Nestled in the highly sought-after coastal suburb of Saltdean and enjoying a truly exceptional position backing directly onto the beautiful open landscapes of Telscombe Tye, this impressive detached family residence has been thoughtfully modernised and substantially extended to create a home of outstanding quality, space, and versatility. Designed to maximise natural light throughout, the property takes full advantage of its enviable setting, with a magnificent southeast-facing rear garden offering a wonderful sense of privacy, far-reaching sea views from the elevated barbecue terrace, and an idyllic environment for both relaxed family life and sophisticated outdoor entertaining.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a stylish tiled entrance lobby that opens into a spacious and inviting hallway, beautifully finished with attractive woodblock flooring. The hallway immediately sets the tone for the home, creating a warm and elegant first impression while seamlessly connecting the principal living spaces. The generously proportioned living room is flooded with natural daylight thanks to its impressive triple-aspect windows, creating a wonderfully bright and airy atmosphere. This elegant reception room provides an ideal setting for both everyday family living and entertaining guests, with a natural flow into the heart of the home.
The beautifully appointed kitchen has been carefully designed with both practicality and style in mind. Featuring an extensive range of work surfaces, a central island unit, quality integrated appliances, contemporary cabinetry, and tasteful downlighting, it offers a superb space for cooking, dining, and socialising. Convenient internal access to the garage further enhances its functionality. Beyond the kitchen lies an exceptionally spacious conservatory, which serves as an additional reception and dining area while framing delightful views across the garden. With direct access onto the patio and landscaped grounds, this light-filled space perfectly blurs the distinction between indoor and outdoor living.
The ground floor continues to impress with a well-proportioned double bedroom benefiting from its own modern ensuite shower room, making it ideal for guests, older family members, or multigenerational living. A further generous bedroom enjoys attractive views across the rear garden, while a beautifully presented tiled shower room completes the ground floor accommodation with contemporary fittings and a stylish finish.
A charming painted wooden staircase rises to the first floor, where a spacious galleried landing provides an attractive study area illuminated by a Velux roof window, creating an ideal space for home working or quiet reading. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, offering generous proportions, abundant natural light from its dual-aspect windows, and a striking full-height window that perfectly frames the picturesque outlook across the garden and surrounding landscape. Adjoining the bedroom is a dedicated dressing room, thoughtfully fitted with hanging rails, shelving, a radiator, and a Velux window, providing an excellent level of storage and convenience.
The remaining first-floor bedroom is equally impressive in scale, benefiting from dramatic full-length windows overlooking the rear garden alongside an additional front-facing window that fills the room with natural light throughout the day. Serving the first floor is a luxurious family bathroom, beautifully appointed with a freestanding roll-top bath that creates a striking focal point, complemented by a stylish washbasin set within a dresser-style vanity cabinet, a low-level WC, and a contemporary wall-mounted heated radiator, combining timeless elegance with modern comfort.
The outside space is every bit as impressive as the accommodation within. To the front, the property enjoys a well-maintained garden screened by mature hedging, with areas of lawn and established planting providing both privacy and attractive kerb appeal. The private driveway offers generous off-road parking and leads directly to the garage.
The expansive southeast-facing rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property's most exceptional features. Beautifully landscaped across a series of terraced levels, it offers an abundance of outdoor spaces to suit every occasion, from peaceful seating areas to generous entertaining terraces and an elevated barbecue area where stunning sea views can be enjoyed. Extensive lawns provide ample room for children to play, while mature shrubs, established hedging, colourful planting, an ornamental pond, and a dedicated play area all contribute to the garden's tranquil and picturesque character. Backing directly onto the open countryside of Telscombe Tye, the garden also offers exciting potential for the installation of private gated access, allowing immediate enjoyment of the surrounding countryside and scenic walking routes.
The garage itself is a highly versatile space, featuring windows, a personal access door, power, lighting, and plumbing for a washing machine. Whether retained for secure parking and storage or adapted as a workshop, home gym, studio, or additional workspace, it offers considerable flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles.
Perfectly positioned within comfortable walking distance of local shops, everyday amenities, and regular bus services providing easy access into Brighton, the property also enjoys close proximity to the South Downs National Park, the charming historic village of Rottingdean, and the renowned undercliff coastal path leading towards Brighton Marina. Saltdean Lido, the seafront, excellent local schools, and a number of highly regarded educational establishments are all conveniently nearby, making this a superb location for families.
