About
Located on a sought-after cul-de-sac in the heart of Rottingdean, this outstanding detached home offers a rare combination of peace, space and coastal views. It is wonderfully quiet here.
You can hear the birds, see the sea and yet still stroll into the village in around 15 minutes.
With access to the South Downs National Park close by, the setting perfectly balances countryside and coast.
Set well back from the road, the house sits behind an extensive brick driveway providing excellent private parking for multiple vehicles.
Steps rise gradually to the front veranda and front door, creating a welcoming approach.
The front garden is beautifully landscaped with established trees and shrubs, adding privacy and greenery from the outset.
Inside, this is an amazingly welcoming family home, with generous room sizes and a natural flow throughout.
The reception hallway offers useful understairs storage along with additional cupboards, immediately highlighting the practical layout.
A ground floor shower room is fully tiled and ideal for guests or busy family life. The living room is a superb dual aspect space, enjoying sea views to the front and garden views to the rear.
It is a room that lends itself perfectly to zoning.
Armchairs can sit in front of the window to take in the view, sofas can be arranged around the fireplace for cosy evenings, and a dining area can sit neatly round the corner.
Equally, it could work beautifully as a playroom or more formal entertaining space depending on your needs. A door opens directly onto the garden, enhancing that connection between inside and out.
The modern white kitchen overlooks the rear garden and features a breakfast bar, ideal for quick morning meals or keeping the cook company.
Well-appointed with Bosch appliances and generous worktop space, it offers both style and practicality. It flows into a separate utility area with further storage, laundry appliances and side access.
A bedroom at the front of the house completes the ground floor. Upstairs, the sense of space continues.
Bedrooms to the front enjoy far-reaching views across Rottingdean and towards the sea, and both benefit from considerable built-in storage.
The loft is boarded with light and accessed via a retractable ladder, providing yet more practical storage.
Outside, the rear garden is beautifully kept and mature, offering a peaceful and private setting that feels established and cared for.
A charming summer house is tucked into the corner, creating a quiet retreat ideal for working from home, hobbies or simply enjoying the garden from a different perspective.
The double length integral garage is currently divided into two separate rooms, complete with power, light and extensive shelving, offering flexibility for storage, hobbies or workspace.
Solar panels on the roof add an energy-efficient advantage.
