Piddinghoe, Newhaven, BN9 9AN

Saltings is a substantial detached 1960s house in Piddinghoe, with four bedrooms, generous accommodation and a riverside position overlooking the River Ouse and surrounding downland. The same family has owned it since it was built, and the property now offers scope for modernisation and changes to the layout. A central lobby and dining area connects the main ground-floor rooms. One wing includes a bedroom, a large living room with doors to the garden, an office or sun room and a utility room. The existing kitchen has a larder, river views and a door to the garden, while a separate WC and a wet room are also on this floor. The listing notes potential to combine parts of the ground-floor accommodation into an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, subject to the necessary consents. Upstairs are three further bedrooms, two bathrooms and storage. The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes, an en-suite and an enclosed balcony facing the river. A particularly large garage is accessed through roller doors and may suit vehicle, boat or workshop use. Outside, the wrap-around garden adjoins the river, with parking at the front. Piddinghoe is a village setting within reach of Newhaven, Lewes and Brighton. The surrounding countryside and river offer opportunities for walking and water-based activities. The property is presented as a project rather than a turn-key home, with its existing accommodation and riverside setting forming the basis for a programme of modernisation and possible reconfiguration.
