Mermaid Cottage, Hove, East Sussex, BN3 (SL410)

A charming 1830s cottage with a beautifully renovated interior and a warm, characterful feel throughout. Originally built around 1835 for teachers at the nearby Victorian school, the property has since been thoughtfully updated while retaining its period charm.

The cottage is arranged over three floors. Entry is through the lounge, a cosy and welcoming space that leads through to the kitchen, with a separate sink and utility area beyond. The first floor includes a spare bedroom, currently also used as a desk space, along with a stylish bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and freestanding bath.

The top floor is dedicated to the main bedroom, creating a quiet and private space at the top of the house. Both bedrooms are dual aspect, bringing in natural light from more than one direction and adding to the cottage’s bright, airy feel.

With its historic background, carefully renovated interiors and compact yet well-planned layout, the cottage has a relaxed, lived-in quality with plenty of character.
