Description

The exclusive coastal village of Rottingdean is 10 mins drive from the outskirts of Brighton and surrounded by the glorious countryside of the National Park. Opposite fields where sheep graze this 3 bed, flint and brick terraced home with a sunny garden and free, on street parking was actually completed in 2013 to an exacting standard and energy management includes solar panels. Ideal for professionals and families with a recreation ground and access to Beacon Hill Nature reserve around the corner, there’s a choice of good primary schools within a 2 min drive, a secondary school is within a 7 min drive (14-15 mins on foot) and it is only 4 mins from the vibrant High Street and the sea. A cottage by name but not by nature, inside 115.79m2 (1246.34 sq. ft.) of bright, well-proportioned rooms combine stylish comfort with a sophisticated, sociable lifestyle.

A spacious living dining room with a contemporary finish opens to the garden and has glazed doors to the streamlined kitchen for seamless entertaining, inside or out. Outside, the sunny, west facing garden is sociable with a dining terrace looking over a lawn and there’s a useful downstairs w.c. on the ground floor. Upstairs, two bedrooms are quiet and comfortable doubles which don’t share a wall and enjoy a luxury bathroom whilst private at the top, you’re spoilt for choice of a principal as the 3rd bedroom is also generous in size, bathed in light with under eave storage and a chic shower room.

Rottingdean is popular with professionals and families wanting peaceful nights and easy parking. Good schools both state and private include local primaries and Longhill Secondary as well as Roedean 10 mins and Brighton College 11 (the latter 2 also have school buses). For health professionals, the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton General and Nuffield Hospitals are all within a 15-20 mins radius. Once home to Rudyard Kipling and pre-Raphaelite painter Burn Jones, Rottingdean has a village green with a pond and plenty of local shops, cafes and restaurants to explore.

An inviting space in which to relax or enjoy company a broad bay almost fills the front wall, the ceiling is high with an integrated A/V speaker system, there’s underfloor heating and French doors in the far wall bring the outside in.

There’s an easy flow into the kitchen, ideal for pets or a growing family, and of dual aspect it’s bright and cheerful with streamlined units and gleaming surfaces which deliver ample storage and working surfaces – and the magnificent range could stay, subject to circumstance.

“Enjoy the best of all worlds in this great house which delivers a fabulous lifestyle but also eco-sensitive features - all within walking distance of open countryside, the vibrant amenities of the High Street and the sea, and within easy reach of Brighton, Lewes and Gatwick.”

Owner’s secret:
“With views over countryside and easy access to the recreation ground and Beacon Hill Nature Reserve around the corner, the location also has everything you need within a few mins drive from cafes, bistro pubs, shops and a small Tesco to good schools and the sea -so there’s something for everyone. If you have children the primary school is a 10-15 min walk and there’s a bus route to the secondary school close by. Energy efficient and ideal for entertaining, the house opens to the garden in the summer, whilst in winter it is warm and welcoming. The recreation ground is very sociable with joggers, dog walkers and a playground. Tennis courts are planned there and the cricket ground is almost opposite the house. This is a lovely village to live in with friendly neighbours and lots on offer, but the bright lights of Brighton are close by when you want them.”
