Award winning Brighton developers Baobab have done it again, bringing together a dream team to build the fantasy and deliver a guilt free, luxury four bedroom townhouse which embraces an eco- sensitive and 'human- centric' ethos. In an exclusive cliff top position in Roedean, south facing, sun soaked terraces bring in views over gardens to the sea whilst at the back, glazed walls slide open to a balcony which enjoys protected Downland. Studio Octopi architects, Nicholas Dexter's expertise in coastal gardens, Cityzen Design's knowledge of energy and local craftsmen The Magnificent Works Co have worked together with planning consultants ntr and design studio We Like Today to deliver a stunning yet comfortable home with an immaculate finish, integral garage and off street parking for guests in a prime location 2 minutes from the sea and waterfront restaurants of the UK's largest Marina. On the same road as the most expensive house recently sold (by us!) in the city, Roedean attracts professionals and families seeking fresh air and a healthy lifestyle with swift access to the city centre (5 minutes), Amex Stadium (10), Gatwick or London, as well as privacy and good schools for their children with some of the best in the country, including Roedean, Brighton College and Brighton Waldorf within a 3 minute radius.
Baobab is known for its sophisticated design using locally sourced materials where possible and exquisite craftmanship to create luxury homes where deceptively simple elegance masked a commitment to practical function and energy management solutions. With striking gables and strong lines accentuated by banks of energy efficient aluminium windows this beautiful house is a stunning reimagining of the classic homes surrounding it, with glass walls to bring the light and sea views into the heart of the home and an exacting finish with the best of 21st century fittings.
The entrance and ground floor:
Skilfully landscaped by Nicholas Dexter (Chelsea Flower Show medallist) the entrance drive has an elegant sweep and space for visitor parking whilst naturalistic planting connects this build to its South Downs setting and shields the stepped building which nestles into it behind an inviting blanket of green.
Inside, flawless design begins with a central hallway where there is a door to the integral garage and opposite, a large luggage drop/boot room/store for the family. A discreet 'engine room' serving the air source heat pumps, solar panelling and wi-fi cabling etc is tucked away, and at the back, a generous bedroom with en suite shower room and a private terrace is ideal for intergenerational living- but also gives an opportunity to reimagine a life/work balance as it could be a comfortable home office where visitors would not need to encroach into the main house.
The ground floor:
Comfortable for the family as well as having plenty of space for sophisticated entertaining, the elegant reception spans the full depth of the building with walls of glass both front and back to bring in the sun and frame the spectacular setting which offers the best of our famous city, bordered by the English Channel and sheltered by rolling hills.
Across the hall, the glamorous kitchen diner revolves around a sociable central island with glass doors at each end of the space which slide away to allow the relaxed, al fresco lifestyle Brighton is famous for.
The first floor guest suite, family bedroom and luxury bathroom:
Reached via a fabulous staircase, guests will love this private suite which stretches from front to back of this substantial house with a VIP attitude, bespoke fitted wardrobes, access to a glamorous terrace and a designer finish in the chic en suite shower room. At the heart of the home, the big, bright family bedroom has restful countryside views and plenty of space to play with.
The principle suite:
Inspired design, imaginative detail, relaxing space and natural light all combine in this relaxing retreat where a private door across the hallway effectively forms an inner sanctuary where the principle bedroom keeps the focus on the relaxing open view to the rolling downs which change with the seasons. A dressing room provides all the clothes space you could dream of and ready to refresh and restore, the magnificent en suite is large enough for both a bath and separate shower. Perfect.
Agent says:
"A fabulous reimagining of the coastal lifestyle delivers a unique home expertly designed to make the most of the stunning setting and although you step into a glamorous lifestyle where every room has a designer finish, it is also a family friendly, comfortable home with eco credentials including air source heat pumps, solar gain, thermal performance exceeding statutory targets and the creation of biodiverse habitats."
Owner's secret:
"Baobab is a boutique Brighton based company, recognised for good design which enhances the lives of those that live in them. All of our developments are united by the devotion to and championing of what we consider to be the essential elements in outstanding residential development: Design, detail, light, space, nature, material and relativism to the site and setting. This approach has seen us pick-up numerous awards including two Sussex Heritage Awards and a riba award in 2017."
