Description
Enjoy a glamorous coastal lifestyle in this sun filled 4 bedroom detached house designed to make the most of its glorious sea views from its elevated position 2 minutes from Saltdean beach and just 10 from Brighton. On a large plot with an integral garage and off street parking, dynamic design embraces open air living with a sociable living/dining room/kitchen sweeping out to an unusually spacious garden which offers both sun and shade with a built in gazebo at the far end. If you were thinking of working from home, there is a room of 10’8 x 8’1 (3.06m x 2.48m) with its own access to the side path so visitors wouldn’t need to disturb the main house, although with 1,777.76 of elegant square feet to explore there are plenty of other options. On the first floor, two of the three double bedrooms open to a southwest balcony with glittering views over the English Channel whilst the other embraces the birdsong of the garden, and they share a contemporary bathroom.

Dynamic design has created a luxury home which makes every day living both easy and stylish. With a generous 165.16m2 (approx.) to play with, strong lines are accentuated by energy efficient windows and glass doors to bring the light and views delivered by this exclusive location between the sea and the Downs into the heart of the home.

Striking outside, inside the attention to detail extends even to the porch, which is heated, and the hallway is inviting with a cloakroom tucked away in a side lobby where a spacious room opposite has a door to the side path as well as access to the garage, which we have seen in other houses as a big utility, a gym, a treatment room or a home office, so that gives food for thought…STC.

Running through the whole depth of this substantial building – a magnificent 32’6 (9.91m) long, the sunny lounge/ diner/study area is ideal for sharing with family or friends. Sea views stream through the front window whilst at the back, French doors open to the garden – and there’s skill behind the design as there’s ample space for quiet study, sofas by a feature fireplace at the heart of the space and a dining table where guests can relax in rare seclusion and enjoy the garden at any time of year. Safely tucked away from the easy, in/out flow behind a sociable breakfast bar, the sophisticated kitchen is a streamlined beauty ready to party with an integrated gas hob, Zanussi combi and fan ovens, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and a washing machine.

Outside, the huge garden is a leafy oasis to explore which is also child and pet secure, and it is worth noting that the neighbours have extended out and have a conservatory. Facing east but open to the south it is a sun trap which ingeniously also offers shade. In need of a little tlc – the current owner is downsizing- there is a large, lit dining area by the house where you can relax beneath waving palms or the dappled shade of a mature tree. Hidden away beyond exotic planting, a large deck is perfect for soaking up the Sussex sunshine – but there is a built in gazebo to retreat to when it gets too hot which has space to one side for vegetables, herbs and fruit for the table (or a swing).

Upstairs, with stunning views sweeping to the sea, two beautiful double rooms are each ready to move into and both open out to a balcony from which to appreciate the vista to the full. Quietly tucked away at the back, the third double room is a peaceful refuge with alcoves for wardrobes, and when you open the window, all you can hear are the birds. Next door, an airy bathroom with a zen like influence is big enough for both a bath and a separate walk in shower, with dark wood storage beneath the hand basin and a lit cabinet above.
Private at the top of the house, the fabulous master suite is all about relaxing in a restful setting with glorious views of rolling downland at the back and the sea to the south and the southwest. A generous 20’11 x 14’3 (6.38m x 4.35m) with fitted wardrobes already in place, there is a glamorous freestanding tub in which to unwind, but also a chic en suite shower room where you’ll be instantly refreshed beneath the rainfall head shower. Perfect.

Agent says:
“Saltdean attracts families wanting a healthier lifestyle and good schools but also swift access to local amenities, the city and airports, and this big, bright home offers a ready-made, sociable lifestyle too.”

Owner’s Secret:
“Light and airy in the summer, it’s warm and welcoming in winter. With space in which to work from home the house and garden are ideal for entertaining and there’s a choice of local shops around the corner with everything you need from fresh coffee or restaurant to a pharmacy and Co- Op. If you love outdoor activities, the beach is close enough to walk to, the Lido is a glamorous outdoor swim and the park has a playground and a zip wire. We are surrounded by the National Park and have easy access to it, but we’re also well connected as buses run in and out of Brighton or the port at Newhaven until about midnight.”
