Description

Located in the historic Rottingdean Village, this distinctive two-bedroom semi-detached listed cottage offers an exciting opportunity for renovation and personalisation. Spread over three levels plus a practical cellar, the property provides a substantial amount of living space typical for its type. The ground floor features a charming lounge adorned with period details and abundant natural light, adjacent to a separate dining area that leads into the kitchen. This space overlooks the rear garden and contains stairs leading down to the cellar—a versatile area with decent head height and a WC, previously used as a utility room and storage. On the upper floors, two spacious double bedrooms maintain original characteristics while presenting the potential for layout reconfiguration to restore it to its original three-bedroom design. The bathroom is conveniently situated on the first floor but requires updating, offering an opportunity to implement your desired style. The cottage retains much of its character with exposed beams and traditional finishes throughout, establishing a blank canvas for further enhancements. With no onward chain, this property represents an exceptional investment opportunity in one of Rottingdean's most desirable locations, just a short walk from local shops, cafes, schools, and excellent transport links to Brighton city centre. The nearby seafront is also within a 10-minute walk. The exterior boasts both front and rear gardens that provide inviting outdoor spaces suitable for enjoyment throughout the year. The front garden is enclosed by flint walls with mature shrubbery leading up to the entrance. Meanwhile, the rear garden serves as a private retreat featuring established plants, lawn areas, and patio space. This unique cottage not only combines historical charm with outdoor appeal but also allows prospective buyers to craft their ideal home in this picturesque village setting.
