Elegant, stylish and immaculately presented throughout, this stunning one-bedroom apartment is also located in the heart of the city. It sits elevated on the first floor of a contemporary apartment within easy walking distance of Brighton’s foodie scene and the beach, making it ideal for anyone looking to live the quintessential Brighton & Hove lifestyle by the sea. It is deceptively spacious with a generous open plan living room and kitchen for entertaining in style, and it is ultimately secure with unallocated, gated parking spaces, while the entire building is well-maintained by a full-time concierge and porter.

Why you’ll like it:
Sitting securely behind gates on Russell Mews, Russell House is an attractive and statuesque building of luxury apartments, peacefully tucked away from the hustle and bustle of both the seafront road and the city centre. Well-managed and maintained by a porter and concierge, the communal ways are immaculate and there are lifts to your floor where the apartment is clearly numbered.

From the moment you enter, it is immediately clear this is a stylish home, created by those with a refined eye for quality materials and modern interiors. Wood flooring and fresh white walls can be found throughout the hallway and the exceptional open plan living room, plus there is a deep storage cupboard by the entrance for household items, coats and shoes to ensure the flat remains clutter free. The entrance hall is capacious and welcoming with soothing lighting to greet you as you step foot through the door.

Ideal for entertaining or relaxation, the living room is vast at over 11m in length, and it is well-designed with zoned areas for dining, cooking and comfortable seating. The streamlined matt-cashmere kitchen has handle-free cabinetry providing a wealth of storage solutions alongside integrated appliances so you can cook a delicious meal each evening – although you will be tempted to eat-out most nights due to the exceptional array of restaurants within walking distance. Patterned splashback tiles add interest and shape to the space while stone worktops provide the final flourish of luxury. At the far end, charcoal framed doors open to a Juliet balcony, so you can allow the cool coastal breeze to flow through during the warmer seasons, while bringing in plenty of natural light.

Nearby, the bedroom is a sizable double with ample space for a king size bed and several pieces of freestanding bedroom furnishings without compromising on floor space. There is a comfortable amount of space for anyone needing to work from home, both in here and in the living room, pus it is incredibly peaceful due to energy efficient double-glazing. Feature walls have been picked out using designer papers, yet all internal decoration uses stylish, muted tones to suit all styles of furnishing.

Across the hallway, the bathroom has a luxury finish with stone wall tiles around the bath which has a ceiling mounted rainfall shower above it and a streamlined cabinet below the basin for toiletries.

Agent’s thoughts:
Such a unique, attractive and spacious apartment. It feels prestigious and peaceful for somewhere so central, and the location is incredible for access to the beach, the city and the station.

Owners’ thoughts:
“These apartments make great investments as they are so well-maintained and secure. The neighbours know each other and look out for one another making these fantastic apartments to lock-up-and-leave, and they are really peaceful. The location is hugely convenient too with so many lovely restaurants and the city centre shops nearby, so I’ll be sad to see it go.”
