Sophisticated design has created a fabulous home which makes every day living both easy and stylish. With a generous 1,947 square feet to play with (approx.), strong lines are accentuated by energy efficient windows and glass doors to bring the light and views delivered by this elevated location between the sea and the Downs into the heart of the home.
Striking outside, inside, the hallway is inviting with access to the garage, which has power and a window, and a cloakroom and utility with a door to the garden are discreetly tucked away between two rooms, one currently a treatment room with a handy sink, and the other a private study.
Running along the whole of the back of this substantial home, the large family room is ideal for sharing with family or friends. Full of sunshine, the far wall is mainly glass with twin sets of broad doors out to the garden – and there’s skill behind the design as there’s ample space for sofas and a dining table, whilst the kitchen’s safely tucked away from the main flow to the garden behind a sociable breakfast bar. Uniquely stylish, white, reflective units are paired with mood boosting orange work surfaces, and it is ready to party with an integrated touch induction hob, two Zanussi ovens, fridge, freezer and dishwasher.
Outside, the garden is a private oasis with a lit, decked terrace for al fresco dining and space for a hot tub. The broad, private lawn provides a secure place to play – and the timber slide, climbing frame and swing set could stay, subject to circumstance and negotiation.
Upstairs, two double rooms at the front are bright and cheerful, each ready to move into and the dual aspect room above the garage has stunning sea views through both the south window and French doors which open to a Juliette balcony from which to enjoy the vista to the full.
The master suite is all about relaxing in a restful setting with an east wall of glass to bring in the morning sunshine and views of rolling downland you can enjoy even from bed, whilst doors lead out to the veranda for breakfast – and you’re not overlooked. A spacious dressing area with fitted wardrobes leads to a chic en suite shower room where you’ll be instantly refreshed beneath the dual head shower. Next door, the guest room is generous and quiet with broad glass doors framing countryside views which lead to the glamorous balcony which at 22’1’’ x 5’8’’ is big enough to share in comfort! Quiet at the top of the house, a vaulted landing has a spa like shower room at one end, whilst at the other, the sixth large bedroom’s light, airy and also ready for your move.
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 a room from which to work from home and ground floor spare bedroom 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.”
