This two-bedroom apartment, nestled within the iconic St Margarets flats, showcases the charm of 1938 Moderne (Art Deco) architecture, crafted by notable designer RWH Jones, who also contributed to the renowned Saltdean Lido. The building features elegant curved balconies and a distinctive smooth render façade that echoes the design elements of vintage ocean liners.
Inside, the apartment presents an opportunity for modernization, allowing new owners to unlock its full potential. A spacious living room greets you at the front of the property, boasting sea views and access to a south-west facing balcony that wraps around the building. Both bedrooms benefit from direct sea vistas and include built-in wardrobes for added convenience. The functional kitchen offers space for essential appliances such as a freestanding cooker, washing machine, and fridge freezer, along with ample cabinetry and a rear window for natural light. The bathroom is equipped with a bath, hand basin, and WC, complemented by a towel rail and built-in cupboard.
Located in historic Rottingdean—a picturesque Sussex village on the coast just three miles east of Brighton—this property enjoys proximity to both natural beauty and community amenities. The village features a charming green with a duck pond and Kipling Gardens, which were once part of author Rudyard Kipling’s home but now serve as a public park. Rich in history, Rottingdean is dotted with ancient buildings including St Margaret’s Church from the 12th century.
In addition to its idyllic setting between the South Downs and the coastline, Rottingdean thrives as an active community with various local shops, pubs, and cafés. Nearby Brighton Marina enhances lifestyle options with leisure amenities like a cinema, ten-pin bowling alley, health club, as well as supermarkets and dining establishments. Seasonal events at The Terraces Stage on the seafront add cultural value from June through September.
This apartment offers not just a home but an investment opportunity in an attractive location with excellent renovation potential.
