Fantastic Art Deco apartment block located in a popular seaside town close to both the town centre and the seafront. There are 36 apartments in 3 blocks of 12 over 4 floors. The interior has recently been totally refurbished to a high standard with the paintwork colour a close match to the original 1937 design. The centre block features double entrance doors opening into an inner hall with period furniture, a magnificent stairwell with copper handrails and fittings leading up to the third floor crowned by a copula. The original working lifts have concertina doors, an inner cage door and veneered panelling which has been French polished. The ‘H’ shaped block has separate entrances to the east and west which whilst not as ornate as the centre, have their own interesting stairwell features along with the copper fittings and original working lifts. All flats in each block have new front doors which have been sympathetically installed to resemble the originals and incorporate period door furniture. Outside there are lovely communal gardens to the front and rear, bike shed and a car park. In addition, you could also have access to one of the apartments which has many period features and contains an extensive collection of art deco furniture, paintings, objet d’art and apparel – see location 9487. A stunning location for filming and photography!
