House For Sale £425,000
On a huge plot which sweeps from southeast to southwest, this fabulous three bedroom bungalow has a detached garage, off street parking and fabulous views which roll to the sea from all but one room (which enjoys the mature, west garden). With a gate at the end of the road to East Brighton Nature Reserve it’s easy to forget that you’re just 7 minutes from the Level at the heart of the city via Elm Grove, 3 from local amenities including an Ofsted good primary school in Woodingdean at the top of the hill, and 5 from the sea and Brighton Marina at the bottom of it. Freshly decorated, this sunlit home offers luxury, one level living, although there is plenty of space to grow with your family inside or out stnc (NB next door has a dormer in their loft). Ideal for families who like quiet nights, professionals who like to entertain or high end investors with Nuffield Hospital, Brighton General and Royal Sussex County Hospital within a 4-6 min radius by car or 20 by bus, Brighton’s centre and trains to London are 12-15 by cab.
With 1040 sq. ft (96.6m2) to enjoy, guests can relax in quiet seclusion in an elegant living room with picture perfect views to the sea and a flame effect fire. Perfect for parties, the bright and cheerful kitchen is well-planned and stylish with space for a family table as well as a breakfast bar, and it opens to the restful sunroom which has a door to the dining terraces and the lawn. Three light, spacious bedrooms, two framing the English Channel the other leafy views, are peaceful and the contemporary bathroom has recently been fitted. Outside, the detached garage has windows and a generous footprint of 158 sq. ft. (14.7m2). A sought after part of the city with astonishing views which most people think they must move out of the city for, this area is well connected as the city centre, Lewes and Gatwick are all a possible commute at 10, 20 and 40 minutes, (approx.). There are friendly high streets 3 minutes away both in Whitehawk and Woodingdean, and the al fresco lifestyle of Kemptown Village is only a 5 minute drive - and bus routes to the whole of Brighton & Hove and along the coast give older children a degree of independence, although they could walk to Brighton MET College in 10 minutes!

Soaring above Kemptown for uninterrupted light and stunning views which sweep to the sea and the glamorous Grandstand of the racecourse, this smart, double glazed home has the wow factor. The family sweep into the drive and enter the house through the sunroom, although there is plentiful free on street parking for guests and an impressive pedestrian entrance at the front which has an Italianate courtyard with space for tables and chairs and a waving palm for that instant holiday feel.
Beyond a welcoming porch, the front door opens to a big, broad hall with a cupboard for coats and beautiful, solid wood parquet underfoot which continues through into the elegant reception. Sunshine and sea views stream through this inviting room of dual aspect with 16’7 x 12’2 (5.05m x 3.71m) in which to spread your wings and a classic fireplace to enjoy – and we are told that the firebrick is still in place behind it, raising interesting possibilities stnc.
Perfect for parties, but also for every day, there’s an easy flow to the spacious kitchen diner at the back of the house. Lined with windows to bring the outside in, the views to the glittering sea are spectacular and the garden views enables a discreet eye to be kept on guests needs during celebrations. Thoughtfully designed with ample storage and family friendly working surfaces, integrated appliances include a gas hob, and a grill and a fan oven are at eye level. There is ample space for a table where homework can be encouraged and suppers shared, and there is also a breakfast bar for coffee and cake. Next door, the sunroom basks in the Sussex sun all day, and could also be a comfortable home office.
Outside, this garden is all inclusive as just a few shallow steps already have a handrail and lead to the south lawn with a paved area where you can sit and enjoy children playing on a large, level lawn – a feature hard to find in a city built on the South Downs. Tucked around the corner, there are two secluded dining terraces ideal for an al fresco lifestyle, made private by mature planting chosen for scent, fruit and all year interest and surrounded by other gardens, it is a tranquil retreat to return to after a busy day.
Returning inside, the first of the double bedrooms is simple but stylish to keep the focus firmly on the sparkling coastal vista, and next door the newly fitted bathroom, with a Mira Jump Shower above the bath, is light and airy with a warming rail for towels and nightclothes.
You are spoilt for choice for a principal bedroom as both the room at the front and the room at the back are almost equal sizes (at the back 13’1 x 10’10 or 3.99m x 3.30m, at the front 14’9 x 10’9 or 4.50m x 3.28). At the back, the bedroom is quiet and comfortable looking over a sea of green, and the fitted wardrobes join the hall cupboard, so these two bedrooms do not share a wall. At the front, the majestic third bedroom is all about relaxing in a stunning setting, where you can unwind enjoying the Italianate garden and open water which glitters at the bottom of the hill.
Agent says:
“This is a rare chance to buy a turn-key, easy one level home just moments from a nature reserve, but which still gives swift access to the city, universities, hospitals and the airports. With friendly local amenities, you get peace, privacy and parking- and it also offers an increasingly rare opportunity for a growing family to extend up and/or out.!”
Owner’s secret:
“As well as the beautiful views which change every day – and night – the house offers privacy whilst within easy reach of the Downs, the sea and the city. Light and airy with a social flow, this is an inviting home. Although there’s plenty of space as it is, there is a big attic and unusually large garden to inspire ideas, stnc. It’s quick and easy to collect visitors from the station, and with local bus routes they could be independent from a car for the duration. Everything you may need- schools, restaurants, stations, shops and cinemas are all within easy reach.”
