Bedrooms: 1
An exceptional Grade II listed Regency classic, perched high up in St Leonards on Sea with far-reaching views towards the English Channel and over the picturesque Markwick Gardens.
Steeped in history this beautiful south-facing first-floor period apartment with balcony is substantial in size and magnificent in all aspects.
Markwick Terrace was designed by Decimus Burton who designed much of Kew Gardens and the important Glass Palm house at Kew. Decimus was also the son of James Burton who was probably the most significant builder of St Leonards on Sea and Georgian London, responsible for large areas of Bloomsbury, St Johns Wood, Clapham Common and collaborated with John Nash at Regent's Park.
Markwick Gardens were formed primarily for the use and pleasure of the residents of Markwick Terrace, some of which was built in the 1860-70s. At that time, the land was owned by the Eversfield Trust and all householders had to pay a guinea a year subscription for the gardens.
Apartments of this stature rarely come to the market making this an exceptional opportunity to own a phenomenal period home. Built in the most superior style with architectural and historical importance including period detailing with grand principal rooms and high ceilings throughout.
Marwick Terrace occupies a fabulous position with a south-facing aspect flooding this grand property with light throughout. The property offers extensive and elegant living space incorporating a beautiful reception room with three south-facing floor-to-ceiling windows with views over Markwick Gardens and south-facing balcony area, perfect for enjoying those long summer days.
Entranced through architectural antique reclaimed French door with decorative wrought ironwork leading through to reception room with exposed original feature brick fireplace, herringbone walnut wood flooring, architectural lighting, decorative cornicing and old school style radiators. Luxury fitted white high gloss kitchen area with breakfast bar, solid butcher block work surfaces, integral stainless steel hob, oven and extractor hood. Integral fridge/freezer, washing machine, double sink with mixer, under counter lights and brushed steel wall sockets. Boutique style shower room with slate flooring, contemporary wash hand basin with waterfall tap, low flush WC, bisque style chrome upright radiator, walk-in power shower with waterfall showerhead, metro ceramic tiling and recessed ceiling spotlights. The shower room also features underfloor heating. Spectacular master bedroom with herringbone walnut wood flooring, old school style radiator, large picture window overlooking rear gardens, industrial architectural lighting, custom built touch open cupboards housing combination gas boiler.
Located in one of St Leonards On Sea's most desirable and sought-after residential enclaves the property is moments from the open spaces of Markwick Gardens and close to the Norman Road and Marina area which offer numerous restaurants and a vibrant foodie scene. The beach and promenade are within walking distance as is Hastings town. Artist open houses run through the spring months along with summer fairs and street parties. Looking for an evening out?
