Set on an enviable 0.35-acre plot in quiet Firle Close, this substantial five-bedroom detached house suits growing families seeking space and character. The property’s standout feature is a secluded rear garden in excess of 135ft, offering safe play space, mature fruit trees, vegetable plots and room for garden projects or an extension (subject to planning).
Internally the house provides generous proportions across 2,111 sq ft: a dual-aspect lounge with gas fire, four reception rooms including a dining room and study, a refitted kitchen/breakfast room, utility and ground-floor shower room. Five first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom give comfortable family accommodation with scope to reconfigure or modernise to taste.
Practical advantages include a single-car garage with adjoining workshop, ample off-street parking on a large driveway, double glazing added in the 2000s and mains gas central heating. The location is strong — about half a mile from Seaford town centre, good schools nearby and easy access to the South Downs, seafront and local golf club.
Buyers should note the house was built in the 1960s and, while well-proportioned, requires some upkeep and updating in places. Broadband speeds are slow in the area and council tax is high (Band F), factors to weigh alongside the property’s substantial plot and extension potential.
