Soaring above Woodingdean and downland which rolls to the sea, this home has the wow factor which begins as you sweep past a sheltered, south facing garden by frost free, stone resin off street parking for several cars. Standing out even from its prosperous neighbours with clean lines and double glazing in the broad bay windows, no expense has been spared to create a dream home.
Inside, a double glazed porch has space for seating and the smart Karndean flooring continues into an inviting hallway. To the right, the elegant living room has picture perfect views, and south facing, the windows currently have a film to reduce the dazzling sunshine which could easily be removed. An open fireplace is a classic beauty and a central glazed door leads to a private dining room where the lights can be dimmed for ambience.
At the heart of the home, the streamlined Wren kitchen is beautifully designed with sophisticated storage and quartz working surfaces which glitter beneath a choice of lighting. High spec appliances include an AEG touch induction hob, combi and a fan oven and the fridge freezer and dishwasher are also integrated for you. At the back of the house, there is a discreet utility area in the family snug, which is bright beneath skylights and currently a quiet study. At the top of the stairs, the light landing has access to a large attic (food for thought perhaps stnc) and the luxury bathroom has a flawless finish and space for both a bath and separate, walk in dual head shower.
Peaceful and private at the back, the first of the double bedrooms has a whole wall of wardrobes and garden views whilst at the front, the principal room is a dream come true with astonishing, uninterrupted views over rolling countryside to the sea. With ample storage and calm decoration to keep the focus firmly on the unique vista it is ready for your move, and the third bedroom at 8’11 x 8’5 (2.72m x 2.57m) is a generous single, currently used as a dressing room with organised storage, although the cupboard could easily be removed.
Outside, the garden is an oasis of calm surrounded by a sea of gardens, expertly landscaped with imaginative planting for all year interest and an irrigation system installed. Child and pet secure the dining terrace is absolutely private, so it is a sheltered haven ideal for the al fresco lifestyle our famous coastal resort is famous for.
With its own gated entrance from the front, the annexe is another private space to enjoy. A glamorous refuge ideal for family of any age who want independence or need a little extra help, it offers an on trend open plan lifestyle all on one level. Double glazed and well insulated, the internal finish is high spec. The sunlit, living room has lots of space in which to work, rest or play and the streamlined kitchen with high end integrated appliances lines one wall, so although sociable it does not dominate the space. The shower room is chic with a Triton Cara shower, so water pressure shouldn’t be an issue. Light and spacious, the meticulous attention to detail continues in the double bedroom, which is designed to function as a sophisticated home office at the moment as it has its own entrance from the garden.

Owner’s secret:
“As well as the beautiful views which change every day – and night - we have enjoyed total privacy whilst within easy reach of the sea and the city. Light and airy, this has been a very happy home with lovely neighbours and we have enjoyed plenty of parties celebrating birthdays and holidays here! With so much space, we were always able to welcome friends when they wanted to stay over-we could easily collect them from the station and with local bus routes they could be independent from a car for the duration. The house and annexe work well together for inter- generational living as it has plenty of space of its own for entertaining. Everything you may need- schools, restaurants, stations, sailing club, stables and cinemas are all within easy reach, which is why we have stayed here for 17 years! Our new step will be bittersweet, but we hope that you will enjoy it here as much as we have.”
