Light filled and restful, this charming two bedroom house with a detached garage nestles in the heart of its own glorious gardens and has two quiet, double bedrooms with lovely open views. Inside this elegant, if vintage beauty there is a fuss free flow between the spacious living/dining room and classic eat in kitchen which both open to scented, south facing grounds so large there is a second, secret oasis to explore which is bigger than many main gardens the city! On an unusually large plot and with two airy storeys there is plenty of square footage inside– or outside space to extend into- if you want to work from home or create an annexe STC. Built in the 1930’s it blends bright, inviting interiors with exterior country charm, its prime, elevated position embracing both the Sussex sunshine and rolling countryside of the South Downs which surround our famous coastal resort. In an exclusive, leafy street just 4 minutes from one of the best primary schools in the county, 5 minutes from the station serving London and just 10 from central Brighton and the beaches of Hove, just a few personal touches would make this happy home your own fantasy retreat near the sea. Close to a nature reserve and parks, it offers a healthy lifestyle for families of any age and known as Brighton’s Hollywood Hills, Withdean is a sought after area with swift access to the Amex Stadium, airports and London’s West End.

Why you’ll like it:
Set back from a tree lined street behind a gated drive to the garage and a large front garden, this detached, Dutch gabled house sits well alongside its equally prosperous neighbours. Crittall style windows in keeping with the period character of the house are discreetly double glazed, and give an indication of the sensitive improvements made to this delightful home. Along a wending path, a lit, original oak door opens to a practical porch and inside makes the most of its exclusive, hillside setting with uninterrupted sunlight and fabulous views, and a hushed hallway flows around a central staircase.
The living/dining rooms and eat in kitchen:
Big, bright rooms and an easy flow make this spacious house very special to live in, and at the back an effortlessly sociable living/dining room celebrates friends and family with plenty of space to share and French doors to bring the outside in. A light, relaxing refuge with a beautiful period fireplace, it is the perfect place to welcome guests who can unwind in complete seclusion and take pleasure in the garden come rain or shine.
Next door, a bright and cheerful eat in kitchen is a classic beauty with stylish but family friendly units and working surfaces as well as a built in breakfast bar where you can sit to plan the kitchen/diner of your dreams. It has a big larder and access to the garden and garage gate, so sports kits and beach towels can go from the car boot straight into the machine. Looking over the glory of the carefully tended garden, a discreet eye can be kept on children, pets or visitors needs and skilfully planned by an experienced cook everything flows from the central oven which could stay, subject to circumstance.
The gardens:
A sunny, secure oasis with different ‘rooms’ to explore, a gentle eye has created a unique escape just minutes from the city centre. Thoughtfully landscaped there is a paved dining terrace close to the house scented by roses where you can watch children, grandchildren- or pets-playing on a slightly raised lawn made private from neighbours by the garage as well as mature shrubs and trees. Level and large, (two features surprisingly difficult to find in an historic city built on hills) it leads to a second secret garden raising all kinds of interesting possibilities from play area to summerhouse or swimming pool….STC
Two ground floor reception rooms and cloakroom:
With spectacular sunny views over Preston Valley to the protected, rolling hills of the South Downs National Park, sunlight streams through two ground floor reception rooms, dual aspect. Tranquil retreats, they share an under stair cloakroom and like the rest of the house, there is scope to install central heating if you would prefer that to the system currently in place.
Two first floor bedrooms and bathroom:
Upstairs, a sizeable landing has access to the loft space and a deep airing cupboard. A central bathroom separates the two double bedrooms so they do not share a wall and serves your every need so time is on your side if you want to ramp up the glamour! Both generous bedrooms are quiet sanctuaries which look over a sea of gardens to open views, where it is easy to forget that the city centre is within a 10 minute drive, and each have twin double closets and walk in under eave storage to tease out your inner designer.
Agent says:
“This beautiful, bright house has plenty of space inside and out, and offers an opportunity to add value if you want to, STC. Homes in this exclusive street do not appear on the market often as although providing peace and quiet particularly at night, the location is very convenient for all the city has to offer and has bus routes nearby giving older children some independence.”
Owner’s secret:
“All the rooms are bathed in light as the sun moves around the house and gardens. Inside, the easy flow is brilliant for a young family who like to entertain and the rooms offer flexible options. The countryside view is a daily reminder to get out to enjoy its lovely walks, and a choice of parks and the beach are on the doorstep. A happy home for many years, both primary and secondary schools are within an 10 minute radius, the theatres and music venues are easy to reach whilst a short drive takes you to the station or A23/A27 for work. We hope you will enjoy making this special home your own.”
