Description

This distinguished detached home offers a unique opportunity for those looking to create a bespoke family residence in a private setting. Set within expansive 2 acres of landscaped gardens and woodland adjacent to the renowned Willingdon Golf Club, the property boasts stunning views across the South Downs and manicured greens. Built over 60 years ago, this estate has been cherished and maintained, yet presents considerable renovation potential with ample space for modern upgrades and extensions. The layout includes five generous bedrooms, two dressing rooms ripe for conversion, an en-suite to the master bedroom, and a family bathroom. The ground floor features a functional kitchen/breakfast room, multiple reception areas including a formal sitting room with classic design elements and an indoor swimming pool that could benefit from updating. There are also two large garages that could be transformed into separate living spaces or leisure areas (subject to planning permission), enhancing its investment value. Notably, there is lapsed planning permission for adding a flat above one of the garages. For golf enthusiasts, direct access to the golf course adds significant appeal. The surrounding area combines rural charm with convenient access to Eastbourne’s amenities, making it attractive for both families and investors alike. This property not only serves as a serene retreat but also as a canvas for your vision.
