Tumulus Road, Saltdean Brighton, East Sussex, BN2

Situated in an elevated position, enjoying some of the best panoramic sea and downland views in the area, this wonderful, detached family home has been modernised to a high standard and boasts three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a fabulous open-plan living/kitchen/dining room.

On entering the property, a generous hallway with built in shoe storage gives access to all the accommodation. Washed grey oak effect flooring flows seamlessly throughout the property and contrasts with the statement Farrow & Ball “Downpipe” woodwork.

A sliding barn door leads through to the light and bright open plan Living/Kitchen/Dining Room, with wrap around glazing giving superb panoramic views from the Downs to the North and to the Sea to the South. Arranged around a custom four seat island, the kitchen is a mix of understated white units and bespoke oak shelving, and integrated Siemens Ovens and Microwave, there is also a wine fridge, induction hob, dishwasher, double fridge freezer and instant boiling water tap. The space has been thoughtfully arranged to give dining and lounging zones, giving a spacious and welcoming feel.

The family bathroom has a modern white suite with a rainfall shower over the bath, ample storage under the sink unit and a fitted cupboard housing the washing machine.

The main bedroom is arranged as a suite with walk-through dressing room and bathroom, and a restful sleeping area. Ample fitted wardrobes span one side of the room, with a separate WC, walk in shower with feature black slate tray and dual rain and waterfall shower head, black crittal style shower screen, modern free-standing bath and feature Lusso Stone double vanity sink. There are two further bedrooms with fitted wardrobes.

Outside the property, to the front is off road parking leading to a single garage, and an attractive tiered front garden. To the rear the garden has been landscaped to give a large, raised deck with fabulous sea and downland views, and a neat lawn flanked by well-stocked borders, a pergola covered seating area that benefits from the evening sun, and a large Indian Sandstone Patio for al-fresco dining. There is also a handy workshop/garden store with power and light under the property.

This rarely available impressive residence occupies an enviable elevated position with lovely gardens and superb views. Whilst beautifully presented and thoughtfully designed for modern living, there is further scope to extend (STNC), and the current owners have plans drawn up for a garage conversion that would give a fourth bedroom (available on request).

Brighton marina and city centre are just a short drive or bus hop away and the popular village of Rottingdean is moments away.

Sporting and recreational facilities nearby are extensive including the recently refurbished Grade II* Saltdean Lido heated outdoor pool, bowling club, golf clubs, under-cliff path for cycling or walking, and footpaths over the surrounding countryside of the South Downs National Park, or from the end of the road by-way to the attractive village of Rottingdean, with its pubs, shops and village green.

Brighton mainline railway station is a short drive away as well as Brighton Marina and the main shopping centre along with the fashionable Lanes and access to the theatre, bars and restaurants.
