Move Sussex are delighted to present this rarely available detached family home, occupying an elevated position within the highly desirable Ratton area of Eastbourne.
Individually built by the current owners, this is an exceptional opportunity to purchase a home with enormous potential on a generous wrap-around plot.
Offering fantastic scope to modernise and add value, this is the perfect purchase for buyers looking to create their dream home in one of Eastbourne's most sought-after residential addresses.
With spacious accommodation, wrap-around gardens, a private driveway, garage and breathtaking potential, opportunities like this are few and far between.
The welcoming entrance hall provides access to all principal ground floor rooms.
The impressive triple-aspect living room stretches over 31ft, flooding the space with natural light and enjoying views across the surrounding gardens, with patio doors opening directly onto a private patio.
A separate dining room flows into the conservatory, creating excellent entertaining space overlooking further garden space.
The kitchen/breakfast room offers generous proportions with ample storage and worktop space, providing an excellent canvas for a contemporary redesign.
Also on the ground floor is a separate study room, which could also be used as a ground floor bedroom for those who need a 4th bedroom. A ground floor WC is located off the main hallway.
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, with the two principal bedrooms enjoying elevated views across Eastbourne and out to the sea.
The spacious family bathroom is fitted with a bath, corner shower, twin wash basins and WC. Outside is where this home truly stands apart.
A long private driveway provides extensive off-road parking before leading to the garage, while the mature wrap-around gardens create a wonderful sense of privacy and space.
Mainly laid to lawn with several patio areas, the gardens offer endless potential for landscaping, extension (subject to the necessary planning permissions) or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Homes in Upper Ratton with this level of potential, privacy and plot size are exceptionally rare, making this a superb opportunity for families, developers or buyers looking to create a truly special forever home.
