Description

Riverdale House is a substantial Victorian residence with remarkable views over the picturesque Cuckmere Valley, offering excellent potential for renovation and investment. Originally constructed as one of a pair by a single family, this property has historically served as an upscale guest house, but it presents a unique opportunity to convert it into a generous family home, subject to necessary approvals. The expansive grounds include a paddock that could accommodate horses and a versatile outbuilding suitable for various uses. The property's elevated position within the South Downs National Park provides breathtaking vistas and immediate access to charming Alfriston village amenities, while being close to major transport links for London and coastal towns. The interior boasts spacious reception areas such as the impressive sitting room with period features, multiple en suite bedrooms, and a large kitchen/family dining area that could be modernized to enhance functionality. While the property is well-presented, there are opportunities for improvements in decor and systems (such as heating and plumbing) that could significantly increase its value. With its historical charm and expansive space, Riverdale House allows for creative renovation choices, making it an appealing project for buyers looking to leave their mark on a character property.
