House For Sale £1,100,000
Surrounded by the tranquil waters of the Marina's inner lagoon, this immaculate luxury house has four double bedrooms, two en suite, a spacious terrace with direct access to a 12m mooring, integral garage and off street parking for 2/3 cars. Inside, this peaceful home has a relaxing 2124ft2 (197.3m2) to enjoy at the far end of a secure, gated 'island' within our world famous Marina, where every room has nautical views. Ideal for entertaining, on the ground floor an elegant dining room flows into a discreetly expensive, custom made Shwartz kitchen which leads to the sunny terrace which has no passing traffic, other than boats. Upstairs, the formal reception opens to a waterside veranda with room for a table and chairs and also on this floor, the serene principle suite has a glamorous bedroom with a south facing balcony and en suite with a designer finish. On the second storey, all with restful views, three stylish bedrooms are ready to move into – the guest room en suite - and the beautiful family bathroom has a spa like feel. 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 fabulous location just 1.5 miles (5- 10 minutes by cab – or a scenic, seafront 25 minute stroll) from the 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 an almost 24/7 superstore with petrol service station within 400 yards – but out of hearing.
Facing south for the sunshine, the approach is attractive past the stately terraces and exotic planting of this quiet promontory which has a secure, video entry system and electronic gates, and at the far end, the off street parking is directly in front of this attractive house where the integral garage is to the right.
The dining room, kitchen diner and terrace:
With a broad bow bay to frame an open vista sweeping over the waving palm trees of the square to the glittering inner lagoons, a graceful dining space allows guests to dine enjoying the holiday feel and there is an easy, social flow through to the kitchen area with a matching bay giving extra floorspace for seating or informal breakfasts whilst watching the water gently ebb and flow. Beautifully planned with ambient lighting, the custom made Schwarz kitchen provides sophisticated storage and designed for entertaining, there is a door to the terrace for an open air, waterfront lifestyle. High spec appliances include a Neff touch induction hob, micro combi oven and fan oven with a warming drawer, a dishwasher is integrated by a sink which has a Quooker tap and the Trans-Atlantic style fridge and freezer, which could stay, is sociably placed by the door to the terrace for parties. Tucked out of sight around the corner, a utility area is found within the garage, so sports/swim kits can go straight from the car or boat to the machine.
Outside, you feel as though you are on your own private island on a spacious paved terrace where the sunshine reflects off the white cliff face, and open to both the east and west you get the morning light as well as the sun after work, and you are not disturbed by traffic noise as it is edged by the calm sea of the innermost harbour. Watching the boats – or resident swans – it is a restful idyll where it is easy to forget that you are just minutes from the centre of an international coastal resort. With lighting installed it is perfect for al fresco dining, and there is also an external power supply for the yacht if you elect to arrange a mooring with Premier Marinas by separate arrangement.
The formal first floor reception:
Double doors sweep you through to an inviting room of understated elegance which spans a gracious 18'9'' x 13'10''. Light an airy, an arched doorway leads out to a generous balcony which embraces its prime location on the lagoon with no building behind, and you can indulge in a little discreet people watching as walkers and cyclists pass by on the undercliff walk. Inside, arched windows open to bring in the sea air whilst the gas, coal effect fire in a stately fireplace ensures this space is warm and welcoming during the winter months too.
The principal suite:
The principal suite is a soothing sanctuary opening to a south facing balcony looking to water on both sides– and you can also see the masts of the main harbour, too. Refined decoration includes stylish fitted wardrobes and en suite, the glamorous bathroom is a classic black and white with twin hand basins beneath sensor lit cabinets and a high end dual head system in the enticing shower.
The second floor family bedrooms, bathroom and guest suite:
Quiet and comfortable, visitors will love this peaceful haven which is not directly overlooked, and the chic en suite shower room with contemporary fittings is simple but stylish.
Two more relaxing bedrooms have picture perfect views only waterfront Marina homes can deliver, and each are ready to move into with calm decoration and built in closets. Across the hall, the luxury bathroom has a spa like feel with a Japanese inspired hand basin on streamlined storage, statuesque bath with a shower attachment, sculptural heated rail to warm towels and night clothes, and a large, stone based shower with both a rainfall head and a wand.
Agent says:
"This immaculate, chain free townhouse is a quiet and safe home or easy lock up and leave with 24 hour security. Attracting professionals, families and international celebrities wanting a healthy lifestyle, good schools and privacy for their children with quick access to the city and airports, the Marina also offers plenty of entertainment just within a stroll- although this house is really peaceful as this gated 'island' was skilfully designed to be out of hearing."
Owner's secret:
"On the water, the house is always light, airy and inviting, and the terrace becomes another 'room' from early spring to late autumn as we are sheltered from the sea breezes but still get the sun in the mornings, later in the afternoon and most of the evening. Friends love to visit for all of our city's famous festivals- and for Christmas as they can park by the house and forget about the car and either walk to the restaurants looking over the harbour, or take a cab to the theatre and return to peace and quiet."
