The Strand, Brighton Marina Village, Brighton, East Sussex, BN2

With spectacular, uninterrupted harbour views from its prime south facing balcony, this luxury two bedroom waterfront apartment is a rare find delivering a glamorous, Marina lifestyle which you can walk straight into. Ideal as a home, an investment or for holidays with a parking space and direct bus routes to Brighton Station’s trains to Gatwick and London, it is tucked away with 24 hour security close to, but out of hearing of vibrant waterfront restaurants and bars, with the beach a stone’s throw away. Inside, the stylish living dining room opens to a sunny balcony with space for a table and chairs, a separate kitchen has a classic finish and perfect for sharers, the two spacious bedrooms do not share a wall with each other, and the restful principal is en-suite whilst the smart guest room is by the bathroom. Well organised for international sailing, the picturesque cultural heart of the city is only 5-10 minutes by cab- and now is the time to buy with substantial improvements underway along the neighbouring seafront, including a new Lido!

Streamlined yachts and the distant glitter of harbourside restaurants form a spectacular backdrop to this luxury home where sunlit rooms deliver a waterfront lifestyle you don’t need to travel abroad for. The largest Marina in the UK and a go-to destination of our legendary seaside resort and this exclusive, gated block with an entry system and 24/7 security is quiet even though it is only a short walk to the variety of amenities which include restaurants, a multi plex cinema, a health club/spa, and a casino. There are moorings available if you were interested – and if you berth late or leave early there is refuelling, gas and water pontoon as well as a superstore and cash machines within a stroll – but out of hearing.

Ahead, the stylish living dining room makes the most of the Sussex sunshine and fabulous water-line location with a south wall of glass which slides across to a balcony ideal for friends to spill out to and enjoy this amazing atmosphere – and a view which stretches from the white cliffs of the 7 Sisters in the east to a glimpse of Downland to the west. Lit and sheltered by the balcony above and only the boats and a pedestrian walkway below it is quiet and car free, and with room for a table and chairs it is the perfect spot for fun in the sun, or to watch the distant cityscape come to life at night. Inside there is plenty of floorspace to play with and it is party perfect as you can enjoy the view even whilst seated.

Across the hall, the bright and cheerful kitchen has classic units providing plenty of storage and practical working surfaces. Good to go, integrated appliances include a gas hob and electric oven beneath a hood, plumbing is in place for a dishwasher and washing machine, and there is still space for a tall fridge and freezer – and the good news is that the vendor is happy to discuss the appliances in situ.

Designed for restful nights both generous bedrooms are well presented and airy. Looking over a central courtyard with waving palms, the guest room is a quiet retreat to enjoy with space for a wardrobe behind the door. Next door, the modern bathroom is completely private and has all you need including a shower above the bath and a shaving point by the light above the hand basin.

All about relaxing in a stunning setting, the principal bedroom which has a chic en-suite shower room, enjoys views of the tranquil waters of the main harbour and boats at safe harbour, and the custom made wardrobes are mirrored so you can enjoy the picture postcard vista even from bed.
