Brighton Pier and the Royal Pavillion is a short 10 minute walk, city centre 15 minutes and train station 20 minutes. Bedford House Apartment is a basement apartment accommodating the lower ground floor of Bedford House; a Grade 2 listed Regency house built around 1810. The house has an interesting and varied history having potentially been first built (as a detached house) for the Duke of Bedford. From the mid to late 1800s the house was a guest house for visiting gentry coming to Brighton to take the "sea air". 100 years later the house became the home of the impressionist artist Cecil D'Oyly John and subsequently the playwright Sir Terence Rattigan. Famous actors such as Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh have been frequent guests to the house. The apartment has recently undergone extensive modernisation and refurbishment and now offers an Art Deco styled cinema room with a 75" TV, surround sound as well as a bar and dining area. The bar area offers all the facilities to enjoy a relaxing drink including a wine fridge, cocktail set and a wide range of glasses. With a double width LED lit staircase and electric curtains covering the TV this room provides a bit of theatre not to mention an ideal space for small groups of friends or family to gather to have fun celebrating a special occasion or reunion. Your own music can be played through the surround sound speakers using a bluetooth connection from your smartphone or tablet. There are 3 Art Deco styled bedrooms. The main bedroom boasts a super king size bed with original 1920s dressing table. The two other bedrooms have 2 singles in each room, all with double sized quilts. The "Sueno" beds and tempur cloud support hypoallergenic pillows ensure a good night's sleep. Two bathrooms with walk in showers and underfloor heating can be found at opposite ends of the apartment: one close to the bedrooms and the other next to the cinema room. The kitchen has a 1950s look with aluminium "English Rose" units, formica work tops and Smeg retro appliances which include: an induction hob; oven; grill; fridge; freezer; dishwasher; kettle; toaster and microwave. A Meile washing machine and tumble dryer, along with iron and ironing board can be found in one of the bedrooms. The apartment has fibre optic wifi but please note that mobile phone signal strength may be weak unless close to a window. A private entrance with keyless self check in/out means you do not need to have any interaction with other people outside your party if you are concerned about social distancing. Professional cleaners are used between bookings to do Covid 19 cleans. Please note that 10 steps need to be descended to get to the front door and there are a further 12 steps down into the cinema room. The apartment may not therefore be suitable for very young children or those with mobility issues. Metered parking is available nearby and the apartment can be easily reached by bus and taxi from the train station. As the apartment is on the lower ground there are no direct sea views and no outdoor space. For guests visiting on business both the Amex European HQ building and Brighton & Sussex County Hospital are located a short 10 minute walk. Both universities can be easily reached by bus and taxi. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car not required ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Freezer - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Hypo-allergenic bedding ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Free toiletries - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - TV ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city centre - Near a hospital - Near the marina - Near the ocean ### Things to do - Casino nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102330000/102323900/102323838/4e2273b2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Regency Style Spacious Seaview Apartment.

Had a lovely stay at Bedford House! 10/10, would stay again. Warm welcome from Luke, very helpful with things to do in the local area. Ideal spot close to all amenities with plenty to do for all. ##### Ashley B. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason B. 17 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A very special and unique property. A very special and unique venue for a weekend away, beautiful interior and features. We very much enjoyed all the entertainment areas, a well equipped kitchen, a stunning bar to sit and chat over a perfectly chilled wine. Then a wow factor tv screen. Great to be right on Brighton’s front just had to readjust to a basement venue ,reduced daylight during the day. Seating is ideal for movies not so much for communal lounging. But being where it’s located, it’s so easy to find a coffee shop. 100% recommend and hope to be back in the future. ##### Jason B.
