4 bed detached house for sale

Wanderdown Close, Ovingdean BN2

The house makes a strong first impression, with its blue-clad frontage, front lawn and paved driveway. A smart black front door sits beside the wood store, opening into a bright hallway where a large window gives you the first glimpse of the rolling hills beyond. To the right is the first of three bedrooms, neutrally decorated and sharing the same far-reaching outlook.

The upside-down layout makes good use of the setting, keeping the main living spaces higher up to enjoy the views, while the remaining bedrooms sit quietly on the lower ground floor with direct access to the garden.

A couple of steps from the entrance lead down into the main living level. At the front, the kitchen is finished with contemporary beige cabinetry and a central island incorporating the sink and breakfast bar, with integrated appliances including a drinks fridge. There is plenty of room for a dining table too, making this somewhere that works just as well for a quick breakfast as it does having friends over for dinner. A separate utility room sits just off the kitchen, with a door outside and a hot water tap – particularly useful for muddy boots and dogs after a walk.

At the back, the open-plan living and dining room makes the most of the outlook. Large windows draw your eye towards the hills, while a log burner gives the room a cosy focal point through the colder months. In summer, doors open onto the balcony overlooking the garden, creating another place to sit, eat or simply enjoy the view.

Downstairs are two further bedrooms, both with generous built-in wardrobes and double doors opening directly onto the patio garden. There is also a modern shower room with a large rainfall shower and motion-sensor lighting.

Tucked onto the split level between the two floors is a dedicated study area. It is nicely removed from the main living spaces without feeling completely separate from the rest of the house, making it particularly well suited to working from home.
