Henry Tanner is best known for designing the Park Lane Hotel, not to mention the Dickens & Jones Department Store, Strand Palace Hotel, Oceanic House for the White Star Line at Pall Mall. So we’re talking an architect with pedigree. Like those places, you suspect Motcombe Court was a place for the affluent set back in the day too.

The fourth floor apartment for sale here still retains that grandeur and the all-important sea views, so you can be greeted by the tides each and every morning. It also retains some of the period features too, although the feel is perhaps ‘retro modern’ once inside.
