Inside has a flawless finish with a stunning galleried hallway, an elegant living dining room where guests can relax in front of a wood burning stove, and a fabulous, eat in kitchen designed to cater for friends and family. All of the four double bedrooms are immaculate, each are en-suite and with two on the ground floor and two on the first, none share a wall, all enjoy picture perfect, leafy views – and the shimmering principal bedroom is a dream come true.

Rottingdean, founded by Rota 1200 years ago and once home to Rudyard Kipling and pre-Raphaelite painter Burn Jones is a sought after destination as it has good schools, a village green with a pond and plenty of local shops, cafes and restaurants to explore. Known for its picturesque black windmill, white cliffs, rock pools and quieter beaches than those in Brighton, this peaceful, no through road is particularly popular as it culminates in a footpath to the South Downs National Park even though it is within a reasonable commute of Brighton, Lewes, Gatwick and London.

Find your inner peace in this tranquil, detached home tucked away in one of the most sought after locations of this coastal village. Making the most of its elevated position opposite rolling countryside which rises above the prosperous homes below it, sunlight as well as restful views streams through this house.

The Approach and Entrance Hall -

Outside, this immaculate property is set back behind a lit hard standing with space for several cars and there is a detached, double length garage to one side. Brick steps sweep you up to a front door with a leaded window which introduces the expert level of finish throughout the house, as well as to the fine balance of style and practicality only subtle skill can provide.
Inside, you certainly make an entrance in this light filled hallway where a gallery ahead gives an immediate feeling of space. An inviting refuge, it is designed so visitors (and pets) feel welcome with engineered oak flooring underfoot, a big cupboard for boots and bags and a guest cloakroom are tucked away.

The Reception, Kitchen Diner and Utility -

With the wow factor as soon as you step through the twin glazed doors, the elegant proportions and tasteful decoration of the reception instantly soothe. Rolling hills are framed by the broad southeast bay which almost fills the front wall, and two porthole windows add character. There is ample space in which to relax in peace and quiet or to entertain, and a delight in all seasons, friends and family can enjoy a roaring fire in the wood burning stove.

Next door, the fitted kitchen is a classic which won’t date with user friendly wood units and gleaming, black granite surfaces. Practical for everyday but also perfect for parties, the magnificent Stoves gas range could stay subject to circumstance, the dishwasher is integrated for you and the sink is a big Belfast. There is designated space for an American style fridge freezer, a large larder keeps surfaces uncluttered and as you would expect of a home of this quality, a separate utility has extra storage and access to the garden.

The Garden -

This tranquil oasis is so large there is always a spot in which to enjoy the Sussex sunshine. A broad, lit terrace by the house is the perfect place for al fresco dining and paths to the side of the house and to the garage are gated, so the garden is both child and pet secure. The raised lawn is big enough for ball games and it is bordered by mature shrubs and trees for perfect privacy.
The Ground Floor Bedrooms, En-Suite
At the front of the house, the first of the double bedrooms is simple but stylish with glorious views over protected downland – and occasionally of horses grazing on it - and right on trend, the en-suite has a dual head shower system.
Looking over the garden at the back, the second generous double room of dual aspect is hushed with calm decoration, and the en-suite is spacious enough for a fabulous roll top tub with taloned feet and traditional shower attachment.

The First Floor Family Bedroom, En-Suite Principal Bedroom Suite -

Upstairs, beneath a skylight this home really spreads its wings with a galleried, central landing. At the front, with the gentle roll of protected Downland as far as the eye can see, the third double bedroom has grace and pretty decoration. L shaped, there is an area for quiet study, fitted wardrobes are supplemented by under eave storage and family or guests can bathe in glory in a private en- suite bathroom.

The Principal Bedroom Suite -

Shimmering in designer wallpaper and blissfully quiet, the peaceful principal suite has two, tall windows to open to the scent and birdsong of the garden. Spanning the whole width of this floor, it is a serene sanctuary with a wall of sophisticated, custom made wardrobes and the gracious en-suite is large enough for a luxury roll top bath and separate shower with high end, dual head fittings.
