Vicarage Terrace, Rottingdean,Brighton, East Sussex, BN2

A wonderful opportunity to purchase a Grade II listed cottage in historic Rottingdean. This one-bedroom cottage is tucked away in a cul-de-sac in an idyllic location very near the Green, Kipling Gardens and the Village Pond. Sympathetically restored by the current owner, who has been using the property as a family holiday home for the past 20 years.

Well maintained over the years and recently the roof has been fully re-felted and re-slated. Downstairs is an open plan lounge-diner with a period fireplace and a beautiful wooden staircase.

From the lounge diner is accessed a bespoke kitchen and small courtyard to the rear. Upstairs to the left there is a very large bedroom with built in wardrobes and with ample capacity to hold a single and double bed. There is a wash basin in a rear alcove of the bedroom which could be replaced with a walk-in shower if desired. Upstairs to the right there is a tiled bathroom with basin, toilet and small bath. The cottage benefits from gas central heating throughout and has ample electrical sockets in all rooms.
