About
This substantial and beautifully positioned south-facing two-storey residence offers an exceptionally flexible and well-balanced layout, making it ideally suited to families, multi-generational living or those requiring generous space for home working and leisure.
Enjoying breathtaking 180-degree panoramic sea views from the majority of rooms, Rivendell is a truly distinctive home that stands apart from neighbouring properties both in scale and in historic charm.
Originally constructed in 1931 as one of Saltdean’s earliest homes, the property retains a wealth of original 1930s period features, including decorative stained glass windows, elegant archways and beautifully preserved wooden floorboards.
These characterful details blend seamlessly with the home’s generous proportions to create a warm yet impressive living environment.
Set within an expansive and thoughtfully landscaped plot, the property benefits from a larger-than-average south-facing garden, designed to maximise sunlight throughout the day.
A raised decking area provides an ideal space to relax or entertain while taking in the uninterrupted sea views.
Internally, the accommodation is both practical and inspiring, offering multiple reception rooms, up to five bedrooms and excellent storage throughout.
A fully boarded attic with Velux windows presents further potential for extension or conversion, subject to the necessary consents.
One of the home’s most striking features is the impressive landing room, enhanced by a large picture window framing sweeping sea views - a versatile space ideal for a reading area, studio or additional reception room.
A rare opportunity to acquire a home of this size, character and outlook in such a prominent coastal position.
