Surrounded by the calm waters and panoramic coastal views of the inner harbour, this luxury two/three bedroom house is a peaceful paradise with a sunny balcony and private patio both enjoying the unique Marina location. On a gated promontory, you are on a prestigious and secure ‘island’ with a garage, allocated parking and a possible mooring just outside. Brighton’s cosmopolitan Marina is the largest in the UK with waterfront restaurants, shops, cinemas and a health club to enjoy- or if you want a change of scene, nearby bus routes cover the whole of our international city whilst the world famous arts venues of the Georgian Lanes are just 5 minutes by cab.

Designed to deliver a sophisticated lifestyle this smart terraced house is within an exclusive, gated mews with 24hr security and direct water views from both the front and back.

Inside, the hushed hallway has a high ceiling, a useful cupboard for coats and bags and a cloakroom tucked away. To your left is access to the integral garage which some neighbours have sensitively converted to provide an extra room whilst keeping the façade of the terrace symmetrical. Ahead, the bright and cheerful kitchen has glorious views across open water to white cliffs through French doors which open to a patio ideal for relaxed al fresco dining. There is also plenty of room inside the kitchen for a table and chairs, and the stylish units have integrated appliances which include a hob and fan oven, and plumbing is in place for a washing machine.

On the first floor, the formal reception has elegant proportions and French doors leading to the spacious balcony where you can share the sunshine and atmosphere of this prime waterfront location. Quiet and comfortable at the back with a mirrored wall of wardrobes to make the most of the harbour views the generous double bedroom is private, and it is ideal for guests as next door, the contemporary bathroom has all they need including a shower above the bath.

The glamorous principle suite spans the whole of the top floor with a balcony for breakfasts in this romantic locale where water gently laps at both the front and back, so it is not overlooked either. Light and airy there is a dressing area lined with wardrobes, and opposite, the luxury en suite is large enough for a bath with a shower above it.

Agent says:

“Houses with direct vies of the water do not come on the market often and sell fast as they are safe, quiet and private inside, but within easy reach of the amenities of the Marina which includes a supermarket and petrol station as well as the city centre.”

Owner’s secret:

“In summer, we spend most of the time either on the patio or the balcony enjoying the water and the boats sailing in or out, although we also like to stroll along the beach and then come back for lunch at one of the many restaurants in the Marina.”
