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

Elevated above the boardwalk, looking out over the boats in the seafront harbour from its private balcony, this two-bedroom second floor flat forms part of a secure development at Brighton Marina. It sits within a gated mews with private parking, so there is an air of exclusivity to marina life, with the added benefits of security and tranquillity the area brings. Internally, the apartment has a smart, neutral decoration in shades of cream throughout its generous, well-proportioned rooms. While it has been well-maintained, there remains some scope to modernise which would add value in such a prestigious location and allow new owners to put their own stamp on the place.

In addition, there is 24/7 security which will appeal to older residents and regular travellers looking for a secure lock-up-and-leave.

The city of Brighton & Hove is just five-minutes away in a cab, or you are spoilt for choice for eateries and bars in the marina, plus there is a cinema, casino, bowling alley and health club too, so you rarely need to travel further afield. With so many favourable qualities, this attractive home is sure to be snapped up.


With the twinkling sounds of the boats in the cool coastal breeze, this apartment is ideally located to experience the best of marina living. 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 modern 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 south westerly wing on the second floor. It comes with allocated parking, plus there is visitor 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, yet it is also a blank canvas for any new owners who may wish to add value with additional modernisations.
Within the living room, there is ample space for relaxation and formal dining which can spill outside to the balcony which faces west, yet is open to the south, benefitting from direct sunshine from lunchtime, until it sets over the water, lighting up the sky with colour. From here you gain direct views over the boats in the harbour to the sea, so 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.

Nearby, the kitchen and has been well-designed for the space to include plenty of storage and some integrated appliances, leaving space and plumbing for others.

Along the hall, both bedrooms are substantial doubles with soft carpet underfoot and double glazing to ensure a warm and peaceful night’s sleep. They share use of the main bathroom with a shower over the bath and traditional tiling on the walls.

Agent’s thoughts:
Fantastic views greet you in this attractive seafront apartment which is ideal for sharers as the bedrooms are double. The added bonus of secure parking, 24/7 security and a private west-facing balcony, means this apartment will appeal to those looking to live in peace and tranquillity, in a prestigious location by the sea.

Owner’s thoughts:
“When we moved here, we were keen to find somewhere spacious and peaceful, but also somewhere which was safe for us to lock-up-and-leave when travelling. Having a quiet space is a hugely important factor for me as I work from home, and this house is perfect as it is so well insulated and nicely tucked away the hustle and bustle of the city. There is a real sense of community here in Sovereign Court, but equally, it is lovely to experience the café culture of Kemp Town which is on our doorstep too – these are the things we will miss when we leave.”
