Surrounded by the rolling hills of the South Downs and within easy reach of Brighton’s bustling city centre, this deceptively spacious four-bedroom detached home on Falmer Road offers versatile family living in a sought-after location. Set back from the road with its own garage and driveway parking, it combines generous internal accommodation with sociable outdoor spaces – perfect for entertaining, working from home, or simply relaxing in style.

Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated and extended, with bright, well-proportioned rooms across two floors. At its heart is a large, open-plan sitting and dining room (6.60m x 5.20m) – a welcoming space with wood floors, dual-aspect windows, and bold feature colours that give it warmth and personality.

Perfect for gatherings, it flows seamlessly into the streamlined kitchen (6.75m x 3.0m) and out to the conservatory, which doubles as an all-season dining spot with views of the garden.

Flexible bedroom accommodation makes this house ideal for growing families or those needing a home office. The ground floor has a comfortable double bedroom with garden views and access to a chic contemporary shower room, while upstairs you’ll find three further doubles – including two generous rooms with under-eaves character and a family bathroom.

Outside, the tiered rear garden offers several suntraps, including decking for outdoor dining, a hot tub area, and raised seating terraces framed by mature planting. The plot is private and enclosed – perfect for children and pets – and captures the afternoon sun.

Practicalities are well covered: there’s a detached garage (5.07m x 2.79m), plenty of storage, modern heating, and the property is move-in ready.

The historic coastal village of Rottingdean, once home to Rudyard Kipling and pre-Raphaelite painter Burn Jones, is popular with families and professionals as it has good schools and plenty of amenities including local shops, cafes, restaurants and a riding school to explore. For those who love the great outdoors it has quiet beaches and is surrounded by open countryside which leads to the South Downs National Park. You can cycle along the pedestrian undercliff walk to the yacht club, cinemas and waterfront restaurants of Brighton Marina in 20 minutes. 10 mins drive to Brighton Marina and about a 15-20 minute drive to Brighton and Hove’s international city centre bus routes – with bus lanes- along the coast and to the universities at Falmer are fast and frequent, and with speedy access to both the A27 and A23, Lewes, Gatwick and London become a possible commute.
