Elegant 1930s detached house in one of Seaford’s premier roads, with superb southerly views over neighbouring golf links.

Description

21 Chyngton Road is an impressive and attractive 1930s house, with part painted brick, part tile-hung elevations under a tiled roof. Whilst offering generous proportions and elegant period features, the property is also a warm and comfortable family home offering versatile accommodation which is light, bright and spacious, extending to nearly 3,000 square feet.

The house is entered via an octagonal entrance porch with clay tiled floor, which opens to the entrance hall lying central to the ground floor accommodation. The hall is a large and welcoming space, featuring a brick fireplace with an inset woodburner and ample space for seating. There are three formal reception rooms: the sitting room and dining room are connected by way of folding wooden doors, both dual aspect with huge bay windows framing the southerly views over the garden to the golf links, and with original open fireplaces. The third reception room is a large and versatile room, currently used as a study, also featuring an elegant open fireplace and a bay window overlooking the garden.

Approached from the driveway, and providing a day to day entrance to the house, the boot room has a sink and drainer and space for a washing machine, together with a cloakroom with WC. The boot room adjoins the kitchen which is fitted with a good range of oak units, a three-oven Aga and additional Zanussi electric ovens, and has ample space for a large breakfast table. There is understair access to the well-presented and useable cellar which comprises two rooms: one housing a chest freezer and one used as a pantry.

There are five well-proportioned bedrooms lying off a spacious split-level galleried first floor landing, four with fitted or built-in storage, served by a family bathroom with suite including a bath and separate shower cubicle, and two separate WCs. The principal bedroom suite has a wide bay window with some wonderful southerly views, and benefits from an en suite bathroom.

The floor plan gives a comprehensive overview of the full extent and layout of the accommodation.

Outside
21 Chyngton Road occupies a corner plot, bounded to two sides by attractive knapped flint walls. There is gated entrance from Arundel Road opening to a paved driveway and double garage with electronically operated up and over door and workshop to the rear; a further pedestrian gate opens to a brick pathway leading to the front door.

The garden is a delightful feature; lying predominantly to the south and west of the house, comprising beautifully tended lawns, edged by well-stocked flower and shrub borders, and with a timber summerhouse. A wide paved terrace with space for a table and chairs extends across the southern side of the house, from which the lovely vista over the golf links can be best enjoyed.
