Why you’ll like it:
Built in the 1990’s phase of the project to create the largest Marina in the UK, Merton Court is safe and secure, built around a gated courtyard with a Mediterranean influence and a discreet bike and recycling store. Although it is quiet, it is only a short walk to the wonderful variety of amenities within the Marina which include a supermarket and a gas station open almost 24/7 as well as a sail in boat yard.

Enjoy the easy flow within the apartment which begins on the ground floor. An entrance hallway provides access to two of the bedrooms with the larger opening onto sheltered sun trap perfect for parties or for everyday use. Backing onto a pedestrian promenade it is quiet and fume free.
Moving back inside there is a downstairs bathroom and access into the integral garage with electric door, which is a rarity in itself.

Upstairs, the reception is a spectacular introduction to the Marina lifestyle! Broad doors frame holiday views over yachts and open to a sun baked balcony large enough for friends to spill out to, breathe in the sea air and experience the unique atmosphere of this amazing waterfront home. You can enjoy people watching as they walk along the quiet promenade or watching the boats coasting in and out (and there are trips to hire if you don’t want to take your own) and inside is simple but stylish to keep the focus on the view, with plenty of floorspace to entertain and inset dining area.

Behind this and easily connected (STNC) you will find the kitchen, classic units provide ample storage and working surfaces are practical. Good to go, integrated appliances include a gas hob, electric oven and a hood, there is plumbing for a washing machine and designated space for a fridge.

Towards the rear of the property you will find the principle bedroom. Comfortable in size, it provides elevated views to the North, with ample space for free standing furniture and access to a private en-suite.

Agent says:
“Safe and private inside, outside there is a wealth of entertainment just within a stroll – but out of hearing. The secure parking gives peace of mind when you’re away and there is a 24/7 supermarket should you sail in late (or work at the hospital!).”

Owner’s secret:
“The glamorous views from the balcony are perfect for parties or for us to relax in as we plan the weekend together. During winter, we love to entertain in the warmth whilst dramatic electric storms play out over the open water beyond the harbour walls – and New Year’s Eve is the ideal time to take a boat out and enjoy the city’s glittering coastline and fireworks.”
