Light streams through this 4 bedroom detached bungalow with generous off street parking and a large, landscaped west facing garden where you can enjoy a sunny al fresco lifestyle, the rolling countryside of the Tye – within the National Park – and a distant sea view. On a sought after road with the walks, playground and café of Chatsworth Park around the corner and the beach a 3 minute drive, it is a rare find just 10 -15 minutes from Brighton. Perfect for professionals and/or a growing family with a designer finish and consent to create a stunning principal suite in the attic, the location in Telscombe Cliffs is quiet but connected with local shops, cafes, restaurants and bus routes along the coast and into the city close by.

A hidden gem this modernist bungalow with uninterrupted views of the South Downs National Park at the back impresses from the ample off street parking at the front, to the sunny, landscaped garden at the back. A 2 minute walk from the primary school gate, at the top end of the road it is private and quiet, and it stands out with clean lines and large, energy efficient windows which were installed in the last 6 months.

Inside, no expense has been spared where a subtle balance of style, practicality and comfort includes the choice of good quality Karndean flooring for the hall which invites guests through to the stunning kitchen diner and family room.

With bi-folding doors to the sun deck which and a south window to frame the distant sea, this sun-lit, L shaped room is designed to embrace the garden and enjoy company. Perfect for parties but also for every day, there is 22’10 x 20’8 (6.98m x 6.3m) to spread out into, and the room is thoughtfully arranged with a private seating area tucked away from the in/out flow where you can relax by the contemporary, flame effect fire.

The kitchen is by the dining area which looks over the garden to the protected fields of The Tye and revolves around a sociable central island which has curved edges, a beautiful quartz top and an integrated touch induction hob beneath a hood. Well planned with everything to hand from this central point, twin fan ovens at eye level cater for large numbers and the Samsung American style fridge freezer could stay, subject to circumstance. A dishwasher is integrated for you and the three levels of lighting include LED lights in the plinths.

Outside, the sun deck has ample space for al fresco dining with astonishing views, the summer house with power faces south and the hot tub, which the vendors are willing to discuss, is tucked along by it. Steps lead down to a level lawn large enough for ball games – both features hard to find in this location on the Downs-and a blank canvas to make your own, it is child and pet secure with a side gate for bikes.

Returning inside, the first of the generous double bedrooms is a restful retreat ready to move into. At the heart of this level, the second bedroom is a big single at 11’4 x 6’8 (3.46m x 2.05m) and it would be a tranquil nursery or comfortable spot from which to work from home. The third bedroom is a stylish, vaulted double and it is opposite a shower room which has a tub instead of a tray beneath the power jet and dual headed shower. At the front, the principal bedroom has calm decoration and a whole wall of storage. Along the hall, a high spec bathroom has just been put in with a discreet utility area and fashionable brushed brass fittings which include the dual head shower and taps over the twin hand basins, and the sleek vanity unit has a lit mirror above it.
