Why You’ll Like It
This smart detached house is at the far end of this prestigious no through road where a footpath leads to a protected nature reserve on the South Downs. Set back behind paved off street parking, this home is one of only a few with a double garage (which is integrated) and energy management includes double glazed windows and doors throughout.

Inside, the hallway has custom made radiator covers and calm colours and high grade limed oak laminate flooring continues through into the fabulous kitchen diner.

Extending to 8.0m x 5.5m (26’3 x 18’1) this kitchen diner is of dual aspect with a bay to the east and French doors in the south box bay which open to the garden. Ingeniously planned to ensure that the working areas are tucked away from the in/out flow, streamlined matt units deliver ample storage with practical surfaces, and integrated appliances include a 5 ring gas hob beneath a hood and a grill and oven at eye level. An island by the French doors invites company and it connects to the more formal dining area out of sight of the kitchen, where visitors can unwind in rare seclusion, looking over the garden.

At the other end of the room, there is a separate utility room and cloakroom which link to both the kitchen and the garages.

Across the hallway, an elegant living room with a broad front bay is lined with contemporary storage and painted in the fashionable hues of Farrow & Ball. With 6.24m x 3.6m (20’6 x 11’10) there is ample space to enjoy with friends and family, and glazed doors lead a bright, cheerful room of 4.54m x3.06m (14’11 x 10’1), currently used as a home office, which offers versatile options from playroom, au pair room or teen den, where two windows bring the outside in and a wall of glass slides across to the dining terrace.

Outside, the garden is a south facing sun trap cleverly planted for both sun and shade as temperatures rise in high summer. A quiet retreat, the paved dining terrace is level with the house - a feature hard to find in a city built on hills- and it is bordered by scented beds which incorporate fresh herbs. Looking over a lawn large enough for play made private and shaded by mature trees and fencing, it is also child and pet secure.

Returning inside, on the first floor two family bedrooms, one at the front and the other at the back are generous in size, and as they both have ample fitted wardrobes each has space for quiet study. Central to this floor, the family bathroom is light and airy with a shower above the bath and warming rail for towels.

At the front of the house, looking over the quiet cul de sac, guests will enjoy the stylish double bedroom which comes complete with a dressing area and a chic shower room. At the back of the house with garden views, the principal bedroom is all about relaxing in a private setting. Spanning an impressive 5.40m x 4.54m with a discrete dressing area and a luxury en-suite behind a rolling opaque glass door, this room is also blissfully quiet.

Agent’s Thoughts:
“This executive development just a short drive from the city centre or A27 is a well-kept secret on the edge of protected downland which has its own community of walkers, joggers and families. With a big south garden, this luxury home is within a 5 minute radius of primary and secondary schools, parks and shops. It’s also convenient for Preston Park Station with direct trains to London, the National Park and the sea.”

Owner’s Secret:
“All the rooms are bright and inviting and the sitting room at the back is a quiet, private place to work and become a space for older children to share with their friends. With good schools, cafes and parks nearby it’s easy to meet other families and the nature reserve is full of locals who exercise there, walk their dogs and have picnics etc. Tucked away at the top of the city the area is safe with friendly and considerate neighbours, and bus routes give older children independence! Convenient for commuting Carden Avenue will take you into or out of the city and Preston Park Station is easy to reach with fast and frequent, direct trains to Gatwick and London.”
