Russell Crescent, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1

Versatile and spacious, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom patio flat also boasts an incredible location at the heart of this vibrant coastal city. It sits tucked away from the main thoroughfare of Seven Dials within a grand Regency house formed within the lower ground floor. It is naturally light with generous rooms and is completely self-contained from the rest of the house with its own street entrance to the front, and a sweet patio garden to the rear.

Just seconds away sits an array of fabulous shops, cafes, eateries and more, where the scent of freshly baked bread from Flour Pot Bakery will filter through your open windows during summer to tempt you out. A few minutes more will find you at Brighton Mainline Station for the London commute, or to the beach between Brighton and Hove; well known for its daily sea swimmers. St. Ann’s Well Gardens are also nearby for open green spaces and the South Downs are a hop on a bus away giving you the best of all worlds.

Why you’ll like it:

Russell Crescent is a peaceful, leafy road set back from Seven Dials, but close enough to enjoy its many amenities with ease. It is characterised by beautiful Regency homes with pretty front gardens and striking architectural features creating an attractive part of the city to return home to each day. This property sits at the easterly end with its own street entrance down a few steps to the front, entering straight into the kitchen breakfast room.

Stepping inside, it is clearly a spacious home with a smart neutral decoration to suit all styles of furnishing. The layout is versatile with flexible spaces to accommodate dining, entertaining and working from home if need be.

Entering the kitchen, the appliances are freestanding allowing space for a washing machine, dishwasher, tumble dryer and freezer, alongside an integrated oven and hob which will be staying. From here, the dining hall is an open space to accommodate a large dining table and chairs or a work desk perhaps.

Next door, the living room is a beautiful size with a period fireplace and two sash windows to bring in plenty of natural light from the south while remaining private from the street. While it is currently dressed as a bedroom, it clearly has space for larger sofas and chairs alongside a formal dining table, depending on how you’re using the kitchen breakfast room.

The principal bedroom sits to the rear of the building with access to the patio garden. This is a double room with built-in wardrobes to maximise the floor space which is both practical and stylish with wooden floorboards. The en suite bathroom is fresh in white with a shower over the bath. Bedroom two is a smaller double room, although fine for sharers or small families. It also enjoys access to the patio and sits conveniently close to the modern shower room across the hall.

This is a fantastic property in a popular location which is well served for shops, parks and schools. There are plenty of local green spaces, and great transport links, but you are also only a short walk from everything this vibrant coastal city has to offer. The A23 and both Brighton and Hove Stations are also within easy reach, for those requiring fast links to Gatwick or London on a daily or weekly basis.
