Seller Insight “When we first saw this property nearly nine years ago it was a classic seaside bungalow but it was still the wonderful views of the sea and the cliffs that sold it to us.

Now that we’ve converted it into a contemporary home we love the way that the light flows into its different areas. We designed the kitchen to be a big part of our family life and it’s lovely to be altogether while we’re cooking, dining or relaxing.

We love having people to stay and this is the perfect house for parties and family get-togethers. Sitting in the lounge looking out to sea is special and it’s lovely to sit in the second bedroom with a cup of coffee enjoying the views. It’s so peaceful here.” * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.

Sitting on a quiet road in the peaceful coastal village of Saltdean to the east of Brighton, this recently built home commands breath-taking uninterrupted sea views and has been created with superb attention to detail.

This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire an exceptional double-fronted home whose spacious layout optimises the flow of natural light with its vaulted entrance hall, bi-fold doors and south-facing balconies. Contemporary interior design blends seamlessly with an elegant colour scheme and the property’s seafront location means that the beach and coastline is visible throughout the house. No Onward Chain.

Refined feature patterned walls and contemporary design features have been incorporated within a versatile layout to provide a wonderful example of contemporary architecture at its very best.

Ground Floor A picture perfect view of the idyllic setting that this family home enjoys greets you from a double height entrance hall, instantly creating a warm and welcoming feel.

Adding a stunning backdrop to a generously proportioned space, the panoramic views from the wide bi-fold doors in the main reception room create an instant wow factor that’s hard to ignore. A wealth of natural light cascades into an expansive open plan living area and bounces off the high sheen tiles with their underfloor heating. Full height bi-fold doors stretch across the heart of this beautiful space open onto a wide south-facing terrace perfectly extending this incredibly sociable space still further.

The open plan arrangement easily accommodates both seating and formal dining areas and flows into an immaculate Alno kitchen well-appointed with Siemens appliances. A wide kitchen island creates an eyecatching focal point beneath a Caple ceiling extractor, its glass countertop housing a wide Barazza hob and a convenient pop-up charger, while its soft mauve hue complements the room’s feature walls. Fully fitted with sleek glass fronted cabinets, a generous breakfast bar provides additional seating.

Offering views of the nearby South Downs and continuing the rich feature colour scheme, a wealth of matt cabinets wraparound this beautifully lit space combining with Silestone countertops to offer ample storage and work space.

The sense of light and space continues in a stylish double bedroom suite which opens once again onto the south-facing decked terrace. Effortlessly delineating this cleverly designed space, a recessed sliding door opens from the bedroom area onto a sitting room that offers plenty of versatility for overnight guests. Arranged in a sleek tile setting the en suite wet-room features a contemporary walk-in shower and countertop basin.

Looking out over the landscaped front garden and up to the South Downs from its dual aspect windows, a well-proportioned office/study creates the perfect work from home space fully fitted with solid wood desktops and matt white cabinets.

A convenient utility room and separate WC complete the impressive ground floor, while the welcoming hallway offers access to the integral garage on the lower ground floor.

First Floor A tasteful central staircase with its wrought iron balustrades leads up to the galleried hallway whose feeling of height benefits from the entrance hall’s vaulted ceiling.

Designed for you to soak up the panoramic sea views from the comfort of your own bed, the spacious master suite stretches out across the full depth of this contemporary family home offering a wealth of walk-in wardrobe space. Bi-fold doors open onto a wide south-facing balcony providing an idyllic spot to relax and watch the sun set over the horizon, while a tactile patterned wall adds a sultry splash of colour. Adding a spa-like finishing touch, a luxurious en suite bathroom features a magnificent freestanding roll-top bath and a large walk-in shower.

Echoing the enviable sea views, the adjacent double bedroom offers further access to the modern balcony from its own bi-fold doors. Crisp white walls maximise the impressive flow of natural light, while a recessed walk-in wardrobe provides ample discreet storage without encroaching on the aesthetics of the room.

Equally well-presented, an additional double bedroom enjoys views of the distant South Downs and creates plenty of dual space potential as a guest or gym room.

Soft grey floral patterns and rich wood detailing balance with slate grey tiles in the family bathroom. A full size bath and alcove shelving nestle beneath a large Velux window, while a Roca basin and walk-in shower add to the sense of comfort and style that flows throughout this Saltdean home.

Step outside Kittiwake

Wide wood framed bi-fold doors open onto an impressive millboard decked terrace where expansive views stretch across the Indian sandstone garden and onto the sea, instantly engendering a superb feeling of calm and relaxation. Creating a wonderful extension of the main reception room and the downstairs bedroom suite, the terrace is an ideal spot for entertaining, outdoor meals or simply to soak up the sun. Offering plenty of room for an outdoor swimming pool, this enviable landscaped garden offers uninterrupted views of coastline with its distinctive white cliffs.

Vibrant beds of lavender and sedum border the sweeping driveways at the front of this seafront property creating an elegant contrast to its distinguished façade. Living roofs add to the coastal feel, and an integral double garage offers further off-road parking along with an abundance of storage space.

Providing easy access to the integral garage a discreet wicket door sits within the electric solid wood door. A deep alcove houses the water softener and Gira touch lighting system with room to spare for a freezer, while an additional large alcove benefits from plenty of room for shelving without impacting on the parking space.
