Occupying the coveted south-west corner of the first floor within the prestigious Aqua Vista development, this exceptional three double bedroom apartment combines contemporary luxury with uninterrupted panoramic sea views. Built in 2017 and comprehensively refurbished in 2023, Aqua Vista offers an exclusive coastal lifestyle with secure accommodation, generous outside space and the rare benefit of a private garage.
A spacious entrance hall provides access to all principal rooms. The impressive principal bedroom enjoys direct access to the private rear patio garden, which spans the full width of the apartment to create a peaceful retreat away from the seafront. Fitted wardrobes provide ample storage, whilst a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room features a generous walk-in shower.
The second double bedroom also benefits from built-in wardrobes, while the third offers flexible accommodation, ideal as a guest bedroom, home office or additional reception space. A stylish contemporary family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
Throughout the apartment, underfloor heating provides discreet and efficient comfort, while elegant plantation shutters have been fitted throughout, enhancing both privacy and the overall sense of quality. As part of the comprehensive refurbishment programme completed in 2023, the apartment was fully redecorated and new carpets were installed throughout the bedrooms, creating an interior that presents in exceptional, near-new condition.
The true centrepiece of the home is the spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. With a dual south and west-facing aspect, this outstanding space is flooded with natural light throughout the day while framing breathtaking, ever-changing views across the English Channel.
In 2023, the original developer-installed kitchen was completely removed and replaced with a significantly upgraded bespoke kitchen of far higher specification, designed to maximise both storage and practicality while creating a superb entertaining space. A striking central island forms the focal point, complemented by luxurious stone worktops, extensive soft-close cabinetry and an exceptional range of premium integrated appliances, including a Stoves Sterling Deluxe range cooker with advanced induction hob and three independently controlled ovens, a Liebherr fridge/freezer, Fisher & Paykel double-drawer dishwasher, Bosch Eco washing machine, combination microwave oven, integrated wine chiller and a Quooker tap providing instant boiling water. The result is a beautifully designed kitchen that combines outstanding functionality with contemporary elegance.
The living area opens seamlessly onto an outstanding sea-facing terrace measuring approximately 20ft x 19ft. This remarkable outdoor space provides a natural extension of the interior, offering the perfect setting for al fresco dining, entertaining guests or simply relaxing whilst enjoying the uninterrupted coastal panorama.
As part of the 2023 refurbishment, the original timber decking was replaced with premium Millboard moulded decking, chosen for its exceptional durability, low-maintenance qualities and long-term performance. Resistant to warping and staining and supported by a 25-year manufacturer's guarantee, this high-quality installation ensures the terrace remains both attractive and practical for many years to come.
Further benefits include a private garage with electric door, conveniently positioned directly opposite the main entrance, together with a private storage cupboard located within the communal entrance hall.
Perfectly positioned just a short stroll from the heart of Rottingdean village, Aqua Vista enjoys one of the area's most sought-after locations. The historic village offers an excellent selection of independent cafés, restaurants, traditional public houses and everyday amenities, creating a thriving community atmosphere. Local favourites include The Plough, The White Horse, The Coach House, Deveson's Greengrocers and the village Post Office, whilst the picturesque Kipling Gardens and the former home of Rudyard Kipling add to the village's rich heritage. The historic Queen Victoria, the village's oldest public house, is currently undergoing renovation ahead of its anticipated reopening.
