Description

This distinctive residence in Upper Ratton presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Set on an expansive double plot, the property boasts wrap-around gardens that provide significant outdoor space, surpassing that of neighboring properties. This will be the first time the home has been offered since its construction, allowing potential buyers to explore modernization or even redevelopment opportunities (subject to planning permissions). The elevated position enhances both privacy and accessibility via a long driveway, leading to ample parking and a garage. Inside, the home features a notably spacious 31ft triple-aspect living room that seamlessly connects with the gardens, alongside a separate dining room that opens into a conservatory – ideal for leisurely entertaining or family events. The ground floor layout also includes versatile spaces such as a study and a well-sized kitchen ripe for enhancement. The upper level accommodates three bedrooms arranged around a large landing, with the main rooms offering pleasant elevated views over Eastbourne and served by a generous family bathroom. While the property is in need of modernisation, it represents an exceptional blank canvas for those looking to create their dream home or capitalize on its development potential. The substantial gardens ensure excellent privacy and versatility for various landscaping ideas. A rare find in this prestigious area, this chain-free home offers remarkable possibilities for improvement and expansion.
