Suez Way, Saltdean, BN2

Once a celebrated seaside hotel, the Grand Ocean remains one of Saltdean’s most iconic landmarks – a striking Art Deco building that has become part of the area’s identity and coastal charm. Living here feels like owning a piece of that history, just moments from the beach and the famous Saltdean Lido.

This spacious one-bedroom apartment sits on the ground floor and benefits from its own private street entrance and terrace – ideal for morning coffee in the sun or coming and going with ease after a swim or coastal walk. It’s a home that suits a single buyer or couple perfectly, whether as a main residence by the sea or a lock-up-and-leave holiday retreat with strong investment appeal.

Inside, the generous open-plan living space has been finished in fresh, neutral tones and offers plenty of room for both relaxing and dining. Large windows fill the room with natural light, creating an airy, uplifting feel throughout the day. The modern kitchen sits neatly to one end, with ample storage and integrated appliances, while white cabinetry and subtle spot lighting maintain the apartment’s clean, contemporary look.

The double bedroom is positioned just off the living space and features a large mirrored built-in wardrobe, keeping the room calm and uncluttered. The bathroom is finished with a full white suite, electric shower over the bath, heated towel rail and floor-to-ceiling sandstone-effect tiling.

Practicality is well considered, with a substantial utility cupboard providing space for laundry and additional storage. There is also a separate additional room to the rear – perfect as a home office, dressing room or occasional guest space.

As a real lifestyle bonus, residents enjoy access to a communal gym and beautifully maintained roof terrace with far-reaching views across Saltdean and towards the sea – an ideal spot for unwinding at the end of the day or enjoying a sunny afternoon above the coastline.
