About the home

Marine Court – built in 1937 – is an iconic Art Deco residential building, originally designed as an apartment hotel for people seeking a pied-a-terre in St Leonards on Sea. The apartment many of the original 1930’s features, including original door handles, heating panel, kitchen (with ‘50’s additions), and bath room. They have all been restored; with modern adaptations. The South facing windows look directly onto the sea and promenade. On Sunday mornings you will be able to view the yacht club launch directly in front of the windows.

Situated directly on the coast near to Hastings, the building is referred to locally as The Ship, as its design is based on the Queen Mary liner, and looks as though it is at sea when viewed from Hastings Castle area.

The area has a wealth of wonderful castles and historic buildings, including Battle Abbey, site of the battle of Hastings. There are beautiful local nature reserves for walks - including the 1066 coastal walkway, bird watching and scenic views. St Leonards and Hastings has attracted a range of artists, so there are a wide range of galleries, studios and live music venues to cater to all tastes.

Rye, Bexhill - with its restored Art Deco De LA Warr Pavillion, and Winchelsea are all easy to get to from the apartment.

St Leonards-on-Sea is part of Hastings, East Sussex, England, lying immediately to the west of the centre. The original part of the settlement was laid out in the early 19th century as a new town: a place of elegant houses designed for the well-off; it also included a central public garden, a hotel, an archery, assembly rooms and a church, designed by Decimus Burton. Today’s St Leonards has extended well beyond that original design, although the original town still exists within it.

Hastings is located on the coast of East Sussex in England and is famous through its connection with the Norman conquest of England; and also because it became one of the medieval Cinque Ports. Hastings was, for centuries, an important fishing port and has the largest beach-based fishing fleet in England.

Part of what makes this apartment so special is the direct view on the sea and promonade. You could not get closer. It is lovely to view the sea during the day, and watch the moonlight reflected on the sea at night - all from the comfort of your own room!

Further details outdoors:
Local unrestricted parking at the back of the building.
