Further Information

PRICE REDUCED!

Extended & thoughtfully improved link-detached 1930’s bungalow with garage. With passive solar conservatory, solar water system, super-insulated (floor, walls & roof) with triple-glazed external windows. Floor to ceiling wood-clad bathroom. Wood-burner. Cork flooring predominant throughout. Low maintenance landscaped gardens with vegetable plot & massive greenhouse.

I have undertaken improvements, over the years, to show how you are able to bring an older property up to the 21st century with regards to low-maintenance & environmentally aware low-impact living. The wood-floored south-facing passive solar conservatory is partly underground & built into the front garden. (It encroaches over the building line of the street & took over 2 years & planning appeals to obtain permission for – on environmental grounds – & costing around £20k.) The living room is cocooned by the rest of the property (from having no external walls). The bathroom has been greatly insulated, ceiling lowered, completely wood-clad & incorporates a humidity-extractor fan. The master bedroom has built-in wardrobes maximising space. All north-facing & sole external windows are triple-glazed. The dining room has the potential to be partitioned & may then be converted to a 3rd bedroom. There is still room for various improvements (of which I have ideas for & am prepared to share) & potential expansion upwards (loft) & sideways (garage). The kitchen is small, compact & well designed (with deceptive amounts of storage space) – though units need updating to purchasers taste.

The Property is situated at the rear of Saltdean, that is enjoying a massive renaissance with many & described as ‘the new sophisticated suburbs’ with a famous beautiful seafront 1930’s art-deco lido (outdoor swimming pool) & other associated architecture. A pleasant & quiet suburban area with a sense of space & cleanliness & community - with good shops, a large oval park, schools & services. Around 1 mile directly inland from the sea & only 5 miles from the vibrant & cosmopolitan city of Brighton. Bus stop closer than close (quiet as last but one stop before termination stop) - daytime buses into Brighton every 15 minutes. A pleasant Green in front of property – bright & uplifting. Very close to fields, countryside & beautiful walks (South Downs National Park & also Telscombe Tye – a unique swathe of natural downland with its own ecosystem).
