Property deep dive

Exterior and entrance 

From the front, this beautiful detached family home is in keeping with the mock Tudor properties that can be found along Dean Court Road, and throughout Rottingdean. A paved in-and-out driveway curves around the front and colourful mature trees frame the house. At either side of the property are symmetrical archways that lead through to secluded side gardens and through to the back of the property. Steps lead to the black front door which opens into a spacious entrance hall.

Kitchen, living room, and hidden pantry

Light draws you into the expansive open-plan kitchen/living room which has been designed and built by the current owners. The space welcomes entertaining, with different ‘zones’ dedicated to cooking, eating, and relaxing. At the heart of the room is the deep olive-coloured shaker-style kitchen with brass handles and a white marble-effect worktop and splashback. No expense has been spared here and it has a large central island with bar stools, state-of-the-art Fisher & Paykel integrated appliances, and a boiling water and filter tap. Concealed behind faux cupboard doors is a walk-in butler’s pantry, which will become the chef of the family’s dream room. Shelves line the walls ready for groceries, and there’s an additional sink for practicality. Steps lead down to a spacious laundry/utility area.

A dining area sits in front of a large glass sliding door with a stunning view of the garden. Round to the right, the living room is located in front of another sliding door and has space for large sofas and a sideboard. The whole space is bright and airy, and when the doors are open you feel like you have been transported abroad.

Playroom and office 

Off the living room is a secondary reception room that is currently being used as a children’s playroom. With a pretty outlook over the front garden, and tucked away from the rest of the house, this space offers versatility to the next owners and could easily be closed off to create a second lounge or cinema room. On the opposite side of the kitchen is an additional room that is currently being used as a home office. With sliding doors out to the garden and a calming feel to it, it would also work well as a fifth bedroom or guest suite.

Boot room and cloakroom

Off the kitchen, a pink-painted door leads to a geometric tiled boot room and practical downstairs cloakroom. In the winter months, this serves as a perfect side entrance to the home where muddy shoes and coats can be left to dry.

Garden

The garden is a real gem of this property and becomes an extension of the house in the summer months when the doors can be flung open. A large patio with light grey tiles stretches across the house, providing the perfect place to dine al-fresco. Steps lead to a gently sloping lawn where loungers can be placed to enjoy the sunshine. Tree and shrub borders provide privacy, and raised vegetable beds provide the opportunity to fill the pantry. Kids will love the designated play area which has a sunken trampoline and fort overlooking the paddocks and horses directly behind.

Bedrooms and family bathroom

Carpeted stairs with a beautiful off-black painted bannister lead to the first floor, where you’ll find four good-sized bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal suite is located at the back of the property and sliding doors open to a balcony overlooking the garden and offering panoramic views of the paddocks beyond. Country-chic white-painted barn doors open to reveal a well-fitted walk-in wardrobe and an additional storage space that would be the perfect en-suite. The bathroom has beige tiles and a sage green vanity unit, in keeping with the modern country feel of the first floor. The two bedrooms at the front of the house have been neutrally decorated and have beautiful views over the rooftops towards Rottingdean Windmill. The final bedroom at the back of the house has been cleverly painted to add a pop of colour and is a wonderfully fun children’s bedroom.
