An exciting opportunity to develop an existing property on a plot with planning to become the four bedroom, four bathroom luxury home of your dreams, complete with stunning master suite at the top, front and back gardens and off street parking. Work on the neighbouring house has begun, due to be completed late spring/early summer, and the vendors are happy to discuss with you the options relating to the existing structure on this site of four beds and one bathroom, which would become a streamlined semi -detached house in accordance with the plans. With an exclusive address close to the Marina and just a stone’s throw from the coastal path to the beach there are bus routes into the centre on the doorstep, and with proposals under discussion to develop the neighbouring Black Rock, it is great value. Free on street parking is also available, although if you are a health professional the County Hospital is only a 15 minute walk, and with the station serving Gatwick and London easy to reach this is in an increasingly popular area to suit professionals and international investors.

Homes sell fast in this exclusive area which is 2 minutes from the sea – and waterfront bars and restaurants of our world famous Marina, 3 minutes from 60 acres of parkland with a café, sports facilities and paths to the Sheepcote Valley Nature Reserve within the South Downs National Park, 4 minutes by car, 15-20 to walk from Royal County Hospital, 5 minutes cab ride to the cultural, al fresco lifestyle of the international Lanes and within walking distance to a choice of good schools including Brighton Waldorf and Brighton College.

Offering a step on the ladder of development, this unique prospect has a lot to offer if you want a healthy coastal lifestyle, good schools and quiet nights within easy reach of our vibrant party resort. Facing south for the sun with off street parking and landscaped garden to the rear, whichever option you decide to pursue with the vendors this spacious property, already with a glamorous reception which spans the whole of the first floor, is an inviting prospect.

The plans present a sleek, streamlined home with energy efficient windows set back from a no- through road behind landscaped grounds with off street at the back. Inside, the ground floor is beautifully organised with bright hallway, boot room for coats and bags and a private study tucked away, should you want to work from home. The first of the double bedrooms – which all have fitted wardrobes- is light and airy and opposite the luxury bathroom. At the back, the second double folds open to the back garden, ideal for an au pair or older teen as they can come and go without disturbing the main house and next door, friends will love the guest suite with its large bay looking over the landscaped grounds.

Upstairs, dynamic design delivers international LA style living. With the wow factor as soon as you walk in, the first floor is a dedicated to embracing friends and family, spanning the whole of this level, flowing around a central wood burning stove to enjoy together whilst a discreet practicality provides a separate utility area and shower room.

The new top floor is a private paradise in which to spread your wings, lined with high windows to bring in restful, open views – which also make it completely private. Stretching from front to back, there is all the storage you could dream of and the delicious en suite bathroom with space for both a bath and separate shower really should seal the deal.
