2 bed flat for sale

The Strand, Brighton BN2

A rare find, this ground floor waterfront 2 bed apartment with allocated parking and a bike store opens to a fabulous, feel-good terrace from the living dining room where only boats pass by. On a gated promontory in Brighton Marina’s inner harbour, looking over yachts berthed in calm waters you feel as though you’re on your own private island where you can enjoy a glamorous al fresco lifestyle you don’t have to travel for. Within walking distance of harbourside bars and restaurants but quietly tucked away, local beaches have café bars, an open air pool and sauna spas, the picturesque Lanes of Brighton are about 5-10 mins by cab and Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London are easy to reach.

The Marina is well organised for international sailing and this property is good to go as a home or for holidays. Inside has fresh decoration and the elegant living dining room has glazed doors to the terrace, so you can enjoy the lagoon even when seated. Across the hall, the airy kitchen is well planned with a stylish finish. Quiet and comfortable, the guest bedroom is ready for visitors and has access to a Jack & Jill bathroom – and it is also ideal if you were thinking of renting/sharing as it has storage and doesn’t share a bedroom wall. A private paradise with picture perfect views over the inner harbour, the principal bedroom is light and inviting with fitted wardrobes to fill and a chic en-suite shower room.

Why you’ll like it:
In a glorious, waterfront setting this luxury, ground floor apartment offers a dream coastal lifestyle. A go-to destination of our international resort, the marina offers modern entry systems and 24/7 security, and this promontory is quiet even though it is only a short walk to the variety of amenities which include harbourside restaurants, multi plex cinema, health club/spa, and casino (and residents get a discount card). There are moorings available if you were interested – and if you berth late or leave early there is refuelling, gas and water pontoon as well as a superstore and cash machines within a stroll – but out of hearing.

Inside, the hushed hallway has spacious storage and ahead, the spacious living dining room has stylish decoration and 5.20m x 3.48m (17’0 x 11’5) to enjoy, and opens to a social terrace, where friends can soak up the holiday atmosphere and enjoy the open views which sweep over the calm waters of the inner lagoon to the marina’s famous white cliffs. Across the hallway, the streamlined kitchen has everything to hand from the integrated gas hob and electric oven, both beneath a lit hood, and it is good to go with ample storage, practical working surfaces and plumbing for a washing machine.

Designed for restful nights both double bedrooms are airy with generous floorspace. The guest room is light and airy with calm decoration and next door, a stylish ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom (with access from the bedroom and the hallway, ) has a shower above the bath. Diametrically opposite, ideal for sharers as these two bedrooms do not share a wall, the quiet, comfortable principal bedroom of 5.12m x 3.01m (16’9 x 9’10) has custom built storage and restful views over its fabulous marina location, and its chic en-suite shower room is good to go.

Agent says:
“Safe, secure and quiet inside, outside there is a wealth of entertainment to enjoy within a stroll – but out of hearing -although there are buses and a taxi rank if you fancy a night out in the city, and there is also swift access to the station for the airports and London.”

Owner’s secret:
“Quiet and private, all of the rooms are light and spacious and the layout is perfect with the living dining room flowing out to holiday views you don’t need to travel for! Ideal as a home or for holidays all the facilities of the Marina are easy to reach including waterfront restaurants and a glamorous, rooftop cocktail bar in the hotel. There is an almost 24/7 supermarket with cash machines and a taxi rank/buses if you fancy going into the city for supper and live music.”
