luxury houses with reception room for sale Brighton, United Kingdom
Seaside house with garden and terrace Brighton (United Kingdom)
Bedford House sits proudly as an end of terrace residence on Brighton’s iconic Marine Parade. With sweeping views across the English Channel, this exceptional home marries Regency splendour with modern convenience. A luxury cinema room, a sun filled south facing courtyard and a sea facing balcony are complemented by off street parking, secured behind an electric gate. The property also includes a glamorous three bedroom apartment on the lower ground floor, providing superb guest accommodation or the option to rent independently. Standing within the East Cliff conservation area, Bedford House has a rich and colourful history. The house was built around 1810 (potentially for the Duke of Bedford) and later became home to the painter Cecil D’Oyly John (a favourite of the Queen Mother), the playwright Sir Terence Rattigan and more recently the theatrical agent Roger Hancock. Many celebrity friends of these previous owners including Vivien Leigh, Margaret Leighton and Laurence Olivier were welcomed here. Rattigan’s previous ownership is commemorated by a Regency Society blue plaque. A detailed narrative of the rich history of this stunning sea-side home, meticulously compiled by the current owner is available on request. Upon arrival to the raised ground floor, great care has been taken to honour and preserve the character shaped by its influential occupants. The reclaimed sweeping staircase, installed in the 1960s by Sir Terence Rattigan to impress his famous guests with a dramatic entrance, remains the striking centrepiece. From here, the reception room opens through a grand archway, with natural light pouring through tall windows set above oak stained panelling. This enormous space is still made wonderfully inviting and cosy thanks to the clever mixture of, the Chesneys wood burning stove set within the white carrarra marble fireplace, the cast iron radiators all then complimented with Brinton Tartan carpet throughout. To the other side of the house, the handmade real wood kitchen and breakfast room achieves the perfect balance of modern design and period charm. An Everhot electric range offers three ovens alongside induction and a traditional iron griddle, while high specification Miele appliances include a steam combi oven, microwave, two fridges, two freezers and a dishwasher. No expense has been spared, with walnut drawers seamlessly matching the bespoke solid walnut table and the walnut engineered flooring. Bespoke cabinetry by Woodworks of Brighton speaks to the meticulous attention the owners have poured into every detail, ensuring day to day living feels effortless while entertaining remains truly impressive. A particularly rare and delightful feature is the sliding curved wooden sash shutters within the bay. Discreetly positioned on this level, the guest WC continues the theme of considered luxury with Verde Guatemala Marble, original Drummond fittings and Lefroy Brooks lighting. On the first floor, the grand drawing room is a showpiece of period craftsmanship, set against a breathtaking backdrop of sea and sky. Ornate plaster cast ceilings are enhanced with gilded accents, while a beautiful open marble fireplace sits beneath the elegant proportions. The luxurious Teak wooden flooring is complimented by the floor to ceiling windows which open onto a wrought iron balcony, creating a room that is both dramatic and serene. Much of the wood panelling was reclaimed from a 1720s country house by previous owners who transformed the property between 1967 and 1988. Their restoration included employing a gilder for a full month to decorate the plasterwork and sourcing the working marble fireplace from the ballroom of the Cadbury family’s London house. Adorning the walls are four paintings by the celebrated artist and former owner Cecil D’Oyly John (Sold subject to separate negotiation) Across the hallway, the tranquil study offers a quiet retreat and a fantastic space for calm and creativity. The bookcases which frame the original Georgian fireplace and cover the opposite wall were installed in Rattigan’s ownership, a room where he likely spent many hours in creative thought writing amongst other things his play “Man and Boy” which is currently playing at the National Theatre in London. A bust of Sir Terence Rattigan will remain in place, offering a fitting connection to the home’s remarkable past. The principal suite enjoys captivating views of the beach and sea, with luxury designer wallpaper by Timorous Beasties bringing a playful elegance to the space. A dedicated dressing room offers extensive storage, finished with hand painted, solid wood wardrobes and walnut drawer interiors. For added practicality, a washing machine and tumble dryer are neatly incorporated, set on concrete plinths to minimise sound and vibration – a modern luxury in a period home! The ensuite is finished to an exceptionally high standard with a Lusso stone bath, toilet and basin, Lefroy Brooks lighting finished with surrounds of gorgeous Spanish black marble, which is streaked with a stunning mass of white lines. Rising to the second floor, the west wing holds the Margaret Leighton Suite, named in tribute to Rattigan’s muse. He originally created a pink ensuite for her, and the current owners have honoured this history by updating the bathroom with underfloor heating, a marble mosaic tiled floor and a drench style shower. A signed photograph of Margaret Leighton will remain with the home. On the third floor, the final bedroom was historically two rooms but has been reconfigured to create a generous guest suite. With a substantial walk-in wardrobe and a private ensuite, visitors are afforded both comfort and privacy in equal measure. Two loft spaces offer plenty of storage. Descending to the lower ground floor you will find a particularly special art-deco inspired three double bedroom, two bathroom apartment. This space can be accessed either via an internal bespoke staircase, or its own street entrance should you wish to keep it separate. What makes this floor particularly special is the extraordinary cinema room, perfectly suited to the film star guests who once frequented this period property. This Art Deco inspired room is a complete indulgence, with a stunning stained-glass entrance, a lit staircase and a high gloss rosewood and Birdseye maple bar. Electric curtains open to reveal the large TV, wired with surround sound, it offers a true cinematic experience for both film and television. The granite topped bar includes a double Klarstein wine cooler, along with a Miele fridge and dishwasher. The whole floor has been extensively renovated to include tanking to the cinema room, soundproofed bedroom ceilings, new heating and electrics, new windows and its own separate hot water tank. The only part of this level that isn’t art deco is the eye-catching kitchen, which has repurposed some of the 1950’s cabinetry previously used for the main kitchen above. The English Rose aluminium design has been skilfully restored, updated, and carefully remodelled to now fit this level. Former owners Roger and Annie Hancock, Roger being the brother of comedian Tony Hancock and a theatrical agent representing the likes of Spike Milligan, Frankie Howard, Peter Sellers, created the first cinema room here, complete with a projector suspended from the ceiling, further celebrating the home’s longstanding connection to the arts. To the front, behind a walled perimeter, the south facing courtyard patio is bathed in sunlight throughout the day and provides a wonderful setting for al fresco dining or a quiet morning coffee. Finished in Indian sandstone and supported by an irrigation system, it offers both style and ease of maintenance. To the side, the property benefits from off street parking for one large vehicle, complete with an electric charging point and accessed via an electric gate that complements the walled courtyard beautifully. Marine Parade forms the most distinguished stretches of Kemp Town’s celebrated seafront, positioned directly opposite the beach.

As you sweep onto the forecourt with its ornate circular central flower bed you can begin to appreciate the appeal of this lovely family home with its imposing chimneystacks, variable roof lines and bargeboards as well as bay and casement windows. The covered porch leads to the stunning reception hall that sets the tone for this charming home with a log burning stove that heats the downstairs and immediately surrounds you with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that continues as you move throughout the house.

No where is this better illustrated than in the almost 36ft lounge/dining room with its angled box bay window and stone fireplace with a second log burner and is ideal for entertaining. This elegant room has a glazed door to the large, wood framed conservatory that has slate tiled flooring, lovely views over the swimming pool and the garden and is big enough room to provide additional seating and dining areas.

What the owners say: As soon as we saw the house we fell in love with the spacious rooms, the warm and friendly atmosphere and the grounds as well as the far-reaching views. While we are surrounded by more than 12 acres of grounds and woodland we are not far from the main road for very easy access to Tunbridge Wells and East Grinstead, but we hardly notice any noise and when we are in the garden and the swimming pool, we just enjoy the sound of the birds and the sight of the deer wandering through the grounds.

Contemporary house with pool and garden London (United Kingdom)
Set at the end of a sweeping drive through historic parkland, a rare and captivating country estate, one that seamlessly blends architectural grandeur, cutting edge modern comfort and an extraordinary sense of heritage. Immaculately refurbished to the highest standard, the house has been thoughtfully restored for contemporary family living while celebrating the craftsmanship and character of its period origins. From the moment you step inside, the scale and elegance are unmistakable. The stately entrance and inner halls form the heart of the home, rising dramatically to a double-height gallery above. Limestone floors, intricate cornicing and domed ceilings create a sense of occasion, while original parquet flooring and open fireplaces add warmth and authenticity. Technology has been discreetly integrated, with underfloor heating to the ground floor and first-floor bathrooms, alongside Sonos audio and a Crestron home management system controlling lighting, climate, curtains and entertainment at the touch of a tablet or smartphone. The house occupies an elevated position on Holwood Hill, commanding far reaching southerly views across rolling countryside. Two areas of woodland frame the property, creating a natural avenue and a picturesque vista. Ground Floor: - The principal reception rooms flow beautifully from the central halls, each designed to make the most of the breathtaking southerly views across the estate. The music hall is a particular highlight, with its elegant proportions and panoramic outlook over rolling parkland. The drawing room, dining room, games room and kitchen/breakfast room all enjoy generous sash windows and French doors, bathing the interiors in natural light and creating a wonderful connection to the grounds beyond. At the centre of family life sits the magnificent Clive Christian kitchen. With a dramatic double-height ceiling and expansive roof lights, it is both striking and supremely practical. A library mezzanine overlooks part of the breakfast area, creating a relaxed yet refined space for reading or quiet work. From here, the house opens effortlessly into the family room, which in turn leads directly into the newly refurbished swimming pool complex and annexe, perfect for year-round entertaining. Beneath the house, the substantial cellar offers yet more lifestyle flexibility. A large central entertaining space, referred to as the Shisha Lounge, is complemented by two gyms and newly installed communications, boiler and heating systems as well as a generous laundry room. The ground floor is completed by a private study, Champagne bar/Snooker room, four car garage, cloakroom, powder room and a fully insulated cinema room with surround sound for evenings at home. First Floor - A grand sweeping staircase leads to the first-floor accommodation, where space and privacy have been beautifully balanced. The principal suite forms a luxurious private retreat, complete with two dressing rooms, an elegant en suite bathroom and its own sitting room, all overlooking the parkland and valley beyond. Two further bedrooms in this wing interconnect and share a bathroom, ideal for children or guests. The pillared central gallery looks down over the inner hall and gives access to a further bedroom suite, a nursery and a dedicated guest wing with two additional bedroom suites. A separate landing connects back to the library mezzanine and down to the kitchen below. The leisure facilities at Holwood are exceptional. The swimming pool complex has been refurbished to a luxury spa-level specification, with a steam room, sauna, two rainforest showers, pool table and a wet lounge.

Separate stairs lead to a fully self-contained housekeeper's apartment with two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and living room, ideal for staff or independent living. Gardens And Grounds - The setting of Holwood House is truly extraordinary. The approach winds gently through landscaped parkland originally sculpted by Decimus Burton, immediately instilling a sense of arrival and privacy. The house occupies an elevated position on Holwood Hill, commanding far-reaching southerly views across rolling countryside. Two areas of woodland frame the property, creating a natural avenue and a picturesque vista visible from many of the principal rooms and bedrooms. To the rear, the estate includes a secondary drive, tennis court, walled garden and an elegant garden pavilion to the west. To the east, a newly constructed machinery store, also suitable as a helicopter hangar, adds a discreet yet highly practical modern touch. History - Few houses can claim a history as rich or as influential as Holwood, and fewer still combine such pedigree with effortless modern living. The site itself is recorded as an Iron Age fort, Caesar's Camp, and has long been recognised for its strategic and scenic importance. In the late 18th century, Holwood became the cherished retreat of William Pitt the Younger, Britain's youngest ever Prime Minister, who commissioned Sir John Soane to remodel the house and transform the surrounding landscape. It was here, beneath a great oak tree in 1787, that Pitt famously encouraged William Wilberforce to begin the parliamentary campaign to abolish the slave trade. The house was later rebuilt in its current classical Georgian form by the celebrated architect Decimus Burton in 1827. Over the centuries, Holwood has welcomed an extraordinary roll call of visitors and residents, including Charles Darwin, who conducted experiments in the grounds, and Winston Churchill, who dined here regularly during the Second World War. Today, the house and grounds are Grade I listed, reflecting their exceptional historical significance. Location And Lifestyle - Holwood House enjoys an elevated, private position just east of the charming village of Keston, which offers a village hall, pub and post office. More extensive shopping can be found in Bromley, with Sevenoaks under 14 miles away. The area is renowned for its excellent schooling, with a wide selection of highly regarded independent and state schools within easy reach. Fast rail services from Orpington and Bromley South provide swift access into central London, while the M25 is readily accessible. Golfers are well served by nearby courses including Chelsfield Lakes, West Kent and Lullingstone Park. Biggin Hill Airport is just 1.7 miles away, with Gatwick and London City also within comfortable reach. Holwood House is not simply a home; it is a private estate of rare beauty and historical importance, offering a lifestyle defined by space, privacy, elegance and connection to both countryside and city.
