restful night’s sleep.

Easily accessible from both rooms, the bathroom was renovated in recent years creating a contemporary room with patterned floor tiles and space for a bath with rainfall shower over it.

Moving through the apartment, the kitchen is next on the left and is galley style with streamlined, handle-free cabinetry in navy at both base and wall levels. These are paired with white slimline stone worktops with integrated appliances below, so you can move straight in with relative ease. A hatch opens up to the dining area within the living room, although many properties in the building choose to open these rooms, even partially, to create one bright and sociable space – certainly worth thinking about.

Stepping into the generous living room and dining room, natural light streams in from the southerly wall where a glazed door with side windows leads out to the balcony. It is a glorious space which invites entertaining, offering clearly defined areas for relaxation and formal dining and an open fire can add atmosphere to wintery evenings – although having not been lit for a while, it will need professional investigation before lighting.

Outside, the views are sensational, lighting up with the colours of sunrise and sunset, but also with the twinkling stars and lights of the city at night. High above regency Hove, you can see the i360 rising head and shoulders above the rest, reminding you just how close to the coast you are here.

Vendor’s Comments:

“We have loved our time here as the apartment is incredibly spacious and peaceful – it really is hard to believe you are so close to the city. The close proximity to the beach, station and parks has been wonderful though – and there is a lovely community of residents here. We are looking to move out of the city slightly to a house, but we have been spoilt with space here, which is hard to replicate elsewhere.”

Good To Know:

Beautifully spacious and bright – these are prestigious apartments where the residents feel safe and well-catered for by the on-site staff. There is a sense of community with families and residents of all ages who appreciate the highly favoured location with the city and the sea on your doorstep.

Although this property sits peacefully tucked away from the hubbub of the city, you are still incredibly well-connected with excellent transport links include both Brighton Mainline and Hove Stations. There is also a porter to collect your refuse, and the heating and hot water are centralised, so they are part of the maintenance rather than billed. With a fantastic sense of community and ‘outstanding’ schools nearby, this flat would be perfect for commuters, professional sharers, families and investors alike!
