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.

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.

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.

I fell in love with the property the minute I saw it advertised and immediately bought it six years ago. It has been the favourite of all my previous homes in a wonderful community. However, life moves on and I am confident that the new owners will get as much enjoyment out of it this wonderful house, the village and the community as I have. It has been a wonderful home for me and my children and the house and patios lends themselves to entertaining friends and family. The individual “zones” provide intimate spaces to relax or and socialise. Memories of the laughter-filled dinner parties, summer garden parties and barbeques, with the music from the piano in the drawing room drifting through the house, will live with me always. I love the quirkiness and history of the property but I have also valued that internally the house has everything you might need for modern day living. The only enhancement I have made was to further extend the drawing patio with steps to an upper level patio and garden. My commute to London for work is relatively quick and the train services from Wadhurst or Tunbridge Wells is reliable and efficient. Parents are spoilt for choice with the many outstanding private schools in and around East Sussex and Tunbridge Wells, which also include some high performing grammar schools. I love the quiet and peaceful environment at the heart of the medieval village of Mayfield. With its thriving independent shops in the high street, which is a place of gathering for the village to celebrate various events such as the annual Bonfire Society parade, an acclaimed international music festival, Spring fair, Passion Play enactment, that bring the community together socially. There is a plethora of attractive and varied medieval and other period properties, with the high street buttressed by the grandeur of the Bishops Palace first built in 1250 on permission from Pope Alexander IV, now the acclaimed Mayfield Convent School for Girl, as well as pubs and restaurants and the historic 13th century church, St Dunstans, Mayfield’s very own saint. It has a variety of sports and social clubs. The delightful shops including a superb deli, baker, butcher, florist, coffee shop, local convenience store and post office. The village is surrounded by vineyards with many producing world-class English sparkling wines, wine and spirits, some of which are available in the outstanding wine shop in the high street. You can get most essentials and many non-essential items in the village but there is also nearby Heathfield and Crowborough with their supermarkets while Tunbridge Wells is less than 10 miles away for more in depth retail therapy and and entertainment.”

The first thing that strikes you as you send your way down the driveway past the house is the glorious position in which it sits in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Surrounded by its gardens and paddocks the house enjoys the most delightful views over the valley and up towards the gorgeous hilltop village of Mayfield.   Stepping into the house itself you are greeted by a generous reception hall replete with a large brick fireplace (now fitted with a wood burning stove which has a back-boiler, which heats the hot water and the radiator on the landing on the first floor) with an oak Bressummer above and true to its country heritage an ancient rifle (not included).   The kitchen/breakfast room is the cosy heart of the home with its country style units, classic red Rangemaster, traditional white painted beams and unusual Venetian window. The kitchen has a built-in fridge and separate built-in freezer, and a built-in dishwasher. The front window offers a calming view out past a glorious old sycamore tree and beyond to the paddocks. The French Doors at the rear lead out onto the formal gardens and enjoy from your breakfast table the most delightful and far-reaching views. Step out onto the patio to enjoy the same view al fresco whilst remaining shaded by the charming, tiled roof.   The living room is a more modern addition beautifully in keeping with the style and character of the original farmhouse, retaining all its charm. There is an inglenook-style fireplace with an Aga stove and exposed timbers, and the room benefits from superb natural light from its triple aspect windows, including French Doors opening on to the patio and garden and the fabulous views.   A dining room, study, utility room and cloakroom complete the downstairs space and add plenty of flexibility whether you need two home offices, a playroom/den or separate entertaining space.   Upstairs you are blessed with a principal bedroom with a large en-suite bathroom; a modern must have that is often lacking in period farmhouses. This bright light room with its vaulted ceiling and triple aspect is a beautiful space to retire to at the end of the day. Three further double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room, and a good size family bathroom makes room for friends and family alike.   That mixture of practicality and charm continues outside with a generous driveway and triple garage with a large storage room over. The brick potting shed (with gardeners’ toilet) and wood store are charming and the wooden Summerhouse on the upper terrace makes the best of the views.   The gardens are truly delightful; well planted around a central lawn with beautiful space in trees to create all year-round interest and summer shade, and there is a charming vegetable area down by the potting shed. The paddocks are easily accessed from the driveway as is the four bay pole barn. The whole is deemed ideal for equestrian use and measuring 3.155 acres in total. What the owner says;  This has been such a beautiful location to live in surrounded by gorgeous rolling countryside and enjoying the delightful gardens and open fields. The views up towards Mayfield are incredible and make living here very special. I have loved creating an idyllic garden with the inspiration of the National trust’s Batemans ( the family home of Rudyard Kipling) just up the road. There iis plenty odf space for a weel stocked vegetable garden and the various outbuildings are incredibly useful. Heathfield Town is just up the road and caters for all your every day needs. Popping up to Royal Tunbridge Wells or down to the coast to visit Hastings, Brighton or Rye, or simply popping out to any number of pretty villages with local pubs and restaurants or up to London on the train gives you so much choice. Whatever you plan to do returning home to such a delightful, peaceful and calming environment is a true blessing

It is very quiet, peaceful and private with fabulous views. During our time here we have extended the property and completely refurbished and updated the house to provide everything needed for contemporary living. We also created the annex and built the swimming pool as well as planting the vineyard and developed a highly successful winery. Although we live in a country paradise, we are not far from the delightful Eridge village with a mainline station where the direct train to London Bridge takes just under an hour or you can drive to Tunbridge Wells for faster trains to London. There is also a gothic style church, a village hall with a variety of activities as well as two good pub/restaurants. The village grew up around the Grade II Listed  Eridge Park and mansion, which has been the seat of the Earl and Marquess of Abergevenny since 1448.
