Flat 1, The Red House, 21, Lansdowne Road, Hove, BN3 1FE

Set within a characterful building, this capacious two-bedroom ground floor apartment has the warmth and individuality of somewhere altogether more rural - an atmospheric home with generous proportions and plenty of personality.

With its own private entrance, the apartment opens into a wood-panelled cloak vestibule, setting the tone before leading through to an impressive 30ft living room.

Wooden floors, handsome fireplace surround and built-in window seating give the room a wonderfully inviting quality, while its scale leaves plenty of space to interpret and express.

Two bedrooms lead from the living room, one with its own en-suite, along with a separate bathroom.

The eat-in kitchen opens through double doors onto the patio, bringing the outside space naturally into the apartment.

There is a slightly romantic, retreat-like quality throughout - wood panelling, fireplaces, window seats and garden views coming together to create somewhere that feels both comfortable and distinctive.

The patio and communal gardens add another dimension, while off-road parking for one car is tucked away in the private car park.

A splendid and genuinely individual home - warm, spacious and full of character. Really not to be missed.
