About
Green Ridge, Brighton Set within the highly sought-after area of Withdean, this detached three-bedroom home offers a wonderful balance of comfort, character and potential.
Beautifully cared for over the years, it provides generous living spaces, a delightful south-facing garden and easy access to the South Downs National Park, just a short stroll away.
Positioned on a quiet road on the western edge of Preston Valley, the house enjoys a peaceful setting behind a tidy driveway.
Its attractive exterior features a gabled roofline, lattice windows and traditional hung tiles, blending effortlessly with its semi-rural surroundings.
There is ample off-street parking to the front as well as a garage, which could be converted to create additional ground floor accommodation if required.
Inside, the welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of the property.
Two well-proportioned reception rooms offer flexible living space: A comfortable sitting room at the front centres around a wood-burning stove, creating a cosy retreat during the colder months, while the separate dining room opens into a large conservatory.
Heated for year-round use, the conservatory is particularly enjoyable in the warmer seasons when doors can be opened onto the garden for indoor-outdoor dining.
The layout also presents exciting scope for reconfiguration, with potential to create a more open-plan arrangement between the kitchen and dining room, subject to preference.
The kitchen is fitted with sleek white cabinetry, integrated appliances and plentiful storage.
There is space for a breakfast table, and French doors provide direct access to the garden, making it a lovely spot for relaxed meals with views of the greenery beyond.
The rear garden is a standout feature: Mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedging and colourful planting, it offers both privacy and space for children to play.
At the far end sits a substantial garden office, currently arranged as a treatment room.
Complete with a kitchenette, double glazing and electric heating, it lends itself to a variety of uses, from home working to a gym, studio or guest accommodation.
Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms are accompanied by three bathrooms.
Each bedroom comfortably accommodates larger furnishings, with the third bedroom enjoying triple-aspect views over the garden and street.
The principal bedroom benefits from a southerly outlook and an en suite bathroom fitted with a full-size bath and overhead shower.
A family bathroom and an additional shower room help to ensure busy mornings run smoothly.
There is also potential to create a fourth bedroom, either by converting the loft space or reconfiguring the existing en suite.
Vendor's Comments: "We’ve truly loved our time here and have created so many special memories along the way.

This house has these qualities in abundance, sitting on an attractive and peaceful road on the border of the South Downs..
The views are green and leafy in every direction making it hard to believe you are so close to the city.
Perfect for families with children of all ages, this house is ideally located within catchment for some of the city's highest achieving schools, nurseries and colleges, and transport links by train or car are excellent to London or along the South Coast in either direction.
There are several supermarkets within a 5-minute drive, or plenty of local shops within walking distance, plus the city's theatres, restaurants and nightlife are a 10-minute cab ride away.
There is a genuine sense of community on the road, so for families looking for their 'forever-home' in a highly attractive area of the city, this property is simply perfect.
