Guide price £500,000 - £525,000. This well-presented 1930s semi-detached house is in a highly sought-after residential area in Saltdean and is the perfect home for a modern family looking for character and charm.

The Property

Set back from the road, and with a well-maintained shared front garden, is this 1930s semi-detached house in a highly sought-after residential location. Benefitting from a wealth of original features including an open fireplace, picture rails, and internal doors, as well as a stunning rear kitchen extension - it has character and charm in abundance. An added bonus - solar panels line the roof and have a feed-in tariff.

You enter past a driveway, with space for several cars, into a spacious porch that is currently home to a Black Hamburg Grape Vine bearing fruit. Double doors lead into a bright and welcoming living room with white-painted wooden floors, and a wood-burning stove. To the left of the living room is the modern family bathroom which has been beautifully renovated and features underfloor heating, white subway tiles, a white herringbone tiled floor, and a light wood vanity unit.

At the back of the ground floor is the highlight of this home. A rear extension spans the width of the property and natural light floods in from its three Velux windows and bi-folding doors. The outlook towards the garden is stunning, and the doors fold all the way back to provide a wonderful indoor-outdoor space. Occupying one side of the room is a well-presented wooden kitchen with a double Rangemaster oven and cupboards. In the centre of the room is space for a large dining table, and there’s plenty more space for a seating area, a music zone, or a desk for working from home. Light oak flooring with underfloor heating finishes the room off perfectly. Just off the kitchen is a luxurious pantry/utility room with a butler sink and plenty of storage space.

Stairs lead up to the first floor, which is home to three bedrooms. Each has beautiful white shutters on the windows and a serene outlook over the front or rear gardens.

Outside, there’s plenty of space to roam. The 75 ft long rear garden has mature raised beds, a pond, and access to Nutley Avenue - which leads to Longridge Avenue shops. There are two sheds, one at the front and one at the back, and the one in the rear garden can double as a home office.

This property is Freehold, and the council tax band is C.
