Marine Parade, Brighton, East Sussex BN2

Stunning Seafront Apartment With Direct Views & Parking, Chain Free

A charming and characterful one-bedroom ground floor apartment situated in a highly desirable position on Brighton’s iconic Marine Parade, just moments from the seafront. Combining generous proportions, attractive period features, an elevated principal reception room and a superb coastal outlook, this delightful home offers approximately 639 sq ft (59.39 sq m) of accommodation.

The property forms part of an impressive period building, with an elegant white façade, ornate detailing and distinctive curved bay windows. Having been exceptionally well maintained and lovingly cared for over the course of its 200-plus-year history, the building retains a wonderful sense of its original character and architectural charm.

The unusual east-facing orientation of the original bay windows is a particularly fascinating feature. Designed to follow the curve of the coastline, the bays would originally have allowed residents to enjoy an expansive outlook along the seafront before the surrounding properties were built up. Today, they remain a beautiful architectural feature and provide a wonderful connection to the building’s historic coastal setting.

A further highlight is the beautifully positioned front garden, shared exclusively by the three flats within the building. Set back from the road and thoughtfully enclosed by established planting, the garden offers a rare sense of privacy and tranquillity whilst enjoying lovely sea views. It is an exceptionally pleasant space in which to sit and enjoy the changing light across the water, have morning coffee or simply relax in peaceful surroundings, all whilst being just moments from the seafront. For a property in such a central location, this combination of privacy, greenery and coastal views is a particularly special asset.

Internally, the apartment continues to offer a wealth of period character, including high ceilings, decorative cornicing, ceiling roses and wooden flooring, complemented by a warm and welcoming interior.

The elevated living room is a particular highlight, positioned above the main entrance level and creating a wonderful sense of space and separation. The impressive curved bay window floods the room with natural light and provides an outlook towards the sea and along the coastline. Generously proportioned, the room offers ample space for both comfortable seating and dining, making it an inviting setting for relaxing and entertaining.

The double bedroom is well proportioned and benefits from excellent fitted storage, together with an attractive bay-style window and plenty of natural light. The room retains the calm, characterful feel found throughout the apartment.

A bright and practical galley-style kitchen runs along the rear of the property, fitted with white wall and base units, wooden worktops, cooking facilities and space for appliances. Its generous windows provide excellent natural light and make the space both pleasant and functional.
The shower room has been recently renovated, creating a fresh and contemporary space whilst complementing the character of the property. The refurbishment includes a new shower and newly fitted tiles, alongside a WC, wash basin and heated towel rail.
The location is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest attractions. Marine Parade and the seafront are virtually on the doorstep, with the beach, promenade and coastal walks immediately accessible. The vibrant amenities of Kemptown, including independent shops, cafés, restaurants and bars, are all within easy reach, whilst Brighton city centre is also readily accessible.

The property further benefits from off-road parking, a particularly valuable and sought-after feature in such a central coastal location.

Overall, 104 Marine Parade is a particularly appealing period home, offering an exceptional combination of history, architectural character, generous proportions, natural light, an elevated living room, sea views, a beautifully private-feeling shared garden and an enviable seafront position. Lovingly maintained over more than two centuries, and thoughtfully updated where required, this is a home with genuine character and a wonderful sense of place.
