Set over two floors with panoramic views across Tor Bay, this Marine Palms duplex pairs seaside living with contemporary comfort. Two private terraces and wide glazed openings put the coast at the heart of daily life; the principal suite and lounge both open onto outdoor decking. The bespoke kitchen, engineered oak flooring, feature fireplace and air conditioning give the apartment a refined, low-maintenance feel.
Practicality is strong: a separate laundry room, secure gated undercroft parking with EV charging, and underfloor heating deliver convenience year-round. Built-in wardrobes and generous room proportions suit downsizers who want space for visitors or hobbies without the upkeep of a large house. The building’s conversion from a villa retains period character alongside modern touches and a heritage blue plaque.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold with a very long remaining term (981 years), an average service charge of £3,100 and a nominal ground rent. Council tax is above average. The property is in a mixed, densely settled area with a recorded very high crime level and nearby student neighbourhoods—factors to weigh if tranquillity is a priority.
Overall, Marine Palms offers a high-amenity, seafront duplex ideal for those looking to downsize into a premium coastal apartment with easy parking and strong outdoor space, provided they accept the communal costs and local area characteristics.
