The Property

Situated on a large corner plot and with the potential to extend (subject to planning permission) is this spacious family home with unrivalled views over Saltdean, towards the sea, and the South Downs. Constructed and occupied by a respected local developer in the mid-1950s, this is the first time the property has come onto the market - and is a rare find.

As you approach the property, you are met with easy-to-maintain front and side gardens with a lawn, and brick and hedged boundaries. There's a fully paved driveway, with space for off-street parking and a double garage (which also has access inside the house).

A pretty arched doorway leads to a porch, and a spacious hallway. Glass sliding doors open into the living room, which is bathed in light from two bay windows. More sliding doors lead into the dual-aspect kitchen with modern white cupboards, integrated appliances, and grey floor tiles. There’s space for a breakfast table and from here you can enjoy views over the rooftops and out to sea. There’s an adjoining utility room that leads out to the rear patio garden with plant borders.

Also on the ground floor are two good-sized double bedrooms, and a family bathroom. Both bedrooms have built-in storage and the principal bedroom at the front of the home has an en-suite shower room.

Upstairs there are two additional bedrooms, both with unique curved windows, and access to the eave space. There is huge potential to extend this space over the double garage (subject to planning permission).

This property is Freehold and the council tax band is E.
