A much-loved seaside home in a wonderful Eastbourne location, with the beach and village quite literally on your doorstep.
Enter through the front gate and into the home, where there's a handy spot for coats and bags before stepping inside.
A spacious living room with lovely character features, carpet, curtains and a wood burner. The skylight brings in extra natural light, while the French doors open out to the front patio. The established trees and picket fence give privacy.
The second living area is a versatile space between the kitchen and main living room, with French doors opening out to the back deck. It works well as an extra lounge or dining space, keeping everyone connected while still offering a little separation. Carpet and a handy storage cupboard add to the practicality.
1. The master bedroom is a lovely light-filled space, with character windows that catch the afternoon sun. There's plenty of room, a full wall of wardrobes and carpet underfoot, with blinds for privacy. Jack-and-Jill access through to the bathroom effectively gives the bedroom its own ensuite.
2. The second bedroom is a single room, ideal for children or guests, with carpet, blinds and windows bringing in natural light.
3. Set in the garden, the spacious cedar studio adds so much versatility to the property. With its own WC, sink and built-in bench, along with a heat pump, carpet and blinds, it's a great space for guests, working from home or having a little extra room away from the main house.
1. The near new bathroom has a fresh, modern feel, with a walk-in tiled shower, vanity with good storage and an additional storage cabinet. There's also a heated towel rail, tiled flooring and a skylight. Jack-and-Jill access connects the bathroom to both the kitchen and master bedroom.

Positioned at the front of the home, the study offers a little separation from the main living areas, making it a handy spot to work from home. Alternatively, it could be used as an entrance space with extra storage, depending on what best suits your needs.
The backyard is flat, sunny and private, with decking, paved areas and established trees creating a lovely setting to enjoy. Fully fenced and easy to care for, there's room to potter in the garden or make the most of the sunshine. At the front of the home, the patio is a great spot for a morning cuppa.
And then there's everything just beyond the gate. The promenade and beach are only a few steps away, with bush walks and parks close by too. Eastbourne offers such a wonderful balance of coastal and village living, whether it's a morning swim, a walk along the waterfront, heading out on the tracks or popping into the village for a coffee. With public transport nearby and the village within easy reach, it's a lifestyle that's easy to enjoy.
The fully fenced property has a generous driveway, providing plenty of off-street parking if desired. There's also plenty of street parking available outside the home, making parking easy for family and visitors.

Valley are also attended by local students. School zones and enrolment criteria can change, so please make
