Property descriptiona beautifully presented and extensively modernised detached house with heated outdoor swimming pool, private driveway, and exceptional living space, located just 10 minutes from central Brighton.

Offering over three floors of flexible accommodation, this property combines high-spec finishes, multi-generational living potential, and strong indoor-outdoor flow, creating a rare opportunity to secure both lifestyle and practicality in one home.

Ground floor

Entering at raised ground floor level, the home opens into an impressive open-plan reception space, seamlessly connecting the lounge, dining area, and kitchen. This layout offers both flow and flexibility, with the option to create more defined spaces if desired. The lounge is centred around a wood-burning fireplace with a marble surround, adding warmth and character.

The kitchen is well equipped for entertaining, featuring a range-style cooker with 8-burner hob, double ovens and a separate grill, alongside a composite stone sink with marble-resin finish.

The ground floor bathroom has been upgraded with Qualis brass fittings, including a brass waterfall shower unit, creating a refined and modern finish.

Lower Ground Floor

The lower ground floor hosts three generously sized bedrooms alongside a stand out family bathroom, finished to a high specification with premium fittings including a statement copper bath by Chadder & Co, a Lusso Stone basin, and high-quality sanitary ware including rak toilet and bidet. This level benefits from engineered wood flooring with zoned underfloor heating throughout and offers direct access to the garden, as well as its own side entrance via the utility room, making it particularly well suited to guest accommodation, workspace, or more independent use, especially beneficial for multi-generational living where separation and privacy can be maintained without losing connection to the main home.

First floor

The top floor provides two further double bedrooms along with ample eaves storage, completing a layout that supports both privacy and long-term adaptability.

Garden & Lifestyle

Externally, the rear garden is arranged over two tiers, both finished with paved patio areas designed for entertaining and relaxation. The upper tier features a large heated outdoor swimming pool, with the entire pool system upgraded approximately two years ago, including a modern heat pump and salt chlorination system, offering improved efficiency, lower maintenance, and enhanced usability.

Practical Features

The home has been significantly improved by the current owners, offering a turnkey solution with a considered balance of style and practicality. Additional features include a private driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, EV charging point, and a garage/store typical of the period.

Location

Located in the sought-after residential suburb of Woodingdean, the property is within walking distance of local shops and cafes, a gp surgery, library, and schools, and just a 10-minute drive into central Brighton, offering the ideal balance between space, accessibility, and lifestyle. The A27 also provides convenient routes to the countryside and wider road networks, while independent schools such as Roedean and Brighton College are within a short drive.

From the Owners

We've spent countless hours in the garden, swimming, having BBQs, and relaxing outside in the evenings. It's also special waking up and seeing the sea, and at night watching the moon and the fishing boats out on the water.

The downstairs has been incredibly flexible for us, working as a gym and double office, with scope for even more (we had plans for a cinema room). There's a real sense of space, and the underfloor heating makes it comfortable year-round, especially stepping out of the bath.

The location strikes a great balance, close enough to Brighton for easy access, but without the crowds. Being near the A27 makes getting to the countryside and further afie
