Description

Nestled in the desirable Tongdean area, just off Dyke Road Avenue, this expansive family residence offers a rare opportunity for refurbishment and personalisation. The property, set on a generous plot surrounded by mature greenery, features four to five spacious double bedrooms along with two inviting reception areas, making it ideal for family living. While well-maintained over the years, the interiors retain a classic character that presents an excellent canvas for modernisation and enhancement—fostering the potential to significantly increase its long-term value. Located only moments from the scenic South Downs National Park and a short drive from coastal amenities, this home strikes a balance between tranquility and convenience. The surrounding environment boasts fresh air and open space while maintaining strong transport links and proximity to highly regarded schools. Constructed in 1970 as part of a small enclave of detached homes, this mid-century property showcases an appealing flint-and-brick exterior with original features preserved throughout. Inside, you’ll find a welcoming hall illuminated by natural light and an open layout connecting the reception rooms to the garden. The spacious living room benefits from south-westerly facing glazing that opens directly onto the garden, allowing natural light to fill the room. Its impressive dimensions afford versatility in furniture arrangement—perfect for both relaxation and entertaining. Adjoining is a bright dining room enhanced by sliding patio doors that invite the outdoors in. The kitchen retains classic Formica cabinetry and dual ovens yet offers ample opportunity for reconfiguration into a contemporary culinary space suitable for modern lifestyles. The adaptable ground-floor study currently functions as an office but can easily transform into additional living spaces such as a fifth bedroom or gym. Moreover, the integrated garage provides exciting prospects for conversion into usable living accommodation or hobby space (subject to planning permissions), adding further utility. Outside, the extensive rear garden bathed in sunshine presents various options for landscaping or imaginative redesigns—ideal for those interested in gardening or outdoor entertainment. On the first floor, enjoy generous bedrooms including a principal suite complete with built-in storage and an en suite bathroom ripe for sympathetic updates. The remaining bedrooms are functional and could benefit from layout changes to suit individual preferences. With its incredible potential to create personalized living spaces, this property stands out as an investment opportunity not to be missed.
