Summary - CHARTWELL COURT 70 RUSSELL SQUARE BRIGHTON BN1 2EX
2 bed 3 bath Apartment
Huge dual-aspect penthouse with balcony sea views and two en‑suites.
Approximately 1,600 sq ft penthouse with panoramic southerly sea views
This top-floor penthouse occupies around 1,600 sq ft and delivers dramatic southerly sea views from a large balcony and elevated rooms. The apartment’s 26' x 20' dual-aspect open-plan living/dining/kitchen creates a sweeping social space flooded with light, while the triple-aspect master suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and a substantial en-suite. A second double bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite; built-in storage runs through a generous hallway.
The block sits in the heart of central Brighton, a short walk from Churchill Square and the seafront, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for city living. The size, outlook and location make this a strong option for buyers wanting a roomy seaside penthouse — suitable as a primary residence or a high-end city pied-à-terre.
Buyers should note material facts: the property is leasehold (share of freehold noted) and lease details are being compiled; additional leasehold-related fees (packs, management) may apply. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and walls are assumed to be cavity with no added insulation, which could mean higher heating bills despite gas boiler heating. Council tax is described as expensive.
The immediate area is a cosmopolitan, student‑oriented neighbourhood with very high local crime statistics and some signs of area deprivation — factors that will matter to families and some investors. The apartment is offered chain-free, with ample internal space and exceptional views, but purchasers are strongly advised to commission independent surveys and check lease documentation before committing.
