Description

This semi-detached four-bedroom chalet bungalow offers a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. Nestled in the desirable area of East Saltdean, the home features stunning views of Telscombe Tye and the sea, making it an appealing choice for both families and investors alike. The property is strategically located within walking distance of local amenities such as shops, Saltdean Oval Park, and the seafront. It also benefits from easy access to public transport routes into Brighton city centre and beautiful countryside walks on the South Downs, enhancing its appeal as a location. Having been well-maintained by the current owner for 26 years, this bungalow presents itself in good condition while still offering ample scope for modernization or expansion, subject to necessary approvals. The integral garage provides potential for conversion into additional living space, while the front garden could be transformed to create off-road parking for multiple vehicles. Gated side access leads you to an entrance porch that connects to the rear garden, which features established trees and shrubs. Inside, the ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall that links directly to the garage housing essential utilities. It also includes a fully-tiled shower room with a walk-in shower and separate WC alongside two double bedrooms—one boasting large windows that frame those exquisite countryside and sea vistas. The kitchen benefits from dual aspects that illuminate the space, featuring wooden cabinets and essential appliances, with an exciting possibility to open up the layout by connecting it with an adjacent bedroom for a contemporary kitchen-diner design. The south-easterly-facing living-dining room presents itself as a cozy gathering spot replete with a fireplace that could accommodate a log burner. This room leads into a conservatory overlooking a raised decked terrace set above the rear garden—perfect for outdoor relaxation or entertaining. On the first floor are two additional double bedrooms; the master suite includes fitted wardrobes and eaves storage with potential for an en-suite bathroom addition (subject to consent). Once again, this room captures remarkable panoramic views of Telscombe Tye and the sea—a substantial selling point for future residents. With its blend of existing charm and investment potential, this property merits consideration from anyone seeking to put their mark on a family home or rental investment in East Saltdean. Viewings are encouraged for those interested in exploring what this bungalow has to offer.
