Summary - 20 Southdown Road BN20 9AA
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Private two-acre setting with pool and exceptional South Downs views for family living.
Five double bedrooms and two dressing rooms
Set within about two acres of gardens, grounds and woodland, this distinguished 1930s detached house enjoys protected views over Willingdon Golf Club and the South Downs. The sizable footprint (c.3,003 sq ft) delivers flexible living for a large or multi-generational family: five double bedrooms, two dressing rooms, formal reception rooms and a substantial kitchen/breakfast room. Two newly installed boilers, a backup generator and double glazing are practical benefits for year-round comfort.
Unique leisure facilities include an indoor swimming pool with dedicated changing area and adjacent plant room, plus extensive garaging — two integral garages and two extra-large brick-built detached garages with scope for conversion (subject to planning). There is lapsed permission for a flat above the right-hand garage and existing garage footings in the wood, offering further redevelopment potential for additional accommodation or ancillary income (STP).
Buyers should note this is a period home that has received additions over time and will benefit from updating in places; some elements such as cavity walls are assumed to lack modern insulation. The pool and large grounds carry ongoing maintenance and running costs, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Planning and building work would be required for any garage conversions or other structural changes.
This property will suit families seeking space, privacy and countryside views while being only a short drive from Eastbourne town centre, schools and rail links. It presents immediate lifestyle appeal combined with clear scope to personalise and add value over time.
