Belle Vue Penthouse is an exceptional, two-bedroom apartment, at No. 2 Grand Drive, Hove, which is a fine, detached property constructed in the late 19th Century as part of what was then known as the West Blatchington Estate. The building has an impressive communal entrance and a lift to all floors.

The reception spaces of the apartment are open-plan, arranged into living, dining and kitchen zones, in one superb room, which is over seven metres long. There is a huge bay, of west-facing windows, four metres wide, from where there are views of the sea, and from where Brighton's spectacular sunsets can be enjoyed. There is also a porthole-style window on the south wall which charmingly frames a view of the sea horizon. The kitchen is arranged along one wall, where appliances include a Neff four-burner gas hob and a Neff electric fan oven, a Neff integrated microwave and space for a full-height fridge freezer. The entire kitchen area can be concealed behind shutters, which are electronically controlled.

The front door to the apartment opens to a central hall where there is a coat cupboard and a further large storage cupboard with shelving. The reception room, principal bedroom and the bathroom are all accessed from the hall. In the principal bedroom there is a three metre high vaulted ceiling and one entire wall of fitted wardrobes.

The luxury bathroom has a corner jacuzzi bath as well as a separate walk-in shower with a Hansgrohe thermostatic shower, with fixed waterfall shower head; a Villeroy and Boch handbasin set in a wall-hung vanity basin with a waterfall tap and a Villeroy and Boch WC. The second bedroom is at the front of the property and is also a good size, with a west-facing window.

Grand Avenue falls within The Avenues conservation area of Hove, and lives up to its name; a grand, exceptionally wide, tree-lined avenue, with views of the sea at its southern end and flanked on the eastern side, where this property is located, by a lawn that separates the properties from the main road. Moments from the beach and Hove Lawns, but also close to Church Road with its bustling community of restaurants, cafés and independent shops. Hove Station is a short walk, and buses on Church Road run regularly into the city centre.
