Description

This inviting detached bungalow is positioned on a raised corner plot, set back from the road and enveloped by mature gardens on three sides. The property offers captivating views across Westdene towards Brighton and the coastline, providing a serene setting for relaxation. With two bedrooms and a versatile loft room, there is significant potential for expansion or reconfiguration to create additional living space, subject to local planning permissions. The generous main bedroom features a bay window that frames the garden view beautifully, while the double-aspect lounge also takes advantage of the stunning scenery, flowing into a light-filled sunroom. Both kitchen and bathroom are situated at the back of the house and would benefit from modern updates to enhance functionality and aesthetics. Despite this, it’s important to note that the current owner has enjoyed living here comfortably for over four decades. Also included are valuable amenities such as a detached garage, extra parking alongside the home, and an upcoming new front porch installation scheduled for August (subject to confirmation). This property represents an excellent opportunity for those looking to invest in a home with character in a desirable location with scope for renovation or expansion.
