Buying a second home sounds wonderful - it’s your retreat, the place you can really switch off and relax, bring your family and friends and spend quality time with those special people. The reality however involves a lot of work, especially at the beginning.

When those precious hours of leisure are spent creating your idyllic retreat it can feel like you would have more relaxation at home. Buying furniture and arranging delivery for example, choosing décor or new kitchen and bathrooms from local suppliers, and organizing contractors and decorators from a distance and under time pressure can be a challenge.

The last remaining apartment at Azure has all the answers. This two bedroom penthouse show home has been decorated and furnished with beautiful designer wallpaper, carefully chosen decorative items, feature paintwork and luxury furniture and occasional pieces. And it is all included in the price. Simply turn the key, move in and start getting on with the really important part – enjoying your down time. You only need to bring a suitcase.

Azure is an Art Deco inspired development in an elevated position on Rottingdean seafront, with amazing direct sea views across the idyllic rock and shingle beach. It offers the ideal de-stress, and the only sounds, when you open the sliding doors from each bedroom and from the living room, are the sound of the sea on the shingle, and the cry of the gulls. Set just a few steps from the quaint village high street, with its charming little boutiques, pubs and tea rooms, Azure residents can enjoy the simple pleasures. However, the great city centre of Brighton is only three miles away, with plentiful bus services along the coast road, so there is no shortage of world class leisure, dining, shopping and nightlife within easy reach.

The perfect second home awaits you at Azure therefore. The luxurious penthouse is £950,000 and is ready for occupation now. Call Mishon Mackay New Homes 01273 829300 or David Webb Residential 01273 300525 or email newhomes@mishonmackay.com for your appointment to view.
