Agent says:

“Woodingdean attracts professionals wanting quick access to the city, universities or the airports but also a healthier lifestyle and good schools for their children. This unique 2 for 1 home delivers all of those factors as well as friendly local amenities, peace, privacy and parking- and a fabulous lifestyle!”

Owner’s secret:

“As well as the beautiful views which change every day – and night - we have enjoyed total privacy whilst within easy reach of the sea and the city. Light and airy, this has been a very happy home with lovely neighbours and we have enjoyed plenty of parties celebrating birthdays and holidays here! With so much space, we were always able to welcome friends when they wanted to stay over-we could easily collect them from the station and with local bus routes they could be independent from a car for the duration. The house and annexe work well together for inter- generational living as it has plenty of space of its own for entertaining. Everything you may need- schools, restaurants, stations, sailing club, stables and cinemas are all within easy reach, which is why we have stayed here for 17 years! Our new step will be bittersweet, but we hope that you will enjoy it here as much as we have.”
