Marine Court X

This bright one-bedroom apartment sits on the ninth floor of St Leonards-on-Sea's Grade II-listed Marine Court. With sweeping views of the sea, the apartment has bookending balconies accessible from the living room and kitchen respectively.

The building was completed in 1938, with the apartment retaining many original features including floorboards, door hardware and a kitchen. Known for its Regency architecture, St Leonards is a perennially popular seaside town within easy reach of its coastal neighbour Hastings.

Direct train services from Warrior Square, St Leonards-on-Sea (a 17-minute walk) reach London Charing Cross and London Bridge in approximately an hour and a half, and Brighton in around an hour. St Leonards-on-Sea is a popular seaside town, partly due to its proximity to London but also because of its beautiful Regency architecture. Developer-architect James Burton and his son Decimus developed the resort in the early 19th century with echoes of London’s Marylebone and Belgravia, where they had previously practised. The apartment is directly opposite the pebble beach at St Leonards, with sand at low tide. The apartment has two balconies: one sits directly in front of the horizon, with uninterrupted views that stretch from Beachy Head to Hastings. There is enough space for a bistro table and chairs here, ideal for enjoying a morning coffee.

The second balcony is accessed from the kitchen and would make a convenient spot for growing herbs.
