Perched up on the hill in Hollingbury, with far-reaching views over the local landscape, sits this well-presented three-bedroom chalet bungalow. It has been well-maintained by the current owners, yet there remain plenty of scope for further modernisation and extension which would add value in this family-friendly, sought-after location. The rear garden is large and open to the west with both a dining area and a lawn for children to play, and from the upper terrace you can enjoy breath-taking views over roof tops and trees to the South Downs National Park. Parking is free and there is a separate garage which could also be ripe for conversion or ideal as storage. You can also walk over Hollingbury Golf Course and Woods to Stanmer Park and the Downs in the north within minutes; ideal for dog walks, cross country cyclists and countryside walkers.
This is a fabulous family home, and while it is quiet here, with a friendly local community, you are still only a few minutes from the City of Brighton & Hove by bus or car. There are great transport links and the local schools are highly favoured, so it is sure to be coveted by many.

Why you’ll like it:
This beautifully maintained home sits on a sweeping road in Hollingbury perched up high on the eastern side of the Preston and Withdean Valley, so you benefit from the light and views this affords. This chalet is semi-detached, with a classic 1930s beamed and gabled façade with double glazed, part-leaded windows which add to the countryside appeal. You pass a well-established front garden to the main entrance which is to the left, where stepping inside, you are greeted by a spacious and welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising up to the first floor and natural light streaming in down the stairwell.
Versatile and spacious, the ground floor layout lends itself to a variety of uses. The current owners use the front room as a formal dining room with a lovely bay window looking out to the front garden, so it would also be ideal as a bedroom with soft carpet underfoot and space for a double bed and bedroom furnishings.
To the rear of the house with sliding glass doors leading through to the conservatory, the sitting room is both light and homely. A gas fire warms the room during winter while in summer, the sun room offers a delightful seating or dining area leading outside to the garden.
Next door, the kitchen also enjoys direct garden access, so the ground floor flows perfectly during the warmer weather – ideal for garden parties. Dual aspect windows ensure you get the sunshine throughout the day and it is a sizable space for informal dining and entertaining. Modernised more recently it has white Shaker-style cabinetry paired with granite-effect worktops and integrated appliances to include a fan oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and a gas hob, leaving space for a tall fridge freezer.
Outside, the lawn has mature beds surrounding it for a touch of colour in the spring, and to the left is a large patio for dining outdoors. Closer to the house, a raised terrace enjoys stunning views across Patcham to the patchwork hills of the South Downs below open skies which fill with colour during sunset. There is plenty of scope for further landscaping out here should you wish to add a cabin, outdoor office or convert the garage perhaps – all food for thought!
Returning inside, bedroom two is also on the ground floor with a wide bay window almost covering the easterly wall framing front garden views. It is a lovely double room with a wall of built-in wardrobes to maximise the floor space, while the modern shower room with rainfall walk-in shower is nearby. Upstairs, bedroom two is another spacious double with a dormer window to fill it with natural light and far-reaching views which are a joy to wake up to each day. The rolling hills and skyscapes make you feel you are much further away from the city than you are; the perfect combination of town and country.
Agents thoughts:
This home has been lovingly cared for so you could move straight in, yet the scope to add value is also present. Its location also makes it ideal for families, so it is sure to be snapped up.
Owner’s thoughts:

and the views will certainly be hard to replicate.”
