Why You’ll Like It:
Built in 1939 for a luxury lifestyle on the Sussex coast, this famous site has been brought roaring into the 21st century with energy efficient windows and statement entrances surrounding a formal central garden. With enormous communal grounds it is secured by an entry system, CCTV and a concierge – and the friendly community stocks a private swap library, holds monthly coffee mornings, seasonal celebrations as well as various clubs and if you are looking for a lock up and leave, there is also a locked luggage drop.
Reached through the impressive main entrance where the concierge is waiting to meet and greet, a lift which serves only two apartments on each floor awaits to sweep you to the 5th floor.

Inside, the central hallway is inviting with generous storage and ahead, a glamorous living dining room celebrates its exclusive coastal location with a south wall of glass to frame picture perfect views over our international marina to the sparkling sea. Ideal for entertaining you can enjoy the Sussex sunshine and soak up the inter-continental atmosphere either with company on the balcony in summer, or in winter, guests can experience the beauty of our dramatic electric storms over the sea and relax in warm seclusion by a sleek, flame effect fireplace.

Across the hallway a bright and cheerful kitchen flows into a covered balcony used as a breakfast area, with glorious open views over ‘Millionaire’s Row’ to the golf course and open downland. Streamlined units deliver ample storage, and quartz working surfaces glitter beneath ambient lighting. Good to go, high-spec integrated appliances include a touch induction electric hob, a microwave plus oven at eye level and a fridge and freezer.

Looking over manicured, communal grounds to the South Downs, the guest room is a quiet, private refuge and is next door to a stylish w.c. Facing south for the sunshine, the principal bedroom is a serene sanctuary with simple but stylish decoration to keep the focus on the unique waterfront setting where views sweep over the marina to open water, and there are custom made wardrobes ready to fill. Next door, the luxury bathroom has the signature, porthole window and a contemporary finish which includes a shower above the bath, a vanity unit beneath the hand basin and warming rails for towels.
