Countryside views spill down to the sea from the south facing terrace and garden of this four bedroom detached house with a spacious east facing balcony, a separate home office and a garage with a workshop. In a quiet close 2 minutes from local amenities and access to the Downs, and 3 from an Ofsted good primary school, this home is ideal for families, professionals who like to entertain or high end investors with Nuffield Hospital a 5-10 minute drive and The County Hospital 10-15, the beaches of the picturesque village of Rottingdean are under 10 minutes and Brighton’s centre and trains to London are 10-15 by cab. The elegant reception opens to the balcony at the front and a private, west facing terrace at the back, the stunning kitchen diner leads out to the sociable oasis which wraps around three sides of the house. There’s a utility room and a chic cloakroom (great for visitors) and upstairs, three quiet bedrooms share a luxury bathroom, and the peaceful principal bedroom is en-suite. With its own access to the grounds, so visitors would not encroach into the main house, the separate home office/store is completely private.

Soaring above Woodingdean for uninterrupted views, this modern brick built house in a quiet, no through road has immediate appeal with a glamorous wrought iron balcony at the front large enough for a table and chairs, energy efficient double glazing in place and a remote control garage.

Inside has a contemporary finish with gleaming porcelain underfoot which continues into the kitchen diner, and there is a smart cloakroom for guests tucked away. Stretching the full length of the south side of the building, the kitchen diner is seriously glamorous revolving around a magnificent central island with glittering quartz surfaces and an integrated hob beneath a Luxair hood. Designed to entertain, triple ovens are at eye height and there is designated space for an American style fridge freezer – and a wine cooler. Lined with windows, the whole space is full of sunshine with plenty of room for a table where you can admire the stunning views of the sea, and French doors open to a dining terrace level with the kitchen.

Outside is beautifully landscaped to create different ‘rooms’ to explore. The dining terrace steps down to a larger paved terrace which connects to the west garden and a terrace by the reception and a small lawn, whilst to the south there is a path to the store/home office past a big lawn, shaded at its heart by a gazebo scented by roses and wisteria as this garden is a real sun trap.

Returning inside, the reception also spans the building from east to west with French doors at each end, one to the spacious balcony with open views, and one to a private terrace where guests can relax in total seclusion. Limed oak is underfoot and in winter this room transforms into a warm, welcoming haven when you close the doors and ignite the stylish gas flame effect fire.

Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms at the back are each comfortable and quiet and enjoy oblique views down to the sea, and between the two – so they do not share a wall- the luxury bathroom is large enough for a decorative corner bath with a seat and a separate walk-in Mira Sport shower. At the front with inspiring open, leafy views which explode into colour on fireworks night, the third double bedroom is used as a calm space in which to work from home. Blissfully quiet with a whole wall of wardrobes, the principal bedroom is a dream come true with ample floorspace even with a large bed in situ, and a chic shower room, en-suite.

Owner's secret...
“As well as the beautiful views, we have enjoyed the privacy and peace here whilst within easy reach of the city. This has been a very happy family home with lovely neighbours, and we have enjoyed plenty of parties celebrating birthdays and holidays here! We have only recently completed our fabulous kitchen diner as we were not expecting to move but circumstances have changed, and I’m afraid we shall be taking the high spec fitted appliances as they are almost unused. We shall of course replace them with other appliances, or we are open to negotiation!”

On the edge of the South Downs National Park, Woodingdean is a friendly area favoured by professionals, families and investors as shops, cafes and restaurants are nearby and local schools are good. There’s easy access to a park and Downland walks whilst the picturesque village of Rottingdean, bordered by beaches, is on the doorstep. The waterfront restaurants, health club and cinemas of the Marina are a 10-15 minute drive, Brighton & Hove’s an easy commute (e.g. The County Hospital is about an 10-15 minute drive) and there’s a regular bus service to Brighton, the university at Falmer, as well as to Lewes or Seaford. Its proximity to the A27 and A23 is a tempting proposition to those needing to reach the universities or airports quickly and the mainline train station, with its fast, direct links London and Gatwick, is about a 15-20 minute drive.
