Why you’ll like it:
At the end of a tranquil, no through road on the edge of a luxury development, built in traditional Sussex style with beautiful architectural detailing and eco- sensitive features such as ‘swallow bricks’, this detached property has immediate appeal. Tree-lined pedestrian pathways at the front and open countryside to the side deliver a particularly inviting approach and the driveway has an electric car charger by the garage. Inside, this big, bright home blends a sophisticated lifestyle with home comforts including energy efficient windows and doors, attractive blonde wood plantation shutters and optic fibre internet access. Through the front door, a bright hallway has a flawless finish- and a discreet guest cloakroom.

To your left, the sophisticated living room is a soothing retreat with glorious countryside views and plenty of space to share. Broad windows of dual aspect bathe the room in sunlight, the decoration is elegant and there’s an easy flow to the high- spec kitchen diner, perfect for everyday but also for parties.

Bright, cheerful and extending across the whole of the back of the building, the kitchen diner is designed to enjoy company with ample space for a big family table by the French doors to the garden for a seamless, social flow. Tucked safely away behind a peninsular island with a choice of lighting levels, this kitchen is top of the range - and it shows. Classic shaker units with brushed brass handles provide good storage, working surfaces are glittering quartz and high spec appliances include an AEG 5 ring gas hob beneath a hood, AEG combi oven and grill, and AEG fan oven at eye level. There’s a pull out larder as well as a fridge, freezer and wine cooler, and the dishwasher is also integrated for you.
As you’d expect of a home of this quality, there’s a separate utility/boot room with access to the driveway and garden gate. There is extra storage, an integrated washing machine, designated space for a dryer (the vendors are willing to discuss the one in situ) and a large, deep storeroom for coats and bags.

Outside, the garden is a tranquil haven to make your own where there is always a spot to sit in the afternoon sunshine. There’s a paved path to the garden gate and the lawn is level – a feature not always easy to find right on the edge of the South Downs! Unusually private, it is child and pet secure behind fencing, and with gardens, the tree-lined pedestrian walkway and your garage along its sides it is also very quiet and virtually fume free.

Upstairs, a bright landing has two organised cupboards and a hatch to the attic. At the front of the house, the first of the restful double bedrooms looks along the broad walkway to downland and has space for study. Across the landing, the guest bedroom, used as a teenage t.v. room, is very private with garden views and next door, the luxury bathroom is a timeless beauty with a shower above the bath and warming rails for towels. Also quiet and private, the third double bedroom is simple but stylish with garden views.

All about relaxing in a stunning setting with glorious, uninterrupted countryside views the principal bedroom is a dream come true, bathed in morning sunlight with calm decoration, ample space for fitted storage and a chic en-suite with a designer finish.

The friendly community of Peacehaven is surrounded by countryside including the Tye which is in the South Downs National Park – but you don’t have to pay a premium for being in the park itself. Popular with families and professionals with easy access to shops, cafes and restaurants as well as a park with sports facilities and a playground, popular schools both primary and secondary are a 4 min drive. Close to other coastal towns like Saltdean with its Lido, Rottingdean’s picturesque high street and Newhaven’s Sainsbury’s and ferry to France, the cinemas, waterfront restaurants and health club of Brighton Marina are just a 10-15 min drive. The footpath opposite takes you directly to countryside walks or to the park, so you don’t have to cross a road, and this is also a well-connected spot for Brighton, Lewes, Gatwick and London.
