House For Sale £1,300,000
Trafalgar Gate, The Strand, Brighton BN2


Description
On an exclusive, no through promontory surrounded by calm water, this fabulous luxury house has four bedrooms, two en suite, a wraparound sun terrace with access to a private mooring, a garage and off street parking for 3 cars. Inside, this beautiful home has 2184ft2 (202.9m2) to play with at the heart of a secure, gated 'island' within our world famous Marina, where every room looks over the quiet inner harbour.
With entertaining at its heart, on the ground floor an elegant dining room is next door to a spacious kitchen diner which leads to the unusually large terrace whilst upstairs, the formal reception opens to a waterside veranda with room for a table and chairs. Also on this floor, the stylish principal suite has a generous bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a Juliette balcony and en suite with a designer finish.
On the second storey, all with restful lagoon views, three peaceful double bedrooms are ready to move into – the guest room en suite - and the magnificent family bathroom is designed to refresh and restore. Attracting professionals, international investors and families seeking fresh sea air, easy passage to the South Downs National Park and good schools, this prestigious Marina location also offers swift routes to the Amex Stadium, airports and London's West End by road or by train.

Brighton Marina is a glamorous location just 1.5 miles (5- 10 minutes by cab – or a scenic, seafront 25 minute stroll) from our picturesque cultural heart of the city. Trafalgar Gate is very private and secure even though it is only a short walk to the variety of amenities within the Marina which include harbourside restaurants, multi plex cinema, health club/spa, and casino. Children are catered for with outdoor activities and a Bowlplex, and if you berth late, there is a 24/7 superstore with petrol service station within a stroll – but out of hearing.

As end of terrace, this house has light from three sides and one of the largest sun terraces which looks over the inner harbour and wraps around to the front of the house. Inside, the refined hallway is broad with a discreet cloakroom, and the oak underfoot sweeps through to both the dining room and kitchen with access to the terrace, giving visitors, children and pets free reign to go with the sociable in/out flow.

The dining room, kitchen diner and terrace:

With a broad bow bay to frame the glorious waterfront location, this elegant dining space is a timeless classic where guests can dine in rare seclusion. Lined with windows, next door the kitchen diner is bright and cheerful with ample space in which to relax, discuss homework whilst cooking the incentive to finish or for informal suppers with friends.

Streamlined white units provide sophisticated storage and keep the focus on the water which reflects and ripples across the ceiling on sunny days and designed for entertaining. There is a door to the terrace for the al fresco lifestyle our city is known for. Appliances include a Neff touch induction hob, micro combi oven and fan oven, a Bosch hood also adds a choice of lighting level and there is a cool Gaggenau dishwasher as well as a tall fridge and freezer when catering for large numbers. Whilst it's ready to use being well laid out and functional, there is scope to update and improve the kitchen, and add a personal touch by new owners. Cleverly planned to be out of sight of the family table, a utility area is tucked away by the internal door to the garage, so sports/swim kits can go straight from car or beach to the machine and it is worth mentioning that some neighbouring properties have joined these two rooms together if you prefer an open plan lifestyle.

Outside, you feel as though you are on your own private island on a sunny paved terrace, facing east but open to the south and surrounded by the calm sea of the inner harbour. Watching the boats – or resident swans – it is a tranquil idyll where it is easy to forget that you are just minutes from the centre of an international coastal resort. Wrapping around to a gate at the front and with lighting installed it is perfect for parties, and there is also a second private gate to a mooring for the yacht.

The formal reception:

Light and inviting, this restful room spans an impressive 13'1'' x 20'4''. Ideal for all seasons, the generous balcony embraces its unique Marina location, with views of our famous white cliffs across the harbour framed by boats and smart, distant homes. Inside, arched windows bring in the Sussex sunshine whilst the gas, coal effect fire ensures this space is warm and welcoming during the winter months too.

The principal suite:

A private paradise, this soothing retreat opens to a Juliette balcony looking to the water so is not directly overlooked. Simple but stylish, floor to ceiling wardrobes are mirrored to reflect the relaxing view and en suite, the design-led bathroom has twin curved hand basins echoing the arc of the window and is large enough for both a bath with a wand attachment and separate walk in shower with a high end dual head system.

The second floor family bedrooms, bathroom and guest suite:

Serene and secluded, guests will love this restful haven which enjoys the sea air. Inside, mirrored wardrobes reflect the view, and the chic en suite shower room with sleek fittings is right on trend.

At the front of the house, the second bedroom on this floor is of dual aspect making it light and airy and has bespoke fitted wardrobes. At the back, with picture perfect views only waterfront Marina homes can deliver, the fourth bedroom is used as a comfortable, quiet place in which to work from home. Across the hall, the luxury bathroom has sleek fixtures with a dual shower system above the bath, storage with steel detail beneath the hand basin and a lit mirror above, and a full size chrome rail to warm towels and night clothes.

Agent says:

"The Marina provides ample entertainment to enjoy just within a stroll – but the house is quiet as this private 'island' was built to be out of hearing. Safe and secure, this location attracts professionals, families and international celebrities wanting a healthy lifestyle, good schools and privacy for their children with quick access to the city and airports, and this large, fuss free home is ready to move into."

Owner's secret:

"On the waterfront, the house is light and airy and the terrace becomes an extension of the house where we have held many happy celebrations. Friends also love to visit in winter, as they can park on our drive and then walk to the restaurants looking over the harbour, or take a cab to the theatre and return to peace and quiet."
