3 bedroom Detached House for sale

Guide price £700,000 - £750,000 Freehold

Wanderdown Drive is a quiet cul de sac on a hilltop with far reaching views of the downs and the sea. Ovingdean is nestled between the sea and the South Downs, just a few miles outside central Brighton. Anyone who enjoys being outdoors will love the variety of walks the area has to offer. The undercliff path runs from Brighton marina for three miles along the coast to Saltdean and is also suitable for cyclists. There are many walks from the village; you can access the Balsdean valley bridleway or head south to the Rottingdean windmill and the Beacon Hill Local Nature Reserve is a stone’s throw away. Longhill High School is on your doorstep and Rudyard Kipling Primary school is a short drive away in Woodingdean.

This extremely spacious three double bedroom home is tucked into the hillside in Ovingdean with beautiful views from the roof terrace of the Downs and a glimpse of the sea. The garden is around twenty metres long and is home to an extraordinary ancient Yew Tree. There is a pear tree, two apple trees and a large mature sycamore, at the bottom of the garden, where you will also find the summerhouse and a garden shed. Different seating areas allow you to benefit from the sun at different times of the day.

One of the delightful surprises of this house is the interesting layout. You enter the house from the front on the ground floor, where the living room and kitchen breakfast room are located, while the bedrooms are all downstairs with direct access to the garden.

On the ground floor, the living room runs along the east side of the house where the best views are to be had. There is a wood-burning stove with an elegant surround, two large windows and double doors onto the roof terrace, so you can wander out to catch a glimpse of the sea at any time. There is also a fantastic view of the garden below from here. The kitchen breakfast room at the front of the house is over six metres in length and is beautifully fitted with a stylish contemporary kitchen with space for a five-burner Stoves range cooker. There is also a built-in American-style fridge freezer, an integrated Neff dishwasher, and an integrated washing machine. The floor is engineered oak which continues through to the hall area. On the half landing, on your way to the lower ground floor, you pass the study. The three double bedrooms are all downstairs and all have double doors onto the garden. In total the house has three bathrooms (one family bathroom and two shower rooms, one of which is an ensuite). Further benefits include a garage and off-street parking on the driveway. The central heating is run off a Viessmann boiler which is only six years old and has been regularly serviced.

What the owner says:

“We have thoroughly enjoyed our 9 years living in this property. It is a light, bright warm and spacious home, perfect for entertaining our family and friends. The garden has given us a lot of joy. Our neighbours are kind and considerate. The area is quiet and perfectly placed for walks along the beach and the Downs as well as being close to all that Brighton has to offer. Ovingdean is a very special place to live.”
