Why you’ll like it:
Bedford Towers is a modernist development designed by ‘Swiss-British’ architect Richard Seifert back in 1967, built on the site of the old Bedford Hotel. The hotel has retained the lower six-floors, but the upper eleven are for private resident use – where no holiday lets or pets are allowed, so there is a long standing, peaceful and welcoming community who live here. Accessed through the hotel, the communal ways are well-managed and maintained 6-days per week by a porter and concierge. Immaculate in a striking Mid-Century style, two tall lifts await to whisk you to your floor and along a mahogany lined corridor to your door. This apartment also benefits from sole use of a secure storage cupboard on the 9th floor which has ample space for water sports equipment and bikes – which also fit perfectly in the service lift.

Stepping inside, there are two deep cupboards to house household items, shoes and coats to ensure the entrance remains clutter free. Luxury patterned carpet makes way for herringbone flooring in the living and dining room where you will be bowled over by the incredible vista framed by full width windows lining the box bay of the sunroom at the far end. While this room is an extension of the dining area, it feels like a room in its own right, with space to sit quietly enjoying the views, to dine or to read. It is immediately clear this is a stylish and immaculate apartment designed to take full advantage of the beachfront location.

These views change with the seasons, but also throughout the day from the orange skies of sunrise, to the deep pinks of sunset, followed by the city lights and stars of the night-time – simply breath-taking!

Built with sound and heat insulation in mind, the heating for the building is integrated, but it can be switched off at individual thermostats when not required. It is a naturally warm apartment due to the glazing which also ensures it is completely quiet. Neighbours cannot be heard as the floors and ceilings are solid, so it becomes a real retreat for a City Centre apartment.

Open plan to the room, the kitchen is streamlined and stylish with seamless white cabinetry topped with stone and fitted with integrated appliances to include a fan oven, fridge freezer, washing machine, induction hob and dishwasher, alongside plenty of storage solutions for food and kitchen equipment.

Both bedrooms are double with the principal room enjoying built-in wardrobes which maximise the floor space. The smaller bedroom has ample space for a double bed and freestanding bedroom furniture, and both have easy access to the luxury bathroom. In here, marbled tiles line the walls and the bath panel while all fixtures and fittings are on trend in brushed gold. A unique LED circular light will illuminate your best features and there is a rainfall shower over the bath.
