Tongdean and Withdean have long been heralded as the most sought-after areas to live in the city, and while much of the area was built mid-20th Century, many homeowners have chosen to develop their homes rather than burdening the cost of moving to a new house.

It is set well back from the road by neat planting and a driveway to fit several cars, then stepping inside it feels deceptively spacious and light. It is immediately clear this home has been beautifully cared for, and while the potential for development is there, you could also move straight in without changing a thing if need be.The hallway is wide and welcoming with a door leading first into the large living room to the right. Once two rooms, they have since been opened to create a stunning space with clearly defined areas for both relaxation and formal dining alongside the kitchen. There is space to dine within the kitchen too which has a modern-country feel with cream timber cabinetry and some integrated appliances, leaving space for others. The dining area spills out to the garden, ideal for summer soirees when it becomes a wonderful extension of the home. Set to lawn with a gracious tree at its centre and mature leafy borders, it is another blank canvas to be celebrated whether you are a family with children looking to play ball games or gardeners looking to plant an array of flowers and vegetables which will thrive in the all-day sunshine. It also offers enough space for the home to be extended if need be certainly food for thought.If easy accessibility is a requirement for you and your family, this chalet bungalow is ideal as the hallways are wide, and there are two large double bedrooms on the ground floor, alongside a spacious single room or study; ideal for those working from home. Both double rooms have built-in wardrobes alongside ample space for freestanding bedroom furnishings, and with energy efficient double glazing, you can always ensure a truly restful night's sleep. These rooms share use of the main bathroom which has a classic modern design with natural stone tiles on the walls around the bath which has a rainfall shower over it.

Extended into the huge loft space with additional dormers on the north and southerly elevations, there are two further double en suite bedrooms on the first floor. They are incredibly generous and have tall vaulted ceilings which add to their character.
