The Nook Ovingdean Road, Brighton, BN2 7BB

A wonderfully unique Grade II Listed flint cottage, full of warmth and character, quietly tucked away in a private cul-de-sac in the historic village of Ovingdean.

Built between 1792 and 1795 as part of the Ovingdean Hall Farm complex, it offers that rare blend of charm, privacy and open views across rolling farmland, all while being just a 15-minute stroll to the beach and a quick 10-minute drive along the coast into Brighton.

There are two ways into the property. One entrance sits to the side of the cottage, opening into a porch with a handy WC before leading through to the kitchen.

The other is via a wooden gate and into the cottage’s sunny south-westerly garden, where a purple stable door opens straight into the living room.

Inside, the living space is welcoming and full of character, with original floorboards, wooden-framed windows and a beautiful brick fireplace with oak beams.

It flows naturally into a bright dining area or study space.

The kitchen, just two years old, has been thoughtfully designed to complement the cottage’s country style, with grey shaker cabinetry, composite worktops, a butler sink with bronze tap and green metro tiles.

Tucked neatly into the corner is a practical utility area, keeping the washing machine and household essentials out of sight.

Upstairs, the cottage continues its gentle charm with three bedrooms, all with wooden-framed windows offering glimpses of the surrounding views, and a contemporary bathroom (three years old) featuring a white suite, tiled bath surround, vanity unit and great storage.

A hand-painted vine detail adds a lovely touch of nature. There is excellent storage throughout, including an airing cupboard, a nook above the stairs and a partially boarded loft.

The outside space is a real highlight.

Alongside the main south-westerly garden, there are two additional lawned areas, perfect for catching the last of the evening sun, growing your own veg or simply settling into a quiet corner.

Mature trees, shrubs, flint walls and lattice fencing frame the gardens beautifully, giving the whole setting the feel of a private hideaway. A dedicated parking space completes the picture.

This is a home with history, character and a wonderfully peaceful setting, yet still perfectly connected to everything Brighton and the coastline have to offer.
