Built for a sophisticated lifestyle on the Sussex coast, the famous façade of Marine Gate has roared into the 21st century with energy efficient windows, secure entrances around a formal central garden at the front and glorious, wrap around, landscaped gardens for the residents. Looking over the protective harbour and waterfront restaurants of the Marina to the English Channel it is one of the most sought after destinations in the city. Known for its discreet security and concierge to meet and greet, Marine Gate’s friendly, inclusive community stocks a swap library, holds monthly coffee mornings and seasonal celebrations as well as hosting various clubs, and if you are looking for a lock up and leave, a security patrol will check your apartment upon request.
Reached through an impressive entrance, a lift awaits to sweep you to the 4th floor. Inside, the central hallway is light and inviting with cupboards for coats and ahead, the elegant reception celebrates its exclusive coastal location with an east wall of glass framing inspiring views of the gardens, our international marina and the sparkling sea at one end, and the sunsets at the other. Ideal for entertaining you can enjoy the Sussex sunshine and soak up the inter-continental atmosphere either by a fireplace in winter or on the covered balconies during summer where windows bring the outside in.
Sunny and streamlined, along the hall, the contemporary kitchen is well planned with everything to hand from an integrated hob, and the micro/combi and electric oven are at eye level to avoid awkward lifting when catering for larger numbers, and there is access to the ‘back’ door where rubbish is collected every day.
An inner lobby separates the two bedrooms from the living areas and with open views, both double bedrooms are private, quiet and comfortable. Ready for visitors, the guest room has fitted wardrobes already in place, and between the two rooms, so they don’t share a wall, you can bathe in glory in a bathroom with one of the famous porthole windows. There is a shower above the tub and sculptural steel will warm your towels. A restful retreat which spreads its wings across 14’1 x 12’11 (4.3m x 4.25m), the serene principal bedroom has custom made wardrobes with organised storage, and just across the hall is a fabulous shower room.
Outside, beautiful formal gardens welcome guests. Sunny and well maintained, manicured gardens wrap around three sides of the building with ample space to explore. To one side, the secure double garage of 9.97m x 6.5m (32’8 x 21’4) gives peace of mind whilst you are on holiday, there is a w.c. tucked away and with 10.45m x 4.6m (34’4 x 15’1) the snug behind has a lot to offer!
Agent says:
“With substantial improvements underway on the neighbouring Black Rock seafront and discussions taking place about developing a disused plot nearby, now is the time to buy this spacious apartment with glorious sea views”
Owner’s secret:
“The perfect place to party this has also been a private and quiet home for many happy years. The sea views from the balcony and front rooms are beautiful beneath sunny or stormy skies and are different every day. There is a relaxed community with a wide range of ages who host events like coffee mornings or wine tastings if you want to meet people, and the only personal bill you need to consider is the electricity as the monthly charge deals with everything else. With easy access to the theatres, picturesque restaurants and shopping of the historic heart of the city – about 7 minutes by cab- there are also plenty of friendly local shops and amenities you can walk to like Marmalade Café and bistro pub Daddy Long Legs, and the garage gives peace of mind while you away.”
