Casa Brighton

A three bedroom semi-detached chalet bungalow, offered to the market with no onward chain and occupying an elevated position with far-reaching views towards the South Downs. Well kept throughout, the property provides over 1,000sq ft of internal accommodation and offers excellent scope for a future purchaser to modernise, reconfigure or further enhance the existing space (STNC).

The ground floor is centred around a spacious living room, with a large front-facing window drawing in plenty of natural light whilst framing the attractive countryside outlook. The room provides ample space for a variety of seating arrangements and offers excellent potential to create a stylish principal reception room.

Positioned separately is the bright dual-aspect kitchen / breakfast room, benefiting from windows to two elevations and providing a practical arrangement of cabinetry, countertop space and room for informal dining. The existing layout also presents scope for contemporary updating or possible reconfiguration depending on a purchaser’s requirements.

Upstairs, the accommodation comprises three bedrooms, including two particularly generous doubles alongside a versatile third bedroom that would work equally well as a child’s room, guest bedroom or home office. The first floor is completed by a family bathroom and separate W/C, while a number of useful built-in cupboards provide valuable storage.

Outside, the thoughtfully manicured west-facing rear garden is a particular highlight, providing an attractive setting in which to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. To the front, a raised terrace takes full advantage of the property’s elevated position and provides a wonderful spot from which to appreciate the far-reaching views across towards the South Downs.

Further benefits include off-road parking and a garage, together with a substantial area of storage beneath the rear portion of the property. This under-house space offers intriguing potential to be incorporated into the main accommodation in the future, subject to the necessary structural investigations and consents.

With its generous proportions, impressive outlook, attractive west-facing garden and considerable potential to adapt or modernise, this is a highly versatile home ideally suited to purchasers looking to create a long-term property tailored to their own requirements.
