Coombe Rise, Saltdean

Guide price £550,000 - £600,000. Peacefully tucked away in Saltdean, this detached family home offers Downs views, a spacious garden, and a calming feel within easy reach of the sea, shops and schools.

The Property - Tucked away on a peaceful no-through road at the far end of Saltdean, this detached family home sits just moments from the South Downs National Park. With sweeping countryside views, a versatile layout and a generous tiered garden, it offers a rare balance of tranquillity and convenience, close to local shops and schools. From the garden and living spaces you can often hear horses in the fields beyond – a truly calming backdrop.

Approached via a front garden and detached garage, the house opens into a bright hallway. Off here is a tiled family bathroom with bath, WC and basin, and two ground-floor bedrooms - one currently used as a home office, equally suited as a playroom or dining room.

The dual-aspect living room is bathed in light, with space for dining, and spectacular views over paddocks and the Downs. Next door, a modern shaker-style kitchen with a pantry cupboard, and integrated Bosch dishwasher, flows into a utility room with direct access to both the front and rear gardens.

The landscaped garden stretches approx. 82 ft (25m) and is cleverly zoned. A raised patio makes the perfect spot for entertaining and steps lead down past established beds full of shrubs and flowers to a lawn. At the bottom a potting area with shed and space for a workshop sits beneath mature apple and cherry trees with a second lawn.

Upstairs, two further bedrooms have a retreat-like feel. The front bedroom offers a glimpse of the sea and built-in wardrobes while the rear bedroom takes in open field views. A second bathroom completes the picture, finished with blue tiles, large rainfall shower, vanity unit and basin. There are two generous eaves storage cupboards as well as a loft. The property benefits from a modern Vaillant ecoTEC combi boiler, and is double-glazed throughout.

A Note From The Owners - Wow, the sense of peace here is simply incredible. We love having these views at home in our daily life - it's so uplifting and spacious. And you can hear a pin drop here - we love that it's a no through road, so even with the windows open, there is no road noise. Instead, we enjoy the sound of the birds, and horses galloping in the fields. Coombe Rise is very unique - at the end of this short road, is a gate to the South Downs National Park. There are miles upon miles of walks in beautiful nature, on our doorstep, with everything from rolling hills to stunning sea views.

Coombe Rise is the kind of place where neighbours say hi and have a chat on the street, or just a quick friendly wave as we're dashing out. We received a warm welcome when we moved here some years ago and enjoy the relaxed feel of the community here.

With our home at the beginning of the road, we have expansive views from several sides of our house. Our next door neighbours, a couple, are an absolute delight - we love them and wish we could take them with us! They have been so kind to us and generous and are the easiest neighbours we have ever had the luck to live next to. When my husband has been away, they have been so kind in helping me with trips to the post office and vet when I didn't have a car. We look after each others pets whilst on holiday, and they even come and spend several hours a day keeping our bunnies company. We are truly blessed to have them next door.

We moved here some years ago from the city where we were living in a terraced house. We love the ease of being able to park directly outside our home here. It's great to have a detached house with side access on both sides and love having both a front and back garden. The back garden is beautiful and really large, with several terraced sections, each having a unique feel. We find this a very comfortable house, which feels very homely.

We love that Saltdean has its own beach, a great place to swim. My husband enjoys the company of dog walkers and joggers, whilst he has a short stroll along the undercliff path to Rottingdean. It's also possible to continue along to Brighton by foot or bike. The Saltdean Lido is such a unique gift to also have on our doorstep. It's a wonderful place to relax and swim year round, and also has a sauna, gym, library, restaurant, and music and film events.

We have found our home in Saltdean to be a true gem, enjoying the mix of its tranquility, with all that Saltdean has to offer, and the vibrancy of Brighton just up the road!
