*** guide price £625,000-£650,000 ***

Nestled in a highly sought-after location on the edge of open downland, this beautifully presented and thoughtfully renovated three-bedroom detached home offers a blend of character and comfort, with breathtaking views over Saltdean and out to sea.

From the moment you step into the entrance porch, you are greeted with a sense of warmth and considered design. A welcoming hallway flows seamlessly into a stunning open-plan living/dining space, bathed in natural light and with double doors that open onto a raised decked balcony, with uninterrupted views over the landscaped garden across Saltdean to the coastline. The living space retains its original teak flooring, which runs continuously through to the bespoke solid wood kitchen, fully fitted with integrated appliances, ample work surfaces including a breakfast bar, the original chimney breast and three windows which capture views of the rear garden. From here you have access to a useful separate utility room with WC. An additional living room completes the ground floor accommodation, featuring double doors that open out to a patio area surrounded by mature trees, shrubs, and flower borders, ideal for a peaceful morning coffee or evening relaxation.

The first floor houses three generously proportioned double bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in wardrobes, while the principal bedroom has original oak wood flooring and an en-suite WC finished with a classic white suite. The family bathroom is exquisitely decorated and fitted with a freestanding claw-foot bath, double shower cubicle, and a high-spec white suite with black sanitary-ware, creating a luxurious retreat.

The property offers even more potential by way of a detached study/office space, already functional, which could be further developed into self-contained living quarters, subject to the necessary consents. Additionally, a charming conservatory – currently used as a potting shed – adds further versatility.

Externally, the fully landscaped rear garden features raised terraces, paved patio areas, a striking water fountain, pergola, mature flower and shrub borders, a productive vegetable patch, and newly installed fenced boundaries. Rear access is granted via double gates leading to a hardstanding suitable for a motorhome, while the front of the property offers off-road parking for two vehicles on a smartly block-paved driveway and easy access onto Telscombe Tye, perfect for countryside walks.

With art deco flourishes and high-end finishes, the property boasts exceptional decorative standards throughout, thanks to the stylish vision of its current owners. It has undergone a comprehensive renovation, including full rewiring, new heating system and pipework, full insulation, replastering and new windows throughout.

Every detail has been considered in this meticulously restored home and viewing is highly recommended.
