3 bed country house for sale

Michel Dene Road, East Dean, Eastbourne, East Sussex BN20

Commanding glorious views to the Downs, this is a beautifully presented and tastefully improved detached house of individual character.

Set within secluded gardens the property has been substantially improved in recent years with attractive double glazed windows in keeping with the period style and an impressive newly fitted kitchen which is open plan with the dining room. In addition to the recently constructed home office within the garden there is also a useful workshop. Only an internal inspection will convey the high appeal of this charming property.

Situated on the lower slopes of East Dean the property is particularly well placed for the amenities of the village and the local shopping facilities but still commands fine views toward the Downs and Belle Tout Lighthouse. East Dean offers a range of opportunities for an active social life. The village is surrounded by the scenic downland countryside of the South Downs National Park and is close to the iconic Severn Sisters coast line and Birling Gap beach. Eastbourne is about 4 miles distant offering a range of shopping facilities, theatres and one of the finest Victorian seafronts on the south coast. Sporting facilities in the Eastbourne area include 3 principal golf courses and the well known sailing marina. There is world class opera at nearby Glyndebourne and channel ferries from Newhaven.
