Marine Gate, Brighton

Nestled within the prestigious and iconic Marine Gate-an Art Deco masterpiece designed by Messrs Wimpens, Simpson and Guture and opened in 1939-this exceptional fifth-floor, purpose-built apartment offers a rare combination of timeless coastal elegance and modern-day convenience. Situated in the highly sought-after Kemp Town area, the property enjoys an elevated position with truly breath-taking, uninterrupted sea views across the English Channel from both the living room and private balcony, creating an ever-changing backdrop to everyday living.

Just a short walk from the beach, the newly renovated and popular Reading Room Cafe, the Volks Railway, Brighton Marina, and the scenic Undercliff Walk, the location offers exceptional coastal lifestyle convenience.

The communal entrance makes an immediate impression with its striking curved façade, video entry system, and 24-hour concierge presence. A passenger lift rises to the fifth floor, where the apartment opens into a welcoming hallway with excellent storage. From here, the spacious south-facing reception room maximises natural light and frames glorious outlooks over the landscaped communal gardens and out to sea-perfect for relaxation, entertaining, and enjoying the coastal scenery.

Both double bedrooms are generously proportioned and beautifully bright. The principal bedroom enjoys superb front-facing sea views, while the second bedroom captures peaceful downland vistas to the rear, offering a contrasting yet equally picturesque outlook. The well-designed kitchen is fitted with modern appliances-including a touch induction hob, fan oven, fridge, freezer, and washing machine-and features an enclosed breakfast area overlooking the manicured gardens. The nautical-style bathroom, complete with a classic porthole window and shower-over-bath, adds character, complemented by a separate WC for enhanced convenience.

Residents of Marine Gate benefit from extensive amenities including beautifully maintained communal gardens, lift access, 24-hour concierge security, in-house maintenance personnel as well as a block manager, underground storage for wheelchairs or mobility scooters with charging points, regulated parking (permit required), and an underground car park equipped with one EV charging point and a car wash bay, along with two additional EV charging points in the north car park. The building’s inclusive yearly maintenance charge covers hot water, seasonal background heating from the gas boiler plant, daily refuse collection, a full-time maintenance manager, and gardeners-ensuring effortless, comfortable living.

Accessibility: The main building is partially wheelchair friendly, offering underground wheelchair and scooter storage with charging as well as lifts. It is possible to navigate the majority of the building without using stairs; however, there are some 3–7 steps depending on the point of access. Ample, well-maintained handrails are provided throughout. Inside the flat, the bathrooms are fitted with grab rails for additional support.

A significant and highly sought-after advantage of this property is the inclusion of a private double tandem garage, complete with an electric door-offering secure parking, generous storage capacity, and exceptional convenience directly within the development.

Situated in one of Brighton’s most glamorous seaside locations, overlooking the Brighton Marina with its range of shops, eateries and bars, this exceptional home is also within easy reach of East Brighton Park, Brighton Golf Club, the Royal Sussex County Hospital, and the vibrant heart of Kemp Town Village with its patisseries, independent shops, cafés, bars and restaurants.
