4 bed detached house for sale

Ashurst Avenue, Saltdean, Brighton, East Sussex BN2

Nestled in a highly sought-after location on the edge of open downland, this beautifully presented and thoughtfully restored three/four-bedroom detached home offers a rare blend of character, comfort, and contemporary refinement, with breathtaking direct views stretching across Saltdean and out to sea.
From the moment you step into the useful entrance porch, you are greeted with a sense of warmth and considered design. A door leads through to a welcoming hallway, flowing seamlessly into a stunning open-plan living space. This area is bathed in natural light and framed by double doors that open onto a raised decked balcony-an idyllic vantage point to enjoy uninterrupted vistas of the landscaped garden, the rolling countryside, and the coastline beyond. The living space retains its original teak flooring, which runs continuously through to the bespoke solid wood kitchen, fully fitted with integrated appliances, ample surface space, and three thoughtfully placed windows that capture views of the rear garden as well as an original chimney breast.
The charm continues into an additional reception room or fourth bedroom, featuring double doors that open out to a private, secluded patio-an enchanting space surrounded by mature trees, shrubs, and flowering borders, ideal for peaceful morning coffee or evening relaxation. Also on the ground floor is a useful WC/utility room, blending practicality with style.
Upstairs, the first floor houses three generously proportioned double bedrooms. Two benefit from built-in wardrobe cupboards, while the principal bedroom is distinguished by its original oak wood flooring and an en-suite shower room with corner shower cubicle, white suite with vanity sink with storage below and sylight window allowing natural light. The family bathroom is a true showpiece-exquisitely decorated and fitted with a freestanding bath, double shower cubicle, and a high-spec white suite, creating a luxurious spa-like retreat.
Beyond the main accommodation, the property offers even more potential. A detached study or office space, already functional, could be further developed into self-contained living quarters, subject to the necessary consents. Additionally, a charming conservatory-currently used as a potting shed-adds further versatility to the home.
Throughout, the property boasts exceptional decorative standards, with art deco flourishes and high-end finishes, testament to the care and vision of its current owners. It has undergone a comprehensive renovation, including full rewiring, new pipework and heating system, full insulation, replastered and new windows throughout.
Externally, the fully landscaped rear garden is a sanctuary of greenery and structure, featuring raised terraces, a striking water fountain, mature flower and shrub borders, a productive vegetable patch, and newly installed fencing defining the boundaries. Rear access is granted via double gates leading to a hardstanding suitable for a motorhome, while the front of the property offers off-road parking for two vehicles on a smartly block-paved driveway.
This is more than just a house-it is a meticulously restored home where every detail has been considered. Internal viewing is essential and available exclusively through the vendor’s sole agents.
