Facing west for the sunsets, this magnificent building is secured by answer phone which opens to a second security door and grand entrance with period features. Carefully converted to keep the integrity of the building, this apartment spans the whole of the third floor and you get an immediate feeling of space in a broad hallway which leads from front to back.

Looking across manicured gardens to the sea, the elegant living room has ample space to share. With classic oak flooring and simple decoration the focus is kept firmly on the picture perfect vista which sweeps from the protective arm of the Marina to open water, and in the evening this room becomes a private sanctuary with a choice of lighting levels and a handsome period fireplace adding charm.
