Why You’ll Like It:
In a great location, this immaculate terraced house has real charm and inside has a contemporary finish which embraces a sociable lifestyle. Light and inviting, the hallway has a guest w.c. tucked away and ahead, the living dining room is a classic beauty with 5.55 x 4.38m (18’3 x 14’4) to spread into, wood flooring, French doors to bring the outside in and a wood burning stove. Great design has created a sculptural space with a high end finish which includes oak bi-folding doors to the kitchen, so it can become part of the living area. Good to go, this stylish kitchen has plenty of storage and an easy layout where everything flows from the integrated gas hob, oven and hood. Plumbing is in place for a washing machine and there’s designated space for a fridge.

Outside, the lit patio becomes an extension of the ground floor during summer – and it is the ideal spot for friends to meet before a day on the beach or exploring the village at night. Child and pet secure this secluded refuge is large enough for a table and chairs, and it’s designed for ease of maintenance so there’ll be more time to enjoy it.

Light and airy at the top of the house, two more bedrooms are comfortable doubles, each with plenty of character of their own and calm decoration. The vaulted principal bedroom has 3.22 x 3.2m (10’7 x10’6) to relax in and a whole wall of organised wardrobes, whilst next door, the luxury bathroom is nice and spacious with natural light and a roll top bath.

Agent says:
“A prime location, properties don’t appear on the market very often. Ideal as a home or rental, Rottingdean is one of the few south coast villages directly on the sea and is surrounded by the protected downland of the South Downs National Park. Schools are good and it’s within easy reach of Brighton, Lewes, Gatwick and London.”

Vendor’s Comments:
“This location is hard to beat for couples or even a small family. There’s always something to do or see here whatever your mood or age and it’s the ideal place for friends to meet as there’s plenty of space for them to mill around in – and the sunny patio to spill out to! The sea, beach or rock pools are at the bottom of the high street – where the shops, cafés and restaurants are well worth exploring, but if you want to go to Brighton you won’t need to use a car as there are buses.”
