5 bed detached house for sale

Chailey Avenue, Rottingdean BN2

If you are looking for space, light and breathtaking views across Rottingdean towards the sea, this is a home that delivers on all three. Set in an elevated position, it makes the very most of its outlook while offering the kind of layout that works beautifully for modern family life.

A paved driveway provides off street parking to the front, with useful side access leading through to the garden. Step inside and the sense of space is immediate. The entrance hall is welcoming and well proportioned, leading to a front facing study that works equally well as a playroom or occasional fifth bedroom. A downstairs W.C sits conveniently off the hall.

To the rear, the home unfolds into a generous open plan kitchen, dining and living space that naturally becomes the hub of daily life. The white gloss kitchen is finished with black worktops and a matching black tiled floor, giving it a clean, contemporary feel. There is a breakfast bar for quick morning meals or keeping the cook company, along with ample storage and generous worktop space.

This is a sociable room in every sense. There is space for a formal dining table off the kitchen, while clever zoning allows sofas and seating areas to be arranged comfortably without losing the open plan feel. Large windows frame the view and flood the room with light.

Doors open onto a balcony that enjoys sea views and offers a fantastic place to dine al fresco or unwind at the end of the day. Steps lead down to the south-westerly lawned garden below, creating a layered outdoor space that feels both private and versatile.

Upstairs, four excellent double bedrooms continue the feeling of light and outlook. The two rear facing rooms are particularly special, both enjoying large windows and Juliette balconies that make the most of the panoramic views, with one benefitting from its own ensuite. A generous family shower room, finished in modern neutral tiling, serves the remaining bedrooms.

The home is energy conscious too, with solar panels, double glazing, underfloor heating to the ground floor and an efficient heating system. A substantial storage area beneath the house, accessed from the garden, provides valuable additionalspace for outdoor equipment or seasonal storage.

The area

Set along the East Sussex coastline, Rottingdean offers a unique blend of history, community and natural beauty. Its characterful High Street is lined with independent cafés, boutique shops, a local butcher, post office and grocery store, all leading down to the much-loved village duck pond.

Nature is never far away. The South Downs National Park surrounds the village, offering miles of walking and cycling routes. Beacon Hill Nature Reserve and Rottingdean Windmill are close by, while the seafront and Undercliff Walk provide dramatic coastal views and access to the beach.
