Brighton Marina brings a new meaning to waterside living, with this property sitting perfectly within the development being peacefully tucked away within a private, gated mews. Sheltered from the coast yet with direct access to the harbour, this apartment is a yachtsman’s dream, where after a day on the water, you can unwind in the comfort of this beautiful home or seek fun in one of the many restaurants and bars along the boardwalk. Brighton Marina is the largest in the UK and one of the most exciting developments in the history of this vibrant city. It presents a rare opportunity to experience marina life amidst all the advantages of Brighton’s rich heritage.

Driving into the development, there are two sets of gates into the mews to where this apartment sits on the northerly part on the second floor. It comes with allocated parking, plus there is parking along the road in spaces marked ‘V’.

An intercom provides access to the neat communal hallway where stairs lead up to the apartment where the main door opens to a generous hallway from which the principal rooms reside. It has clearly been well-maintained, decorated in a contemporary white tone throughout, yet it is also a blank canvas for any new owners to change, if they wish.

Within the living room, there is ample space for relaxation and formal dining which can spill outside to the balcony which faces North and has views of the boats in the harbour opposite. It is also open to the West enjoying the last bit of sunshine. You can sit out here for hours during the warmer seasons just watching the world go by while contemplating which one of the many marina restaurants to frequent that evening.

The kitchen has been well-designed for the space to include plenty of storage and an integrated oven and gas hob, leaving space for a tall fridge freezer and a washing machine which may be available by separate negotiation.

Along the hall, the main bathroom has a full bath suite to include a shower over it. It serves bedroom two almost as an en suite which is a fine size double with a westerly aspect and built-in storage.

The principal bedroom suite sits at the far end of the flat with a modern en suite shower room and elevated views which are a joy to wake up to. While there is little noise due to the private road and peaceful location, double glazing throughout also ensures you guarantee a restful night’s sleep.

Agent’s thoughts:
Well-presented and spacious with the added bonus of secure parking, 24/7 security and a private north-facing balcony, this apartment will appeal to those looking to live in peace and tranquillity, in a prestigious location by the sea.

Owner’s thoughts:
“The marina is a wonderful place to live throughout the year, yet it really comes into its own during the summer months when you can walk along the boardwalk and sit outside for a meal in one of the many restaurants here. There is also a real sense of community here in Sovereign Court and it has been a lovely home for me, and an excellent rental investment too, so I shall be sad to let it go.”
