Skylarks, Rottingdean

Montpelier is an exquisite, detached home with four beautifully appointed double bedrooms and three bathrooms. The ground floor has been designed with entertaining in mind, offering flowing, open plan spaces, set to impress. Double fronted with a knapped flint and red brick façade rising into the gables, it feels every inch the country abode. Inside, the feel is contemporary, yet homely, using soft wood finishes and a warm neutral palette in each uniquely styled room bringing calm and cohesion throughout.

Nestled into the South Downs at Rottingdean in East Sussex, the luxury development of Syklarks enjoys the tranquillity of the countryside, fresh sea air, and easy access to the city-life of Brighton & Hove just four miles along the coast.

Designed to blend in with their countryside surroundings, the houses of Skylarks are built using natural materials, echoing the historic buildings of Rottingdean Village, famed for its smuggler history and gracious windmill sitting atop the hill looking out to sea. Flint and brick facades, timber cladding and slate roofs could be from another era, yet these houses have been built to the highest contemporary specifications using cutting edge technologies, ready for the modern lifestyle.

Parking is never an issue with both a forecourt and a double garage with an automated steel garage door, a quarry tiled floor and an electric car charging point – eco design all the way.

Stepping inside through the solid, engineered hardwood front door, you are welcomed into a beautiful entrance hall with wood effect tiled flooring, heated from below which runs seamlessly over thresholds to the glamourous kitchen and dining room ahead. A double door opening to the left reveals the sitting room, a place of sanctuary and comfort after a long day, while to the right is a generous study, or snug – depending on the family’s needs. Bespoke joinery forms mirror backed bookcases and cabinetry around the stone fireplace which brings warmth and atmosphere to wintery evenings.

Spanning the rear of the house, the kitchen, dining and family room is the heart of the home with clearly defined areas for kicking back with a movie, family suppers and for creative cooking in the streamlined kitchen. Luxury integrated Miele appliances in matt black and a mQuvee wine cooler come as standard in these homes, alongside a Quooker hot water and chilled filter water tap. Slab doors in a combination of oak veneer and lacquer finishes, with integrated handles sit above and below composite stone worktops with waterfall side panels to the kitchen island. From here, a wall of bi-folding, aluminium doors open to reveal the Indian sandstone patio and landscaped garden which becomes a natural extension of the home during summer, where the party can continue well into the evening as the sun sets over the hill.

Returning into the house, the first-floor bedrooms are beautiful doubles with soft carpet underfoot and green and leafy views from each window. Smart technologies continue on this floor with the Control4 Smart Home system controlling Lutron lighting, window blind systems, audio, heating, and video doorbell via a room keypad – or from the comfort of your bed. While the principal bedroom and second bedroom enjoy private access to en suite bathrooms, bedrooms three and four share use of the family bathroom. All come fitted with Duravit and Kaldewei sanitaryware, matt-black fittings and porcelain wall and floor tiles in a range of high-end, luxurious finish which will stand the test of time.
