Marine Drive, Rottingdean

Beautifully presented throughout its generous rooms, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is ready to move straight into. It sits as part of a development of homes, converted from a 1930s manor house, looking out over the English Channel, elevated high above the cliffs in Rottingdean along the coast. The building sits well-back from the road where an allocated on-site parking space is easy to access. Attractive on approach, the house bears many features from the 1930s era to include a beamed gable, hung tiles and leaded light windows, all of which have been well maintained.

This apartment sits elevated on the first floor, yet it has sole access to a private rear garden with views over the local landscape to the rolling hills of the South Downs. Stepping into the apartment from the communal hallway, it is clearly a beautifully maintained home with light and airy rooms. Open plan, the living room and kitchen offers ample space for entertaining and family time. There are clearly defined areas for sofas and chairs, alongside a dining table, with the kitchen running neatly along the rear wall. Oak flooring runs through the room, paired with white walls to suit all styles of furnishing and to complement the streamlined kitchen. White cabinetry offers a wealth of storage while the oven and gas hob are integrated, leaving space for an American fridge freezer and a washing machine which may be included by separate negotiation.

Both bedrooms are double with ample room for king beds and freestanding furnishings. While the principal bedroom boasts a chic ensuite bathroom with a full bath suite and shower over it, the second bedroom has easy access to the second bathroom across the hall which also benefits from a full bath suite and smart stone wall and floor tiles.

Vendor's Comments: - “It is incredibly peaceful living here with such gorgeous views over the Downs, but with the quiet beaches of Rottingdean and Ovingdean on our doorstep too. You can jump onto the bus into the city if need be, but we have loved the village life in Rottingdean as there is plenty to enjoy here with lovely pubs, restaurants and shops.”
