Udimore Road, Broad Oak, Rye, East Sussex

This beautifully refurbished and modernised detached family home is located on the edge of the charming village of Broad Oak with stunning views across the Brede Valley. Originally built in the 1930s it still enjoys delightful period features but with all the contemporary attributes required. It is approached through solid wood gates that open onto a driveway where you can park three cars or through a charming pedestrian gate with a pathway flanked by impressive shrub and flower beds.

It has an appealing exterior with the mixture of old and new and this is reflected once you cross the threshold. High end herringbone oak effect laminate flooring flows through almost the entire ground floor and is particularly effective in the superb light and bright, dual aspect open plan kitchen/dining room with its trendy wide Crittal Style French doors to the garden, a vast three meter black aluminium window over the sink and an attractive bay window. The kitchen includes modern shaker style wall and base units with Calacatta gold silestone worktops housing a Neff double oven, an American style fridge freezer and an integrated dishwasher as well as a wine cooler, induction hob and extractor built into the island/breakfast bar, while the dining area has a large bay window providing even more natural light. There is an adjacent fitted utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer as well as a downstairs cloakroom.

The well-proportioned lounge is delightful with its decorated chimney breast, brick surround fireplace and log burning stove as well as painted ceiling beams, dado and picture rails and a bay window with plantation shutters that are also found on all the other front bay windows. This has a door to a ground floor double bedroom that could always be used as an office or snug and has French doors to the rear garden.

On the first floor there is a modern family bathroom and three double bedrooms with front facing views as far as Hastings Ridge including one that could make an excellent study and the principal that includes fitted wardrobes, a dressing room and a trendy en suite shower room.

The fully enclosed rear garden includes a large gravel terrace for al fresco entertaining. . The terrace leads to a beautifully converted building that is now a delightful studio apartment with a vaulted ceiling, double bed and small seating area, kitchenette and en suite shower.

What the Owner says:

We moved here a few years ago as we loved the views and location and we felt it had a warm and welcoming atmosphere that particularly appealed to our son, although it needed quite a lot of ‘TLC' to bring it up to date. We spent about 18 months upgrading the property creating the open plan kitchen/dining room, installing new windows and adding the exterior cladding as well as putting in new bathrooms and converting the smoke house into the studio apartment. However we are now starting a new chapter in our lives and hope that new owners will enjoy and appreciate everything we have done to upgrade this delightful family home.
