Why you’ll like it:
Designed for a sophisticated lifestyle on the Sussex coast, many of the buildings are original and the new ones are unfailingly sympathetic to the history of the building and set in verdant, well-kept grounds. There’s a total of 17 lush acres to explore with the pool, sauna and gym which you have a key to so you can go any time, there’s also tennis courts, a driving range, allotments, bbq areas, wildflower meadows, and woodland walks as well as open green spaces to explore – and it’s all child and pet secure.
Remote controlled gates with a video entry system sweep open to impressive grounds with plentiful parking for visitors and the allocated garage which comes with the property is tucked away but close to this apartment building. Inside the secure entrance the communal area is clean and tidy and the door to this apartment, on the prime west side, is at the top of a short flight of stairs.
Inside, the hushed hallway is inviting with a large cupboard for coats and bags. Ahead, the living dining room and kitchen are in a horseshoe shape, so although beautifully connected, there is natural zoning into discreet areas, ideal if you share as you won’t feel on top of each other all the time.
Of dual aspect with glorious open views, the elegant living room is both stylish and private with plenty of space for entertaining. Tucked around the corner, friends and family can dine in relaxed seclusion with a bay window to frame leafy views and a door to the veranda for eating al fresco. Bright and cheerful, the kitchen is safe from the in/out flow behind a sociable breakfast bar and galley by name but not by nature there’s great use of space delivering ample storage and practical working surfaces. The electric hob, Zanussi oven and hood are integrated for you, the classic units also conceal plumbing for both a dishwasher and a washing machine, and there’s a choice of lighting for ambience.
With a door to the hallway, the kitchen is actually at the heart of the home, perfect for supermarket deliveries and morning coffee! Next door, the guest room is light and airy. With calm decoration and triple wardrobes it’s a restful retreat and opposite, a stylish bathroom is good to go and has a shower above the bath.
A private sanctuary, the peaceful principal bedroom is all about relaxing in a beautiful setting with a door leading out to a balcony with a glass balustrade so you can enjoy the view even from bed. Triple wardrobes are mirrored in parts to reflect the sunlight and the contemporary en-suite is a dream come true with a dual head shower, sleek vanity unit beneath the hand basin and a lit mirror above, a warming rail for towels and a toothbrush/shaving point.
Outside, the balcony is a west facing suntrap with a tinted, glass balustrade to shield you from the mid-summer sun whilst seated. There is space to enjoy lunch with friends and a light for supper parties. At the far end is a storeroom, to keep the inside of the apartment clutter free. With garden views, it’s a wonderful refuge surrounded by 17 lush acres where it’s easy to forget that you’re just 10-15 minutes from the city of Brighton & Hove.
Agent says:
“Live a champagne lifestyle in this stunning apartment on the edge of one of the few south coast villages directly on the sea! Surrounded by the South Downs National Park, Rottingdean attracts those seeking quiet nights within easy reach of Brighton, Lewes, London or Gatwick. Homes in this prime development close to the Kipling gardens, village pond and the picturesque High Street do not come on the market often.”
Owner’s secret:
“As well as the beautiful surroundings, we have enjoyed the freedom of privacy whilst within a stroll of Rottingdean’s friendly community and its famous beaches (about 20 mins). There are always local activities on offer – and friends love to come and stay and always say they feel like they’ve been on holiday! The apartment and grounds are ideal for entertaining friends and family, and everything you would need as a couple or small family– schools, restaurants, stations, sailing club, stables and cinema -are all within easy reach.”
