*** GUIDE PRICE £800,000-£825,000 ***

Attractive, detached, three-to-four-bedroom, split-level bungalow located in Ovingdean Village, set back from Longhill Road and presented in good decorative order, with a good-sized lawned front garden with mature shrub and flower borders, and block-paved driveway leading to a double tandem integral garage.

Ovingdean Village, nestled in the green and tranquil surroundings of the South Downs National Park yet only a short drive from Brighton city centre, offers the perfect blend of countryside calm and coastal convenience, with a village store, St Wulfran's church which dates from the 12th Century, and a local favourite – Wild Flour Pizza – located in the old part of the village. Just minutes from the neighbouring village of Rottingdean, the beach and a short drive to Brighton city centre with its mainline train station and the A27/A23 networks to Gatwick and London, Ovingdean is an ideal retreat for families wanting a semi-rural location while staying connected with all the benefits of city living nearby.

A glazed vestibule leads to a mahogany, raised panel front door which opens into a spacious split-level entrance hall with coat cupboard, storage shelf and space for hoover, plus access to the good-sized roof space which houses the hot water tank.

There is a good-sized kitchen/breakfast room offering westerly aspect views to the South Downs and sea, a range of wood-effect Shaker-style base and wall units with integrated four-ring ‘Neff’ gas hob and extractor hood over, ‘Neff’ eye-level oven and separate grill, stainless steel double drainer with single-bowl sink and mixer tap, space and plumbing for a dishwasher, tiled splashbacks and coved ceiling.

Accessed via double multi-paned doors from the hallway, the spacious living room has a sliding patio door and side light leading onto the westerly terrace, a feature natural stone fireplace and hearth with inset electric fire point, two wall light points, and neutral carpet. There’s an opening with sliding concertina doors into bedroom four/dining room which has a window to the side and its own door to the hallway. A separate utility room, with double-glazed door and window to the side pathway, has two storage cupboards and work surfaces, a stainless steel single-bowl sink with drainer, space and plumbing for a washing machine, and ample space for a fridge-freezer.

It also has an en-suite bathroom with a window to the side, panel-enclosed bath with mixer tap and shower attachment, pedestal wash hand basin and low-level WC, part-tiled walls and coved ceiling.

The garden has a level lawn area with flint wall boundary to one side, fenced boundaries to two sides, and mature shrub and flower beds.
