Downsway, Woodingdean

Guide price £450,000 - £475,000. Coming to the market for the first time in many years, this much-loved family home in Woodingdean offers generous space, flexible accommodation and a wonderful sense of calm. Positioned in a quiet residential setting, the house has been carefully maintained over time and now presents an exciting opportunity for the next owners to shape it to their own style. 

You approach through a mature landscaped west-facing front garden, where established planting and a charming pond create a welcoming first impression. A long private driveway provides convenient parking for several cars, and the house can be entered either through the conservatory or directly into the kitchen. 

The kitchen sits at the heart of the ground floor and is arranged with units along the walls and space for a breakfast table making it a practical everyday hub of the home perfect for spending time with loved ones.  

Across the hallway, the living and dining room forms a generous open-plan space. Large windows overlook the front garden and fill the room with natural light, while the layout offers plenty of space for both relaxing and entertaining. From here, doors lead through to the conservatory – a lovely sunny spot where doors can be opened during the summer months to create an easy connection with the garden. At the other end, an open wooden staircase rises from this room to the first floor, adding character to the space. 

Towards the rear of the ground floor are two comfortable double bedrooms overlooking the back garden. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes, while both rooms enjoy a quiet outlook. Along the hallway sits the family bathroom fitted with both a bath and separate walk-in shower. A large airing cupboard provides useful storage, and there is also a separate WC next door. 

Upstairs the loft has been converted into two rooms, both previously used as bedrooms but could equally serve as a guest room, playroom or home office. These charming spaces, complete with bespoke built-in storage and access to generous eaves, offer excellent potential to be reconfigured into a spacious principal suite if desired. From this elevated position at the top of the hill, far-reaching views stretch across the Downs and out to the sea – you can see for miles. 

Altogether, this is a home with warmth, history and exciting possibilities – ready for the next chapter of family life.
