We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Built in 2019 by Marina Boats and now offered by its third owner, this Inspiration 28 floating water lodge represents a rare opportunity to own a genuinely exceptional waterside home at Brighton Marina.
Thoughtfully designed for year-round, comfortable living, the lodge combines high-specification fittings with a considered, practical layout that makes every square foot count.
Step through the large glazed bifold doors and you are immediately struck by the quality of the finish.
The open-plan lounge and dining area is light and airy, with saloon glass flooring adding a distinctive maritime touch and a glimpse of the water below.
The space flows naturally into the contemporary fitted kitchen, which includes an electric hob, oven and grill, integrated refrigerator, and dishwasher, everything you need for day-to-day living without compromise.
Both double cabins offer comfortable, well-proportioned sleeping accommodation, while the wet room is finished to a high standard with a dedicated shower compartment and a heated towel rail.
Underfloor heating runs throughout, ensuring the lodge stays warm and inviting whatever the season.
A wall-mounted television, LED lighting throughout, and blinds to the bifold doors complete the picture of a well-considered, ready-to-enjoy home.
On deck, the flexi teak external flooring and private outdoor space give you somewhere to sit and take in the surroundings - a genuinely unrivalled everyday experience, just minutes from Brighton Pier, Kemptown, and the South Downs.
Brighton Marina itself is a well-established and well-managed community.
The berth benefits from secure gated access, 24-hour CCTV, a resident car park, laundry facilities, on-site shower and toilet facilities, Wi-Fi, cycle storage, fresh water, and waste disposal.
A dog-friendly beach is five minutes on foot, and the marina's café and pitch-and-putt golf course sit above you on the clifftop.
Volk's Railway runs westward toward Brighton Pier, and a wide range of restaurants, cafes, bars, and a nearby supermarket means daily life here is easy and well-served.
For those seeking a primary residence, a bolt-hole, or simply a smarter way to access Brighton's waterfront, this lodge offers a compelling and increasingly sought-after alternative to the traditional property market.
