Guide Price: £450,000 to £475,000. Situated within the ever-popular Cedar Drive development, this attractive three-bedroom detached home enjoys an enviable position just a short stroll from highly regarded infant, junior and primary schools, the village centre, Country Park and the Downs Link. It is, quite simply, a superb setting for family life.

The property offers well-balanced and versatile accommodation, perfectly suited to families, downsizers or those seeking generous living space in a peaceful residential location. A welcoming entrance hall provides access to all principal ground floor rooms, along with a convenient cloakroom and staircase to the first floor.

A particular highlight is the impressive open-plan lounge/dining room. Filled with natural light from a charming bay window, the living space offers excellent flexibility for a variety of layouts. The dining area is ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining, with double doors opening seamlessly into the conservatory. Overlooking the rear garden, this bright additional reception space provides an inviting area to relax or host guests throughout the year.

The separate kitchen is well appointed with ample work surfaces and storage, and enjoys direct access to the garden. For those looking to enhance and modernise, there is clear potential to reconfigure the layout and create a striking open-plan kitchen/diner, subject to the usual consents.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms continue the home’s sense of space, complemented by a contemporary refitted bathroom featuring a stylish white suite and modern finish.

Externally, the property is equally appealing. A detached garage and driveway provide convenient off-road parking to the front. A side gate leads to the rear garden — a true feature of the home — offering excellent privacy and backing directly onto Pevensey Road playing fields. With its own rear access gate, the garden is perfectly suited to families, dog owners or anyone who values open green space on their doorstep.
