Marine Parade, Brighton

Glamorous sea views stream through this prime 2nd floor, 2 bed waterfront apartment within a magnificent, Grade II listed Regency building attributed to Busby & Wilds. Set well back from the coast road behind a south facing communal garden and opposite beaches with art galleries, a Lido, Yoga centre and bistro bars nearby it’s the dream coastal home or excellent, high end investment. Beautifully presented with glorious proportions, tastefully decorated rooms and bedrooms which don’t share a wall (or a bathroom), 67.03m2 (721.50 sq. ft.) deliver a fabulous lifestyle just 10 mins walk along the promenade from the legendary Lanes, and Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London only 7-10 minutes by cab.

A fabulous find, the elegant reception is full of sunlight with windows so large you can enjoy the inspiring views even when seated, and it is shaped for easy flow zones. The central kitchen has a streamlined finish and perfect for guests, the first of the double bedrooms has seaside views and is by the luxury bathroom. On the quiet east side of the building, the generous principal is a dream come true with fitted wardrobes to fill, a dressing area and a chic en-suite shower room. With vibrant cafés, bars and restaurants as well as staples like supermarkets and pharmacies, Kemptown hosts Pride, the County Hospital, the pier and So-Ho house, and now is the time to buy with substantial improvements taking place along the seafront.

Tucked away from crowds of tourists between the pier and the marina on Kemptown’s iconic Regency seafront with independent shops, cafés and bars on your doorstep but out of hearing, this glamorous home is within a listed, end of terrace building and the communal hallway is designed to impress.

Inside the apartment, beautiful proportions are inviting and ideal as a home or for holidays, the hall has good storage. Ahead, the sophisticated living dining room has 6.74 x 4.45m (22’1 x 14’7) to enjoy and two huge windows bathe the room with sunshine and bring in the unique seafront setting. At the heart of the apartment, the sociable kitchen has a fabulous finish with granite surfaces, a touch induction hob and oven beneath a hood, and it’s good to go with an integrated fridge and plumbing for a washing machine which could stay, subject to circumstance.

At the front of the apartment the first of the double bedrooms looks out to sea, so is completely private. Ideal for guests or sharers it doesn’t share a wall with the principal bedroom, and next door the luxury bathroom is lined in Travertine stone and has both bath and electric shower.

Quietly tucked away on the east side for the morning sun, the restful principal bedroom has 5.16 x 3.32m (16’11 x 10’10) to relax in.

Vendor’s Comments:
“The historic terrace is beautiful and it’s hard to beat this location right by the sea and with there is a great variety of local amenities at the end of the quiet one way lane to the side. We love the light and easy flow of the apartment which is very spacious and it feels very private. Living here feels like being on holiday every single day. It would suit professionals who work in the city or investors as local schools include Brighton College, it is only an 10-12 minute walk to the County Hospital with major employers, the station to Gatwick and London and the cultural heart of the city within a 10 minute radius by bus or cab.”
