Description

This distinctive Grade II Listed flint-fronted cottage offers a unique opportunity for renovation in the heart of Rottingdean’s historic High Street. Arranged over three levels with an additional cellar, the property showcases original character features while presenting a canvas for modernization. Notably, it is being offered with no onward chain, which simplifies the purchasing process. The accommodation is spacious and well-appointed, featuring three double bedrooms and two reception areas. As you enter, you'll find a lounge with charming parquet flooring and dual sash windows that allow ample natural light. The adjoining dining area includes a feature fireplace and leads to a kitchen that retains its traditional style but is in need of updating to realize its full potential. A practical boot room provides extra functionality and connects to a cellar that could serve various purposes—whether as additional storage or even an extension of living space after renovation. Each of the three bedrooms are generously sized, with one benefiting from an en-suite bathroom. While the existing bathrooms exhibit vintage charm, they provide an excellent opportunity for modernization that can significantly enhance the property’s value. The west-facing rear garden extends approximately 40 feet and is enclosed by flint walls, ensuring privacy while offering a peaceful retreat from urban life. Situated between the scenic South Downs and the coast, this cottage is surrounded by local amenities including traditional pubs, independent shops, tea rooms, and beauty salons—all contributing to the charm of village life. Moreover, central Brighton is just a short drive away, making it ideal for both leisure and commuting. With its abundant character and potential for reconfiguration or refurbishment, this property represents an inviting investment opportunity within a desirable location. Renovators will appreciate the chance to modernize while respecting the historical aspects of this unique cottage.
