Waterloo Street, Hove, East Sussex BN3

An elegant Grade II listed Georgian maisonette in the heart of the city.

Description
7 Waterloo Street is a stunning Grade II listed Georgian end-of-terrace maisonette, arranged over three floors with a roof terrace and situated in the heart of the City - just two minutes’ walk of Hove’s sea front and ideally positioned for the city centre’s bars, restaurants and culture.

The property is believed to date from 1827, and offers beautifully presented accommodation arranged over three floors, with the additional benefit of a roof terrace.

The property impresses from the outset, with an elegant stuccoed exterior, with bow fronted bays and tall sash windows. Its front door has flanking side pilasters with a classic black gloss front door with brass fittings; and the shared entrance foyer sets the scene with brass and glass chandeliers. Inside, it offers soaring ceilings and generous proportions; the rooms have been superbly finished and features of note include gilded cornicing to the principal rooms, some Sherle Wagner Louis XVI doorknobs, Stephenson’s of Norwich ceiling roses, chandelier fittings to most rooms, and custom made window treatments in silk, cotton, linen or wool. All wool curtains are interlined for warmth and fully lined, and additionally most windows in the house are fitted with uv protection roller blinds.

The maisonette’s private entrance door opens to a stairwell, leading up to the landing which has storage for coats; the property has been cleverly designed with the side of building cutting in to allow for more windows, bringing light to the centre of the house.

At the rear, the kitchen is well-equipped with a good range of fitted wood cabinets painted in pale cream, counterpointed by dark blue tiling and two exquisite Delft tiled panels. Worktops are granite stone composite, and appliances include a gas-fired Rangemaster stove, a dishwasher, a fridge/freezer and a further fridge, and the kitchen has underfloor heating. There is a brass plate gallery over the cabinets.

The sitting room is situated at the front of the house, and has tall pocket sash windows which open up to allow access to the front balcony and its sea views. There is a Chesneys marble fireplace with a gas fire and a gilded mirror by Overmantles above. The sitting room is open to the dining room, creating an excellent space for entertaining. The sitting room, dining room and landing all feature light wood flooring, with Versailles panels.

At the rear of the second floor is a luxury bathroom, with cabinetry by Portman including a white wood vanity with marble top, a walk-in shower and underfloor heating. At the side is a laundry closet, with space and plumbing for a full washing machine and tumble dryer.

There are two bedrooms on the second floor: At the front of the property is a spacious bedroom with fitted wardrobes, bay window and a stone Chesneys fireplace. The second bedroom is currently used as a study.

The principal suite occupies the third floor. The bedroom is at the front of the house, and has an elegant bow window, the original fireplace and a good range of fitted wardrobes. The separate bathroom offers further wardrobe and linen storage space, and is beautifully fitted with a white wood, marble topped vanity unit, recessed free standing oval bath with a drencher shower over, underfloor heating and plantation shutters to the west facing window.

The maisonette has the benefit of a roof terrace, accessed via French doors at the rear of the third floor; it has fitted outside furniture and built in planters with an irrigation system, and offers a private haven to enjoy the outside, away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
