2 bed flat to rent

The Green, Rottingdean BN2

Tucked away in Olde Place Mews, just off The Green in Rottingdean, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers a light, practical living space with the village's independent shops, cafés and seafront all within walking distance.

The apartment has its own entrance at ground-floor level, with stairs leading up to the main accommodation. Once upstairs, the layout is arranged around an open-plan kitchen, living and dining room, with plenty of natural light and a lovely outlook over the neighbouring gardens.

The living space has room for a sofa and dining table, with a contemporary fitted kitchen positioned at one end. A Juliet balcony brings in additional light and fresh air, with views across the greenery of the surrounding gardens. It's a particularly nice feature, offering a connection to the outdoors while being tucked away from the activity of the village.

There are two bedrooms, both offering comfortable accommodation, with the flexibility to use one as a guest bedroom or home office if needed. A bathroom with a bath and overhead shower completes the main living accommodation.

A real bonus is the substantial loft space, accessed via an internal staircase. While intended for storage rather than living accommodation, it provides a generous amount of additional space that's particularly useful for keeping everyday living areas uncluttered.

The location is another big part of the appeal. Rottingdean's High Street, The Green and the beach are all just a short walk away, making it easy to enjoy village life on foot. Brighton is also within easy reach, whether for work, shopping or evenings out.

The Area

Rottingdean has the feel of a traditional Sussex village, with the added benefit of being right beside the sea and just a few miles from central Brighton.

The High Street has a good mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs, including The Duck Inn and The Plough Inn. There's a butcher, grocery shops, a post office and plenty of places to stop for coffee or something to eat. It's the sort of village where you can do most of your everyday errands on foot.

The Green and village pond sit at the centre of Rottingdean, with Kipling Gardens tucked away just off the High Street. The recreation ground, tennis courts and playground are all nearby, while the village hosts regular community events throughout the year.

The beach is a short walk from the apartment, with access to the Undercliff Walk, which follows the coastline towards Brighton Marina in one direction and Saltdean in the other. For a change of scenery, Beacon Hill Nature Reserve and the South Downs offer miles of open countryside, with views across the coast.

It's a location that makes it easy to spend time outdoors, enjoy the local independent businesses and still have Brighton close enough for work, shopping and evenings out.

St Margaret's Church of England Primary School and Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School are both within the village.
