This striking 1,462 sq ft four-storey townhouse is part of the celebrated conversion of the former Maynards Sweet Factory, an iconic red-brick building dating back to 1902. Converted by John Kerr Associates in 2002 into just seven bespoke homes, the development blends historic industrial architecture with contemporary design, featuring exposed brick walls, steel-framed windows, vaulted ceilings and exceptional natural light.
The accommodation is arranged across four floors and finished to an excellent specification. The ground floor offers a versatile sitting room extending over 32 ft, with the flexibility to create a study or additional bedroom if desired. On the first floor, two well-proportioned bedrooms are served by both a family bathroom and an en suite shower room, stylishly refurbished in 2024.
The second floor forms the heart of the home with an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. Here, original brickwork, arched factory windows and lofty proportions combine to create a dramatic yet comfortable setting for modern living and entertaining.
On the top floor, a further sitting area opens via full-height glazed doors onto a private roof terrace, with far-reaching views across the rooftops of Hove and out to sea.
Externally, the rear garden has been redesigned into a lush, low-maintenance retreat with tropical planting, tiled paving and a versatile garden studio. The studio is fully powered and hardwired with internet connection, making it perfect as a home office, gym or creative workspace.
Further highlights include Lutron lighting throughout and a share of freehold interest within this boutique development.
