Detached house for sale in Longhill Road, Brighton BN2

Presenting a fantastic opportunity for personalisation, this detached four-bedroom is in a prime position facing south-west with fabulous, far-reaching views over the coastal Downs landscape and the sea beyond. The house requires modernisation throughout, so can be remodelled according to your wishes and requirements.

The internal proportions are very good and large windows provide masses of natural light, as well as framing fabulous sea and countryside views to the front. Off the living room at the front of the house is a balcony, whilst at the rear there is a sun room, both offering lovely relaxing spaces to sit and enjoy the sunshine.

The accommodation itself is arranged over two floors, with the living spaces on the raised ground floor. A porch opens to the entrance hall where there is a cloakroom with WC and a useful storage cupboard. The sitting and dining room are open plan, with sliding doors from the dining area to both the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units, and the sun room to the rear, which has its own glazed doors opening onto the rear garden. There is also a large utility room adjacent to the rear dining room space, to house the laundry and serve as a drying room, but also offers overflow space for storage.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms, three of which have built-in storage and two of which have sea views. The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom, while a second double room has a walk-in wardrobe with basin and vanity unit. There is also a family bathroom.

Outside

A tarmac driveway provides off-street parking and leads down to the integral garage under the house. The space presents further opportunity for development (subject to permissions), as the neighbouring house has done. There is a raised front garden alongside the drive with a path leading to the front porch. The rear garden is a good size and has plenty of scope to be made more of. It is mostly lawned with mature trees around the boundary and a summer house in good condition.
