5 bedroom detached house for sale

Milliners Rest is an attractive property with light and airy rooms, a versatile layout, a pleasing open ambience and neutral décor creating an oasis of calm. The mellow hues of the woodfloor covering the reception hall extends across much of the ground floor providing practicality and a harmonious living environment. A bright sitting/dining area, with feature fireplace, is filled with natural light courtesy of glazed bi-folding doors which provide a seamless transition to the terrace. There is ample room for entertaining in this sociable setting, which links to the adjacent open-plan kitchen/family room where external doors also connect to the garden. Fitted with contemporary, wall and base level cabinetry in blue and white colour tones, topped by stone work surfaces, the welldesigned kitchen features a monochrome tiled floor, a Belfast sink and a breakfast bar unit.
There are two bedrooms on the lower level, including the principal en suite room, and one benefitting from a tucked-away position on the floor above, which also enjoys access to an adjoining shower room. A ground floor study provides a refuge for home-workers and a possible bedroom 5. An additional second floor room offers flexible-use options with bedroom 2 and a cinema room which could be used as a bedroom. Both rooms benefit from air conditioning.

The garden at Milliners Rest is skilfully designed and constructed to accommodate the elevated setting, and offers an exceptional outlook with the benefit of a sunny southerly aspect. Retaining walls, topped with wrought iron railings form a striking structural feature, with architectural planting to complement the setting. A paved terrace adjoins the house with direct access from the sitting room offering views across the pond and opportunities for outdoor dining. This extends across to the smart garden room which has a decked platform. A pathway with lawn to either side links to a series of steps which descend to a gate giving access to the roadway below. There is a paved terrace to the rear of the house, rising to stairs leading to a substantial double garage, which is reached via a length of private driveway accessed from Sherwood Road.

The property is conveniently situated close to a local parade of shops on nearby Alfriston Road and to The Downs Leisure Centre, whilst also being within easy reach of the seafront and the railway station for services to London Victoria and Brighton. The seaside town of Seaford provides a good range of amenities including high street shops, an excellent selection of pubs, restaurants and cafés and several supermarkets. The town has several primary schools as well as the outstanding-rated secondary Seaford Head School. For road-users there is easy access to the A259 coastal road, the A26 and the A27 for journeys to Eastbourne, Brighton and the historic town of Lewes.
