Elevated above the city along the coast, the apartments of Bedford Towers are rewarded with some of the most exceptional views taking in vast swathes of land, sea and sky.

Designed with both entertaining and comfort in mind, this apartment offers the best of both worlds with space to work, rest and play, plus it is ideally positioned between the promenade and the fashionable bars, restaurants and boutique shops of Western Road.

Why you’ll like it:
Elevated high about the seafront promenade in a striking Mid-Century building; this incredible apartment enjoys stunning views across the city. It is found within a Modernist development: Bedford Towers, which was the work of ‘Swiss-British’ architect Richard Seifert in 1967, built on the site of the old Bedford Hotel. The hotel has retained the lower five-floors, but the upper eleven are for private resident use – where no holiday lets are allowed, so there is a long standing, welcoming community who live here. Well-managed and maintained by a 6-days per week porter and concierge, the communal ways are immaculate, and a lift with private code takes you to your floor. Your door is clearly numbered along a well-lit, mahogany lined corridor, but you can stop off first at the secure storage cupboard for this flat which has ample space for water sports equipment and bikes – which also fit perfectly in the service lift.
Reception Room:
Stepping inside, you are greeted into a generous entrance hall where is immediately clear this is a stylish and immaculate apartment filled with natural light. Double doors open to the main reception room which is open plan to the kitchen, although it is recessed so it does not dominate the space. There are clearly defined areas for formal dining and relaxed seating from which you can enjoy the incredible vista over church spiers and chimney stacks below open skies. Facing west, warm light filters in during the afternoon, and the sunsets are magnificent. A wall of glazed doors opens seamlessly to the sun terrace which wraps around the north westerly corner offering ample space for drinks and dining alfresco as the sun goes down over the sea. This is a wonderful extension of the home, ideal for entertaining in style, and being covered, it can be used in all weathers. The current owners have gained planning permission to extend their property to enclose the terrace within their living space – although this does require permission from the freeholder. It would considerably increase the living space to make it even more versatile.
Kitchen:
Open plan to the living space, the kitchen is a sociable space with streamlined, handle-free, grey gloss units at both wall and base levels. Hardwearing resin worktops in white bring both form and function to the room, and the sink has been thoughtfully placed below the window, so there are sea views to wash up to. For larger loads, there is an integrated dishwasher, plus space for both an American fridge freezer (not included), although there is an integrated undercounter fridge and freezer already in place alongside the fan oven and induction hob.
Bedroom 2:
Passing a useful utility cupboard with space for two stacked machines, plus a second, deep cupboard for household items, both bedrooms are peacefully tucked away from the main living areas. Bedroom two is a beautiful double room with soft grey carpet underfoot and windows running along the entire length of the wall. From the bed you can star gaze or watch the clouds float by, and energy efficient double glazing ensures it is perfectly warm and peaceful whatever the weather. Even with a king size bed, a wall of built-in wardrobes and several pieces of freestanding furniture, the floor space is not compromised, the main bathroom is conveniently opposite.
Main Bathroom:
The epitome of luxury, the main bathroom is lined in split-face slate around the jacuzzi corner bath which has ample space for two, with a wall mounted waterfall tap and temperature controls, so you can relax at either end in complete comfort after a long day. Carefully considered, there is storage for toiletries in a vanity unit below the basin and an LED touch light mirror on the wall to complete the contemporary scheme.
Principal Bedroom Suite:
At the far end of the hallway, the principal bedroom suite enjoys the same city and skyscapes as bedroom two, although it is a larger room with access to the en suite shower room. Once more, built-in wardrobes provide plenty of clothes and shoe storage while maximising the floor space. Echoing the style of the main bathroom, the en suite features chic urban wall and floor tiles and a streamlined gloss vanity unit below the basin and mirror. To fully revive you each morning, the over-sized rainfall shower is ceiling mounted for full effect within the roomy shower enclosure which also has a hand wand and wall controls.
Agent’s thoughts:
Streamlined, stylish and spacious, this apartment is ready to move straight into. The views are a joy and the location cannot be beaten for the quintessential Brighton & Hove lifestyle by the sea.<br /><br />This exceptional apartment is situated in a popular area with plenty of local amenities and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts; the many restaurants and theatres within the town, and several popular parks and schools are also within easy reach, and Brighton Station is a stroll away for those requiring fast links to the airports and London.
