Set on a peaceful Withdean road close to the South Downs, this detached four-bedroom family home sits on a large plot with a sunny, south-facing rear garden and a substantial garden office. The house offers spacious, well-proportioned rooms across two storeys, including two reception rooms and a year-round conservatory that opens into the lawn and landscaped beds. Generous parking is provided on the forecourt for three cars plus an integral garage.
The property is well presented but offers clear scope to add value through reconfiguration or renovation — common routes include reworking the ground-floor layout for open-plan living, converting the garage into additional living or ground-floor bedroom space, or creating a fourth bedroom/loft conversion. The garden office is a useful ancillary space with its own kitchenette and heating, suitable for home working, gym or guest use.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, low local crime and easy access to major routes (A23/A27) and Preston Park Station. The location is family-friendly with several highly regarded primary and secondary schools nearby and easy links into the city. Buyers should note the home's era of construction (late 1960s–1970s) and assumed cavity wall construction without installed insulation, so improvement works (insulation, potential modernisation) are likely if pursuing energy upgrades.
Overall, this is a comfortable, characterful family home in an affluent, well-connected suburb that will suit buyers wanting immediate liveability with the option to enhance and increase value over time.
