The Green, Rottingdean, BN2

Tucked away in Olde Place Mews, just off The Green in Rottingdean, this two-bedroom ground-floor flat offers a practical, easy-to-live-in space with the village's independent shops, cafés and seafront all within walking distance. 

The main living space is open plan, combining the kitchen, dining and seating areas in one long room. There's space for a sofa and dining table, while the kitchen sits at the rear, with fitted units and worktop space arranged along either side. Doors open directly onto the garden, bringing in natural light and providing an easy connection between indoors and out. 

The garden runs along the rear of the property, providing a narrow but useful outdoor space. It's somewhere to enjoy a morning coffee, add a few pots and plants or simply sit outside during the warmer months, without the upkeep of a larger garden. 

There are two bedrooms, with the larger room positioned at the rear of the flat and the second bedroom towards the front. The layout offers flexibility for a couple, small family or someone looking for a separate home office or guest room. 

A bathroom with a bath and overhead shower sits between the bedrooms, with everything arranged across one floor. 

The real appeal here is the location. With Rottingdean's High Street, The Green and the beach just a short walk away, it's an easy place to settle into village life, while Brighton remains close enough for commuting, shopping and evenings out.

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 flat, 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. 

Schools 

There are several schools in and around Rottingdean. 

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

Longhill High School is nearby for secondary education, while independent options include Roedean School and Brighton College. 

Further education options include Brighton Metropolitan College, Varndean College and Brighton Hove & Sussex Sixth Form College (BHASVIC). 

School admissions and catchment areas should be checked directly with the relevant schools and local authority. 

Transport Links 

Rottingdean has regular bus services along the coast, connecting the village with Brighton Marina, Brighton city centre, Saltdean and the surrounding areas. 

Brighton railway station is a 20-minute drive away and provides direct trains to London Victoria, London Bridge and Gatwick Airport, as well as services along the south coast. 

By car, the A259 runs through the village, with the A27 and A23 providing connections towards Lewes, Worthing, Gatwick and London. 

For those who prefer to walk or cycle, the Undercliff Walk offers a traffic-free route along the seafront towards Brighton Marina.
