Sussex Downs 2 minutes away and golf courses are 3 & 5 minutes away respectively. Only 10 minutes from Brighton City Centre.
Rottingdean is an historic village with a reputation for attracting famous artists, poets, professionals, business people etc and the village is totally self contained with traditional tea shops, restaurants, private and public houses, butchers and green grocers, supermarkets, gift shops etc as well as lots of community activities.
One of the previous occupants of Blenheim House use to be the personal Guide Leader to Queen Elizabeth & Princess Margaret pre-war at Windsor Estate so the property can indeed claim to have an indirect link to the Royal family.
When complete, Blenheim House will be a unique prestigious residence that occupies a prominent position within the historic quintessential English village of Rottingdean and it will become a fantastic dream home for a status family.
The property is also quite versatile because either of the 2 summerhouse designs could also be used to accommodate a granny or staff annex or indeed generate some rental income via holiday lets or similar subject to consent for change of use etc.
The property is about to come on to the open market for Offers In Excess of GBP1,400,000 in its current state or Offers In Excess of GBP2,200,000 when complete.
