The property

Tucked away on a peaceful cul-de-sac in the historic village of Rottingdean, this beautifully presented detached family home offers spacious and versatile accommodation across three floors. Designed for modern living, it also benefits from a separate one-bedroom annexe with its own kitchen and bathroom—perfect for multigenerational living, a holiday let, or rental opportunity.

A paved path leads through the well-kept front garden to the impressive front door, opening into a wide and welcoming entrance hallway. At the rear of the house, the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen/living space with underfloor heating and direct access to a lower patio—ideal for entertaining or family gatherings. The bespoke kitchen features cream cabinetry, black granite worktops, and a striking central island offering both storage and seating. To one side, a more formal dining area creates the perfect setting for family meals, while a cosy sitting room tucked just behind enjoys a peaceful outlook over the front garden. A separate utility/laundry room and a private study complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the first floor opens with a large window framing far-reaching views of the sea and the offshore wind farm. There are five generously sized bedrooms on this level, two of which benefit from modern en-suite bathrooms. The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden and features fitted wardrobes and a walk-in shoe cupboard. A stylish family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. A concealed staircase on the landing leads to a sixth bedroom in the eaves—a quiet retreat with its own wet room and breathtaking views across Rottingdean towards the sea, and the rolling fields of the South Downs National Park.

Outside, the rear garden is cleverly zoned to suit different needs and moods. A patio with a pergola provides an inviting dining space, while a lower lawn offers a great play area. A path winds through to the far end of the garden where a beloved climbing tree and play space once kept the children entertained. Two garden sheds and a smart annexe with a veranda sit at the rear boundary, enjoying views back towards the house. The garden is secure, with gated access to the front of the house, where you’ll also find a private garage and driveway.
