Rowan Way, Rottingdean, Brighton, BN2

Peacefully tucked away at the end of a quiet close, surrounded by beautiful Sussex countryside, this attractive family home will appeal to families looking to live close to the city, the coast and the rolling hills of the South Downs. With over 1600 sq. ft. to play with, there is room to spread out, enjoying four double bedrooms, two bathrooms and two beautiful reception rooms linking with a large garden, so you can entertain in style both inside and out.

Gardens to the front and rear have been landscaped and there is parking on the neat brick driveway or in the integrated garage which could also be ripe for conversion to create a fifth bedroom.

Externally, this house bears the classic linear form of Mid-Century Modern architecture. Inside it has been extended and modernised, so it is ready to move straight into. Stepping inside, it is clearly a well-maintained and stylish home with an immaculate finish throughout. From the front door, the scale of the building becomes apparent with a line of sight right through the house to the large garden to the rear. Three of the four bedrooms sit to the front of the house enjoying green views over the private front garden facing west. While two are dressed with single beds, they would house a small double alongside freestanding furnishings. The principal room benefits from access to an en suite shower room with stylish patterned floor tiles and a spacious shower cubicle, while bedrooms two to four have easy access to the family bathroom where the shower sits over the gleaming white bath suite.

Spanning the rear of the house, the living room and dining room offer ample space for entertaining or simply relaxing with the family. A wall of bi-folding doors links the space seamlessly with the garden to become an extension of the home during summer, where dining can take place both inside and out on the patio or lawn. The kitchen is open to the formal dining area below the atrium skylight, yet it feels like a separate room also very spacious with room for a kitchen table. Ample storage is found in white gloss cabinetry to include an integrated dishwasher, while all other appliances are freestanding. The range cooker has been seamlessly cut-in to the wooden worktops and space has been left for an American fridge freezer, a washing machine and tumble dryer all of which may be available by separate negotiation. Both gardens are set to lawn with leafy borders, sweet trees and flower beds. They can be made as high or low maintenance as your lifestyle affords and both have potential for further landscaping.
