Summary - 2 THE CLOSE EASTBOURNE BN22 0LJ
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Secluded four-bedroom home with large gardens and detached double garage.
Gated entry and long sweeping gravel driveway
An imposing, generously proportioned detached home set well back from Huggetts Lane behind gated access and a long sweeping gravel driveway. The ground floor centres on a spacious reception hall, a triple-aspect sitting room with a double-sided log burner and a contemporary open-plan kitchen/dining area with granite worktops and integrated appliances — ideal for family life and entertaining. A useful ground-floor study (or fifth bedroom), cloakroom and large utility room add practical flexibility.
Upstairs provides four large double bedrooms, including a principal suite with freestanding bath, walk-in shower and dual sinks, plus a modern family bathroom. The property sits in extensive secluded gardens with mature planting and patio areas, and benefits from a detached double garage with power. Practical improvements already carried out include double glazing and a new roof installed in 2020.
Notable considerations: the house dates from the 1930s and shows the fabric and layout of its period; cavity walls are uninsulated (assumed) so further insulation work could be beneficial. There is scope for further development of the plot subject to the necessary planning consents. Council tax sits at a high band, and potential buyers should factor running costs into their decisions.
This is a strong choice for families seeking a roomy, private home in a very affluent Willingdon location with good local schools, generous outdoor space and immediate practical conveniences. Buyers looking for turnkey modern efficiency should allow budget for targeted upgrades, while those seeking character and scope will find substantial potential here.
