Marine Parade, Brighton

Quiet and private, this 2 bed, 2 bath exclusive retreat is an ideal coastal home or high end investment within one of the most sought after seafront terraces in Brighton, 15 mins walk along the promenade from the picturesque Lanes, and Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London only 7-10 mins by cab. Opposite beaches with a Lido, Yoga centre, volleyball courts and café bars, it’s set away from the coast road behind a south communal garden and a small service road with permit parking (with no list). For professionals and investors the location is hard to beat with the entrance on an historic one way lane which leads to the relaxed café culture of Kemptown Village and major employers – e.g. the County Hospital and Amex are within walking distance. Good to go with a beautiful finish throughout, 118.71m2 (1277.78 sq. ft.) of well-proportioned rooms deliver a fabulous lifestyle in glorious classic style.

Inside the apartment, ceilings rise to restful heights, beautiful proportions are inviting, storage is discreet but plentiful and the creative contemporary interior design complements many of the historic features including intricate cornices.

Ahead, the sophisticated living dining room has an impressive 5.48 x 5.37m (17’11 x 17’7) of versatile space to spread into and a faux wood burning stove to enjoy. Twin, ceiling high windows bathe the room with sunshine whilst broad French doors open to the terrace, ideal for entertaining. There’s an easy flow to the design-led kitchen where high windows ensure there’s plenty of light but also privacy for guests. Expertly planned with ample space for a large table, streamlined units are topped by gleaming granite and high spec appliances include a fabulous multi-fuel range which could stay, subject to circumstance.

Quiet and comfortable at the back of this substantial apartment, the guest bedroom is a peaceful refuge with 4.78 x 4.04m (15’8 x 13’3) to relax in. With generous proportions , a big window and custom made wardrobes. Just around the corner, the luxury bathroom is a dream come true, large enough for a stately bath with a traditional shower attachment as well as a dual head shower above it - and there is also natural light in here.

With the generous proportions only Regency properties can deliver and triple windows almost filling the gracious sweep of the south wall, the principal bedroom is a restful refuge, beautifully decorated with bespoke, mirrored wardrobes delivering organised storage and an en-suite shower room which has a soothing, designer finish that you won’t want to change.

Vendor’s Comments:

“This is a beautiful terrace to live in, unusually quiet with friendly neighbours – and the sea is just opposite where the beaches have a lot to offer with water sports, an open air pool, saunas and café bars to choose from. The village shops at the end of the lane open early and close late, useful if you’re a health professional or flying in from Gatwick. The Village has everything you need, from great restaurants to a bookstore, bakery, chemist, Co-Op and St George’s Church which hosts events. You can walk to the arts venues of the famous Lanes or to the casino, health club, cinemas or waterfront restaurants of the Marina – or take a cab or bus. East Brighton Park has sports facilities too and leads to fantastic countryside walks (with a café for breakfast), and Queen’s Park has tennis courts and is popular with parents at the college and local primary schools. Zone H has no waiting list and you can buy permits for visitors.”
