Why you’ll like it:
As Victorian conversions go, the Argus Lofts building is one of the best. Cleverly converted and designed by Conran & Partners architectural practice in 2001, these apartments have stood the test of time. With a striking red-brick exterior and oversized factory windows, this beautiful building is iconic in the city, sitting centrally within the creative and colourful North Laine district.
This apartment sits elevated on the second floor, accessible by lift. Internally, it has been modernised, with fresh white walls and wooden floors to the main living areas. As loft apartments are imagined, it is possible to create a completely open plan living space with the principal bedroom open to the living room which maximises the natural light as all three factory windows run along the westerly elevation, framing views over the local historic landscape. Sliding doors can divide the rooms, if need be, giving flexibility to how you use the space, be that as a bedroom, dining room, music or entertaining space.

Streamlined and modern, the kitchen sits recessed to the rear of the room with a freestanding central island and ample storage space in white handle-free cabinetry. Within these, the induction hob, oven, dishwasher and washing machine are integrated, leaving space for a tall fridge freezer without compromising the living space. It is a room which invites entertaining, yet in is also a space in which to relax and unwind, elevated and tucked away within the city.

Should the principal bedroom be used for sleeping, it becomes en suite with a chic shower room, while bedroom two is carpeted and has easy access to the main bathroom across the hall where you’ll find and shower over the bath.

Ideal for commuters and busy city lovers, this superior home is in a popular, historical location within the famously chic North Laine, so you can enjoy the innumerable boutiques, restaurants, clubs, cinemas and theatres on foot. It's also conveniently located for the Pavilion Gardens which provide cool green spaces to relax during summer, and host numerous arts events all year round. For those who love the outdoors, the beach, surrounding downland and cosmopolitan Marina- with waterfront restaurants- are easy to reach, and for commuters, the station serving Gatwick (23 minutes) and London (55) is around the corner, and there's quick access to the A23/A27.
