A "truly magnificent" seafront penthouse has gone on sale for more than £2 million.

The four-bedroom property, which occupies the top floor of the historic Kings House on Hove seafront, is being marketed for offers around £2.15 million.

Estate agents describe the apartment, in Grand Avenue, as enjoying what they consider an "unbeatable" panoramic sea view from its main living space, with the building overlooking Hove Lawns and the sea.

The penthouse forms part of Kings House, a Grade II-listed building which has stood on the seafront for almost 150 years.

The split-level home features four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a large open-plan kitchen and living area on the upper floor.

According to the listing, three bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, while the fourth room could also be used as a home office thanks to its broadband connection and multiple power points.

The flat also comes with a private rooftop terrace, offering outdoor space with sea views, and an allocated parking space within a gated underground car park.

Residents also benefit from bike storage, a private storage cupboard, concierge services and access to a residents' lounge.

The property is being sold with a share of the freehold and is offered to the market with no onward chain.
