Longhill Road, Ovingdean

Set back from Longhill Road and accessed via a private driveway, this individual property is situated in an elevated and secluded position with its own shingle driveway and off-road parking for a number of vehicles, and benefits from wrap-around gardens with brick block pathways.

The panelled front door leads into a spacious tiled vestibule from where a further door leads through to the inner tiled hallway where stairs ascend to the first floor, offering an open-plan living space with a dual aspect which takes full advantage of the stunning sea and Downs views. The living area has sliding doors onto a decked balcony, a feature exposed brick fireplace with Tudor Rose tiled inlay and inset wood burner, and ample room for a family dining table, with attractive oak-engineered flooring flowing throughout to complete the stylish space. The current owners have fitted the kitchen with modern Shaker-style wall and base units that blend harmoniously with the living space, with Quartz worktops, an oak breakfast bar, and AEG appliances including a double oven, combination microwave, dishwasher and ceramic induction hob with stainless steel extractor hood over. A separate utility area, fitted with matching units and oak worktops, provides space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer and an upright fridge freezer, and a window and stable-style door lead out to the garden. Also on this level you'll find a bathroom with a white suite and the third bedroom, which provides access to the loft space which offers storage and scope to extend (subject to planning consents).

On the ground floor there are two double bedrooms – one with built-in wardrobes and both having views over the gardens – along with a modern bathroom with walk-in double shower with rainfall shower head and separate shower attachment on riser, freestanding double-ended bath and slate-effect porcelain tiles.

The double garage has been converted into a one-bedroom annexe with bi-fold part-glazed doors at the front which lead through to an open-plan living space. A separate shower room is located on the ground floor, and stairs lead up to the first-floor bedroom with eaves storage. To the rear, there is a private patio area enjoying a Southerly aspect.

The property has been landscaped with raised beds and entertainment areas where you can relax by the pond or out on the sun deck, surrounded by mature shrubs and trees including a plum tree, and a wild garden completes the calm, tranquil surroundings.
