Right on trend, this stylish and spacious one bedroom loft apartment in the former Evening Argus Newspaper premises has a chic address at the heart of the North Laine. Designed by award- winning Conrad and Partners the interior has recently been sensitively reinvented, embracing the industrial bones of the building whilst creating inviting open plan living in a sought after area with shops, restaurants, cinemas and theatres on the doorstep, and both beach and station are easy to reach.
On a quiet one way lane, this listed former press building has ample period charm but all mod cons including energy efficient windows. The striking, contemporary entrance is secured by answer phone and has both a discreet bike store and a lift to the first floor, where your hushed path to this apartment is sensor lit.
Inside, the L shaped hallway is spacious enough for both a large lit cupboard and study area, and ahead the glamorous living room has the key elements of cool warehouse living – a high ceiling, natural wood floor, exposed brick wall and two huge windows to bring in plenty of light as well as historic views. Tucked away at one end of the space so it’s sociable but not intrusive, the streamlined kitchen’s tucked behind a sociable central island topped with aqua glass- a nod to the nearby beach- and industrial chic touches include stylish steel splashbacks and choice of lighting levels. Party ready, the touch induction hob and oven are beneath a cooker hood and both dishwasher and washing machine are also integrated for you.
Light and airy, the generous double bedroom acknowledges the heritage of the building in the amazing steel girder high above your head but which is made a comfortable refuge by custom made wardrobes, calm colours and an almost floor to ceiling glass panel facing east for the morning sun which is double glazed, so the room is always welcoming, warm and cosy as well as surprisingly quiet for this central location.
Central to the apartment, so convenient for guests too, the luxury shower room’s lined in creamy Travertine marble to help you relax in style and has all you need including a shower above the bath, lit storage, shaving point and a heated rail for towels.
Agent’s thoughts

As well as all the intercontinental cafés, bars, restaurants and arts venues on the doorstep, we also have the library on the pedestrian Jubilee Square where people congregate at lunchtime to enjoy the sunshine, and the public swimming pool with gym and fitness classes is also around the corner.”
