Why you’ll like it:
Introduction:
This sought after leafy road is lined with prosperous homes and has a friendly local shop at one end and the gym and sports facilities of Withdean Stadium at the other. Built in traditional Sussex style with hung tiles, sensitive improvements to this charming house include energy efficient windows, an expert extension in 2019 to create a fabulous principal suite spanning 38.0m2 (409ft2) approx. and stunning landscaping in the gardens, which at the front deliver an inviting approach, off street parking and easy access to the garage. Through the front door, light streams through a hallway where oak underfoot gives guests free reign, and a neat cloakroom is tucked away at the foot of a broad staircase.
The Living/Dining Room and Sitting Room:
Instantly soothing, the elegant reception has a generous 5.84m x 4.16m (19’2 x 13’8) to enjoy, stretching from front to back with a broad bay almost filling the front wall and a south wall of glass which slides across to bring the sunshine and magnificent gardens into the heart of the home. Light and airy during summer, this room is ingeniously designed to be welcoming in winter months with the addition of an iron, wood burning stove where guests can unwind in warmth and rare privacy – a valued asset in an area favoured by celebrities.
Next door, the spacious sitting room has a designer finish with exotic wallpaper, and looks across the dining terrace with a raised filtered pond for koi, offering relaxing views. Currently a family room, this room has also been a study and a playroom as there is access to the integral garage, so children could be settled and occupied whilst the car was unpacked.
The Kitchen/Breakfast Room:
Ready to party, the bright and cheerful kitchen invites company with space for an informal table safely away from the door to the garden, and a choice of lighting levels. Well-planned with an easy flow, shaker units provide ample storage and working surfaces are user friendly. High spec appliances include a Neff gas hob beneath a hood, a Neff grill combi oven and fan oven and Bosch dishwasher, and plumbing is in place for a washing machine – there is power for a drier tucked away at the back of the garage if it is raining!
Three First Floor Bedrooms and Family Bathroom:
With restful open views to gardens and woodland between the lower, gracious homes opposite, the first of the delightful double bedrooms is not directly overlooked and is ready to move into with tasteful decoration.
Across the hallway, a gleaming bathroom of dual aspect has a contemporary white suite and practical flooring to prevent slips and trips. A powerful Bristan Shower is above the bath, the hand basin is Ideal and there is a tall warming rail for as many towels as you like.
At the back, two calm bedrooms embrace the glory of the garden. Both well-presented and blissfully private, one is a generous 4.12m x 3.35m (13’6 x 11’ 0), and the other is bigger than you think as there are deep under stair cupboards, so all you need to put into the 2.53m x 2.41m (8’4 x 7’ll) of floorspace is a bed – or a desk as the views are inspiring!
The Principal Suite:
A sunlit sanctuary which spreads its wings from front to back, this peaceful principal is all about recharging your batteries in a stunning setting. Picture perfect views of the garden sweep through this fabulous room, completed to an exacting standard in 2019. A whole wall of wardrobes provides all the sophisticated storage you could dream of – plus insulated under eaves space too, and it has character with Velux in the front roofline, exposed brick and timber framed windows in keeping with the rest of the house. Intended to make you feel like the VIP you are, the high end en-suite shower room is right on trend, and could have stepped out of a glossy magazine with a rainfall head shower and designer finish.
The Gardens:
The crowning jewel of this glamorous home, the south facing gardens at the rear are a joy to the senses, created as a secret paradise by the former owner who is a renowned landscaped gardener. Each broad tier is larger than some gardens this close to the city centre, and each are different ‘rooms’ to explore, planted for all year interest, with blossom and blooms, and beds to provide fresh food and herbs for the family table.
Level with the house, a terrace is perfect for al fresco dining, paved for a dining set and child and pet secure. Olive trees and an Acer thrive in this sheltered, sunny spot where there is space for a bbq ( and discreet bike shed by the side gate), and the views up to the garden begin with a raised pond with a filter and pump if you are tempted by the glimmering colours of Koi carp.
Broad, gated steps rise to a second wide tier where slender trees, including a winter cherry, provide dappled shade during our hot summers. With ample room for seating and a herb wheel for fresh mint for the Pimm’s, it is a social grown up space where you can sit and watch the children on the lawn above or terrace below. At the very top of the garden, a gate leads to the most productive part of the garden where a greenhouse with a professional earth fitting is perfect for tomatoes, big raised beds have plenty of space for vegetables or fruit and there is a timber cabin as well as a magical garden room where children can play as you plant, and where you can retire to work when necessary as it has power so you can plug into Wi -Fi.
Agent Says:
“This spacious, private house offers a discreetly luxury lifestyle in a prestigious area of the city which is particularly sought after by professionals and families wanting fresh air and good schools for their children as well as swift access to the city, the station and the airports.”
Owner’s Secret:
“During summer the house is full of light, when the south facing garden becomes a scented extension of the house- I remember returning from the beach with the children and bathing in the sunshine outside, where we would enjoy bbqs and eat al fresco quite often. The easy flow of the ground floor is perfect for family as well as for celebrations and this has been a happy home with plenty of space for us to enjoy with friends- and for the children to have some private space to entertain their friends too. All of the bedrooms are very spacious and the principal bedroom is a quiet haven where we can relax and sleep at night! Although we like our privacy, the neighbours are friendly and many have children so you’ll soon meet other people. We had no idea how much there is to explore locally, from the walks from Gatton Park straight to the Green Ridge on the Downs – perfect for dogs- to the water sports at Hove Lagoon, It’s a gold mine of activities to enjoy!”
