This home is an Art Deco themed showstopper that would delight any aspiring flapper. With bespoke 1920's themed furniture and original retro features, a stay here is like stepping back in time to the Jazz Age. We especially love the mirrored cocktail bar, worthy of any speakeasy, and the impressive home cinema with its red bucket chairs and huge TV hidden behind a theatrical curtain. The kitchen is a retro daydream with its restored English Rose units and the bedrooms continue the Art Nouveau theme to the letter (the dressing table in the master bedroom is just like something your grandmother would’ve had). What takes this flat from gimmick to somewhere truly special though is its history as the former home of playwright Sir Terrance Rattigan who wrote many famous works set in the roaring 20s. The location is the bee’s knees too. You’re a five-minute stroll from Brighton’s pebbled seafront and a twenty-minute walk from the city centre. Spend your days exploring the artisan cafés, flea markets and promenading on the front before mixing a highball at the bar and settling in for a showing of a Golden Age movie.
