The Green, Rottingdean, BN2

Cavendish sits on The Green, right in the centre of Rottingdean, with the village's independent shops, cafés and pubs just around the corner and the beach a short walk away. It's a Grade II listed, three-bedroom house with high ceilings, generous rooms and plenty of natural light.

The entrance hall has wooden flooring, with a staircase leading upstairs and access through to the main living space.

The living and dining room stretches across much of the ground floor, with a large bay window looking out towards the front. High ceilings and a feature fireplace give the room plenty of character, while its size allows for a comfortable seating area and a proper dining table without either feeling squeezed in.

The kitchen is separate but connects easily with the living space. It's fitted with white cabinetry, integrated appliances and wooden flooring, with plenty of worktop and storage space. There's also a WC on the ground floor.

At the front of the house, the courtyard offers somewhere to sit outside and enjoy the comings and goings of village life. There's room for a small table and chairs, making it a lovely spot for a morning coffee or an evening drink, with the everyday bustle of Rottingdean just beyond the garden wall.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom is a good size, with built-in wardrobes, while the second bedroom also has fitted storage. The third bedroom could be used as a bedroom, nursery or home office, depending on what's needed. The bathroom has a bath with a shower overhead.

There's a lot to enjoy about living here, particularly the combination of space inside and everything that's within walking distance. The beach, the South Downs and Brighton are all easily accessible, but day to day, much of what you need is already in the village.

The Area

Rottingdean has the feel of a traditional Sussex village, with the added benefit of being right beside the sea and just a few miles from central Brighton.

The High Street has a good mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs, including The Duck Inn and The Plough Inn. There's a butcher, grocery shops, a post office and plenty of places to stop for coffee or something to eat. It's the sort of village where you can do most of your everyday errands on foot.

The Green and village pond sit at the centre of Rottingdean, with Kipling Gardens tucked away just off the High Street. The recreation ground, tennis courts and playground are all nearby, while the village hosts regular community events throughout the year.

The beach is a short walk from the house, with access to the Undercliff Walk, which follows the coastline towards Brighton Marina in one direction and Saltdean in the other. For a change of scenery, Beacon Hill Nature Reserve and the South Downs offer miles of open countryside, with views across the coast.

It's a location that makes it easy to spend time outdoors, enjoy the local independent businesses and still have Brighton close enough for work, shopping and evenings out.

St Margaret's Church of England Primary School and Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School are both within the village.
