A hidden gem on a quiet no through lane most people don’t know about, this striking modern house has open, leafy views and it impresses from the verdant front garden with parking at the side, to the sunny, landscaped grounds at the back. With banks of large, energy efficient windows it is within a small, exclusive development designed for privacy.

Inside has a subtle balance of style, practicality and comfort, which begins in a lobby which has room for organised storage, whilst the stylish hallway introduces you to the contemporary finish of the interiors. Ahead with an elegant 15’3 x 14’7 (4.65m x 4.45m) of space to share and a deep, discreet cupboard to keep the room tidy, the living room is a n inviting retreat to return to after a busy day in the city.

Next door, a fabulous sun-lit kitchen/dining room ramps up the glamour and has French doors in the far wall open to the dynamic landscaping of the garden. Running along the whole of the back of this substantial property, there is 15’3 x 10’1 (4.65m x 3.08m) where guests can relax in rare seclusion whilst enjoying the view, and the streamlined kitchen is perfect for every day but also for parties, tucked safely away from the in/out flow. Family friendly with practical working surfaces and plenty of sophisticated storage, it is good to go with a touch induction oven, which could stay, and integrated appliances include a fridge a freezer, a dishwasher and a washing machine.

Outside, the garden is so large there is always a spot to sunbathe with a large level lawn for children and pets to enjoy by the house – a feature hard to find on the South Downs coastline- made private and secure by fencing. At the far end, a raised dining deck provides a glamorous spot for easy, al fresco entertaining, and there is space to one side for a summerhouse – which could also provide space away from the house in which to work.

Upstairs, this home spreads its wings with a large landing where you’ll find the access to the attic and an airing cupboard. At the top of the stairs, the airy bathroom has a fashionable shower above the bath, natural light and a designer finish, and at the back, the first of the double bedrooms is a restful retreat, ready to move into with garden views as far as the eye can see.

At the front of the house, the second bedroom, which has built in storage, is a generous single (9’2 x 6’6 or 2.8m x 2.0m), an ideal nursery or a comfortable home office.

A restful refuge at the end of a busy day, the beautiful principal room shimmers in designer paper with open views which change with the seasons, and with 14’8 x 8’5 (2.8m x 2.58m) to play with, there is ample space in which to unwind, even with a double bed in situ as wardrobes are already fitted for you.

Agent says:
“Telscombe Cliffs attracts professionals wanting quick access to the city, the universities or the airports but also a healthier lifestyle by the sea and good schools for their children. This sunny home in a leafy setting delivers all those factors as well as friendly local amenities, peace, privacy and parking- and a champagne lifestyle.”

Owner’s Secret:
“We have enjoyed the freedom of privacy whilst within easy reach of the sea, Brighton and Lewes, and the National Park. Light, airy and tranquil, this has been a very happy family home in a lovely community, and we have hosted plenty of parties celebrating birthdays and holidays here as the layout flows so well inside and out to the garden. The garden is perfect if friends bring their children as with so much space, the kids can play on the lawn whilst we finish eating. Everything we need- schools, restaurants, cinemas as well as access to London Road for the A23/A27 are all within easy reach and if you have a dog or like jogging, we are close to Chatsworth Park where you can enjoy the fresh air and leave the stresses of the day behind. There are local shops just a few minutes away with everything you need, we are surrounded by the National Park and have easy access to it, but it’s also well connected as buses run in and out of Brighton, or the port at Newhaven if you like to holiday in France, until about midnight.”
