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.

Set within the iconic Marine Square, one of Brighton’s most prestigious Regency addresses, this beautifully presented home offers a rare combination of space, flexibility and coastal lifestyle.

Inside, the open-plan kitchen/living space is a superb central hub — measuring over 5 metres — with south-facing sash windows drawing in natural light and enhancing the sense of space.
The finish is both stylish and practical, blending modern touches with classic period detailing. The layout flows effortlessly, with a generous principal bedroom positioned quietly to the rear.
In addition, there is a highly valuable second room — currently arranged as an occasional bedroom — which provides fantastic flexibility as a guest room, dressing room or home office.
For a one-bedroom apartment, this extra space is a genuine rarity and significantly enhances day-to-day living.
A contemporary bathroom sits centrally, finished in a clean, modern style, while additional storage within the entrance adds to the practicality.
The setting Marine Square is one of Brighton’s most architecturally striking Regency garden squares, centred around beautifully maintained residents’ gardens with glimpses of the sea.
Living here places you literally moments from the beach, with the buzz of Sea Lanes, beach cafés, volleyball courts and sauna culture right on your doorstep.
Kemptown Village — affectionately known as “Chelsea by the Sea” — is just a short stroll away, offering an eclectic mix of independent cafés, restaurants, pubs and boutique shops.
Agent says “One-bedroom apartments rarely offer this level of space and versatility.
The additional room is a real game-changer, and combined with the prestige of Marine Square, it makes this a very compelling home or investment.” Owner’s secret “We love how peaceful it feels here despite being so close to everything.
You can step out onto the seafront within seconds, yet inside the flat it feels calm, private and spacious — it’s the best of both worlds.” Where it is • Seafront: Opposite — with Sea Lanes, cafés and beach lifestyle • Shops: Kemptown Village, 2 minutes • Station: Brighton Station approx.
