About
Tucked away on a sought-after road in popular Westdene this delightful, move-in ready, home is bright and spacious, with a warm, contemporary aesthetic.
A generous, block-paved driveway offers plenty of off-road parking to the front, with additional parking in front of the garage.
The entrance hall is wide and light, making it great for welcoming guests and bringing in kids and buggies.
There are three bedrooms and a bathroom on this level, including the principal bedroom with ample built-in wardrobes, as well as the kitchen.
Upstairs are a further two double bedrooms, each with great eaves storage and a modern shower room.
Subject to planning consents, there is plenty of scope to install dormers to the bedrooms if desired.
At the rear of the property, owners have extended to create one of the highlights of this home: a superb, double height living room and galleried kitchen-dining room space, which really has the "wow" factor!
Given its elevated position, another standout feature has to be the far-reaching views across the valley to the Downs.
Under the house there is also a substantial cellar/storage area with WC and sink, currently used as a utility room and for storage.
However, this has great potential to be dug out further and used as a gym, cinema room or wine cellar.
Outside The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with considered, architectural planting and several paved seating areas to make the most of the sunshine.
It's also great for entertaining, with a wide terrace across the back of the sitting room as the ideal spot for alfresco dining with friends and family.
Situation Millcroft has swift easy access to Dyke Road Avenue leading directly to the motorway network. There are also excellent, regular bus services into Brighton’s city centre and the seafront.
Families have a good selection of schools for all ages close by, and commuters can reach both Preston Park (1.7 miles) and Hove (2.2 miles) mainline stations quickly for direct trains to London.
For open spaces there is nearby Gatton Park and a footpath at the top of Windmill Drive which leads to Green Ridge Windmill and the footpath beyond down to Coney Wood.
Access to the wider countryside is via Waterhall, beyond the Rugby Club, with its golf courses and the South Downs Way—ideal for enjoying the outdoors.
