5 bedroom house for sale

Overview

This property was originally constructed as a two-bedroom bungalow and has been extensively renovated to create a stunning, detached two-storey residence, in a highly coveted position in one of Ovingdean's best addresses. To the front there's a rolling hill which leads down to the sea and links to the wider range of the South Downs National Park, providing easy access to country walks. The house has been completely remodelled inside and out and extended to include an impressive leisure complex to the rear, comprising an indoor swimming pool, gym and office space. There is ample off-street parking on a private driveway as well as a garage and plenty of storage space, and the gardens to the rear are well-established and have been beautifully maintained. The interiors are bright and contemporary, with great attention paid to the availability of natural light and the flow through the accommodation: the house feels bright and airy, and is attractively appointed with modern bath and shower rooms, a stylish farmhouse-style kitchen and neutral colours throughout it's ready for immediate occupation, but there's still plenty of opportunity to personalise to suit the tastes of the new owner. Notable additions include bifold doors, engineered wood floors and a wood-burning stove, which give the house a premium feel. The accommodation is fantastically versatile and begins with a welcoming entrance hall, opening to a dual aspect sitting room which runs the full depth of the house, a separate family room, a formal dining room to the rear and a well-equipped kitchen overlooking the garden. The extension at the back features an air-conditioned indoor swimming pool, the constant current is an 'Endless Pools Fastlane' which is a fully customisable swim system that allows you to set swim workouts via an app for different durations and speeds. Behind the pool area there's a gym, and on the first floor, a separate office space with kitchenette for a distraction-free zone for home working. The bedrooms on the second floor are all good-size doubles, and the principal suite has an en suite shower room while the remaining bedrooms share a family bath and shower room.OutsideThe house is set on a pleasant residential road which has the seafront at the southern end and provides access to Ovingdean's amenities to the north. A private driveway to the front has space for several cars, while the internal garage has been partly converted to create a storage room; it could, however, be easily turned back into a tandem garage for two vehicles. The rear garden is partly walled and feels fantastically private. It's split into two sections: in the first area, a terrace adjoins the house and the swimming pool complex opens onto the lawn via a set of bifold doors, so the room can be opened up on warmer days. There are well-stocked borders around the boundary, and a set of stone steps leads up to an archway leading through to the second part of the garden, where there is an additional area of lawn, a decking terrace and a garden shed.SituationThe village of Ovingdean is a charming coastal community between the neighbouring villages of Roedean and Rottingdean, with both the sea and countryside within easier reach and lovely walks along the ridge to the windmill in Rottingdean or the cliff walk to Brighton.
