Description
A detached four-bedroom house in an elevated coastal position, with sea views and more than 2,000 sq ft of accommodation. The property is offered with no onward chain and provides scope for modernisation and possible reconfiguration or enlargement, subject to the necessary consents.
The ground floor includes a dual-aspect living room with sliding doors to the rear garden, a separate dining room, a substantial kitchen, a WC and an integral garage. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including one with an en-suite, together with a family bathroom and spacious landing.
The house occupies a generous plot with a south-facing rear garden, off-road parking to the front and rear, an integral garage and a detached single garage. Roedean Road is close to the seafront, Brighton Marina, East Brighton Park and local schools, with bus links towards central Brighton and access to the A27. The existing accommodation and plot offer options to explore, with any building work subject to consents and feasibility.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a substantial mock-Tudor detached house with generous living spaces, a large south-facing plot, parking and garages, and an elevated coastal outlook. The visible interiors are stripped back, with unfinished walls and ceilings and worn flooring; the kitchen and bathroom areas also need substantial completion. That gives a buyer scope to reshape and finish a sizeable family home, while the overgrown garden and approach offer room for a significant outdoor improvement. The roof covering looks aged and should be inspected, though the photos do not show definite failure.
The price is the main constraint: at £493/sq ft, the £1,000,000 asking price is above the local £472/sq ft average, rather than a discount. Adding the £75,000–£145,000 refurbishment range leaves the purchase-plus-works cost stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area; that comparison is not a forecast of the finished home’s value.
Key opportunities
- Rework the generous connected living spaces and substantial kitchen into a layout that better suits modern family life, subject to feasibility and consents.
- Create a finished interior throughout, including completing the stripped-back kitchen and bathroom areas and renewing worn floors and unfinished surfaces.
- Make the most of the substantial south-facing plot, coastal outlook, parking and garage provision with garden and approach improvements.
Key risks
- Unfinished surfaces and worn flooring across several rooms, together with the stripped-back kitchen and incomplete bathroom finishes, make the £75,000–£145,000 works range a full-gut scale programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- The £1,000,000 asking price plus the refurbishment range leaves purchase-and-works costs stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area, before fees or other purchase costs.
- The roof covering appears aged and mossy in places; its condition needs inspection, although no definite failure is visible in the photos.
- Budget around £1,110,000 including the asking price and quoted works of about £110,000 — roughly 14% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition, so margin after refurbishment is unproven.
