Marine Gate Mansions, Promenade, PR9

Arnold and Phillips are delighted to present this spacious two-bedroom first-floor apartment, attractively positioned within the sought-after Marine Gate Mansions development on The Promenade in Southport.

Offering a well-balanced blend of comfort, practicality and location, this property is ideal for those looking to enjoy low-maintenance, coastal living without compromising on access to local amenities or a strong sense of community.

Marine Gate Mansions has long held a reputation for quality and convenience, and as you approach the development it’s clear why. Set within beautifully maintained communal grounds, the building stands out for its thoughtful design and secure access, providing a quiet, residential feel while being just moments from the vibrant centre of Southport. This particular apartment benefits from private, allocated underground parking with lift access directly to the floor, along with fobbed entry for added security and peace of mind.

Once inside, the apartment opens into a generous entrance hallway that offers space for coat storage and provides an immediate sense of how the property flows. The open-plan main living space is particularly notable — well-sized and thoughtfully arranged to create a comfortable setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Large picture windows offer a pleasant outlook and allow for a calm, natural ambience that complements the neutral palette throughout. There’s room here for a good-sized seating area as well as a dining table, making the space practical for couples, downsizers or professionals who may occasionally work from home.

The kitchen sits just off the main living area and has been designed with functionality and socialising in mind, with its open configuration. It features a range of wall, base and tower units with sleek integrated appliances and durable work surfaces that balance style and use. Everything has its place, and the footprint allows for easy movement and storage without feeling cramped — particularly important in apartment living.

Two double bedrooms are provided, both comfortably sized and set away from the main living area, helping to create a sense of privacy. The principal bedroom is especially spacious and includes a walk-in wardrobe that has previously been used as a home office. This offers flexibility depending on lifestyle needs — whether you want extra clothes storage, a quiet workspace, or even a dressing area, the layout supports it well. An en-suite bathroom with shower, WC and basin serves this bedroom, meaning guests or other household members can make full use of the main bathroom independently. That main bathroom is well presented, with full-height tiling and a modern suite comprising a bath, shower over, WC and vanity basin. While a light cosmetic refresh may appeal to some, the apartment is entirely move-in ready and has been well cared for overall.

Outside the apartment itself, the building is surrounded by established grounds which are maintained to a high standard. There are paved seating areas, premium water features and open green spaces, ideal for taking in the sea air or meeting neighbours for a quiet chat. The development has a well-regarded community feel — it’s not uncommon for residents to stop and say hello, and there’s a real benefit to the sense of stability and care that comes with long-term owner-occupiers in the building.

Location-wise, this apartment ticks a number of important boxes. Southport Town Centre is just a short stroll away, offering a wide range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and everyday services. For commuters, the nearby Southport train station provides direct routes into Liverpool, with connections beyond, while good bus links serve the surrounding area. The Promenade itself offers some of the town’s most recognisable leisure attractions — the Marine Lake, King’s Gardens and the beach are all nearby, making it easy to incorporate outdoor time into your routine, whether you prefer peaceful walks, jogging routes or simply a coffee overlooking the water.

With vacant possession and no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity to secure a well-positioned apartment in one of Southport’s most established and desirable developments. For those seeking secure, manageable accommodation that’s close to everything the town has to offer, this property makes a strong case for early viewing.
