House For Sale £4,000,000
Roedean Road, Brighton BN2


Description
A perfect fusion of nautical Art Deco style and spectacular, uninterrupted sea views from an exclusive cliff top in Roedean, this luxury six bedroom home has sun soaked terraces facing the English Channel on every floor and the beautifully landscaped garden with a heated pool and hot tub faces south. Inside, all four storeys have a designer finish and on the ground floor, the spacious living room with a library area sweeps into a fabulous kitchen diner where the discreetly expensive Poggenpohl units house top of the range Gaggenau appliances. The lower floor is designed for parties complete with a Michael Mancini wine tasting room, media room and gym, and the pool changing room also has a steam room. All of the quiet, first floor double bedrooms are en suite with either a dressing room or bespoke wardrobes and at the top of the house, a fantasy principle suite with twin dressing rooms and offices is filled with the ocean. There is a double garage for you and yours with direct access to the house, luggage drop and utility room whilst at the front there is gated off street parking for your guests. Opposite a golf course, close to East Brighton Park which leads to the South Downs National Park and looking over the UK’s largest Marina, this prime location 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.

Synonymous with luxury and glamour, Art Deco is known for its sophisticated design using expensive materials and exquisite craftmanship to create luxury homes where deceptively simple elegance masked a commitment to practical function. With gentle curves and strong lines accentuated by banks of energy efficient crittal style aluminium windows this beautiful house is a stunning reimagining of the classic ‘style moderne’ with glass walls to bring the light and sea views into the heart of the home, an exacting finish with the best of 21st century fittings including a Poggenphol kitchen with top of the range Gaggenhau fittings, a wine tasting room and a library created by one of our top craftsmen Michael Mancini, and C.P Hart bathrooms as well as underfloor heating throughout.

The entrance:

Guests sweep through the electronic gate to a hard standing with a discreet bin store and bike shed where a formal garden, white render, crittal style windows and iconic curves of a protective porch invite you to a magnificent double, walnut door. Inside, a vaulted atrium is designed to embrace the Sussex sunshine and magnificent views of the sea – which pour in through double smoked glass doors ahead. Above your head a magnificent custom made chandelier of 900 Swarovski crystals cascades through the centre of a walnut and glass staircase, (which could be available, subject to negotiation) Italian marble tiles are underfoot, and designed as an inclusive home, a lift serving all four storeys is to the left and a guest cloakroom with Deco curves is tucked away.

Out of sight and introducing the high spec technology enhancing the property, the electronic ‘engine room’ of this 2013 home introduces you to the surround sound system, underfloor heat, wifi and sky boxes to the media room and bedrooms as well as the Teletask light switches, smoke detectors and security systems installed as a precaution.

The living room and library:

Designed to share with friends and family, the sculptural living space embraces the sunshine, opening to the sun terrace and garden and flowing around the warmth of a central gas fireplace to a library with shelving by Mancini. Walnut flooring ensures a seamless in/out flow and simple but stylish decoration keeps the focus on the spectacular views which sweep over the protective arm of the Marina to open water.

The kitchen diner:

The fabulous Poggenphol kitchen is perfect for entertaining with a south wall which folds completely away to bring in the green of the garden and glittering sea whilst French glazed doors at the far end of the room open to a walled kitchen garden, scented by herbs and roses, and large enough for a table and chairs. A sliding glass door connects this room to the living room and with top of the range Gaggenhau fittings, this is a kitchen of dreams. Separated from the dining area by a Corian breakfast bar which seats 6 with ease, a sociable central island has power for gadgets, double sink, quooker tap and dishwasher. On one side, convenient for the dining area, there is a drinks fridge, tall fridge and ice dispensing freezer and to the other, a steam and fan oven have a warming tray and an electric hob, gas hob, hot plate and electric griddle are beneath twin hoods.

The wine tasting room, bar and media area, gym, changing room and steam room:

The party can continue downstairs where a wine tasting room created by Mancini is encased in glass to maintain the ambient temperature. A bar is by broad doors to the lit steps to the pool room, pool and outside shower, and a spacious media area is ideal for movies, cup nights or gaming with a contemporary gas fire in the statement, marble lined wall.

A mirrored gym has ample floorspace for equipment and off it, a changing room has a large walk in shower and a steam room which can accommodate 12 people.

The south garden:

A peaceful paradise with stunning coastal views sweeping from east to west and just 5 minutes from the city centre, a sun deck runs along the whole of the back of the house. To one side it dips down to the hot tub and sunbathing area and to the other it broadens for dining by the heated pool (which has an automated cover for winter), and then steps down to a formal garden. On the other side of the pool there is a lawned area for play and seating area with a mosaic compass underfoot where you can enjoy guests having a good time.

The practical bits:

The lower floor also has a discreet laundry room and several storage rooms including a baggage drop at the top of the stairs to the automated double garage, and there is also a guest cloakroom and second walk in larder with power for a fridge off the lobby at the foot of the stairs to the ground floor.

Five 1st floor double bedrooms, all en suite:

Reached either via the walnut and glass staircase or by lift, all five beautiful bedrooms are generous doubles and each are en suite, designed by the prestigious C.P. Hart, with either bespoke fitted wardrobes or walk in closets. Four have direct sea views and access to a wide veranda with a glass balustrade so the ever changing vista can be enjoyed even from bed, one of which is a fabulous, dual aspect VIP guest suite on the southwest corner with a dressing room and en suite large enough for both an elliptical freestanding bath and walk in shower.

The principle suite -2nd floor:

Deco style at its most glamorous, this magnificent principle suite shimmers in golden wallpaper and spans the entirety of the top floor. Spacious, restful and ready to move into, inspired design focuses on the fabulous coastal location. With sleek lines and touches of luxury, this serene sanctuary is intentionally reminiscent of the 1st class salons of an ocean liner opening to its own private balcony with views over yachts at safe harbour to the open water of the Dover Straight for sunrise in the east to sunsets in the west – as well as our famous starry skies. Twin offices each enjoy the seascape and provide comfortable secluded places in which to work from home, two dressing rooms are larger than you expect and spa like, the glamorous en suite with high end C.P.Hart fittings has both a striking freestanding baignoir and separate shower with a large drench head in wet room style.

Agent says:

“A glamorous reimagining of the Art Deco style delivers a unique coastal home beautifully designed to make the most of the stunning setting and although it is like stepping into a painting and every room has a designer finish, it is also a family friendly, comfortable home with a discreet practical ethos.”

Owner’s secret:

“In a stunning setting, the views are different every day and are equally beautiful whether blue skies or stormy. We designed the house to enjoy with our friends and family and one of the benefits of having 9,700 square feet is that we can entertain a large number of people without the neighbours hearing a thing – and if the children are partying late in the basement, at the top we are private and quiet. The location is great for getting into or out of the city and friends can travel easily to us either by car or train. With level access and a lift to each floor the house is welcoming to those of any age or agility and as we have a busy lifestyle, the house is a secure lock up and leave.”
