A rare detached family home tucked in Meadow Close, close to Rottingdean High Street and local beaches. The house is neutrally presented and offers flexible living: a bright lounge flowing into a second reception room (which could be used as a ground-floor bedroom), a conservatory with garden views, and an additional ground-floor double bedroom. Upstairs are two further light-filled bedrooms and an en-suite shower room.
Practical features include a detached garage, driveway, useful workroom/office, large sunny garden with a fishpond, and owned solar photovoltaic panels. The seller advises the PV system currently produces tax-free income that covers council tax and provides up to circa 15 kWh daily of free electricity. The home also benefits from cavity wall and loft insulation and mains gas boiler heating.
Set in a well-regarded, very affluent area with good local shops, cafes and transport links to Brighton (about 20 minutes by bus), the property suits families seeking village atmosphere with city access. There are several strong local schools nearby; one local secondary is rated ‘Requires improvement’, so buyers with older children should check catchment specifics.
Buyers should note the house dates from the 1950s–1960s, with double glazing of unknown install date, so some energy or maintenance updates may be required long-term. The conservatory, pond and garden will need regular upkeep. The property is freehold, has no flood risk, and sits in a low-crime, well-connected neighbourhood.
