BRIGHTON, England - Blenheim House is its name and remodeling work is scheduled to start in the very near future the end product will arguably be the most expensive house in the village.

Blenheim House is characterised by its large rooms with high ceilings and over-sized windows and doors.

Properties of this calibre in this area very seldom come on to the market because they tend to be handed down by generation.

The property currently has circa 4,200 sqft of living space and is blessed with various planning consents to extend it to create a 7,700 sqft residence of distinction that will consist of 2 master bedroom suites with balconies, sea, village, windmill, garden and countryside views. 3 large double bedrooms with sea or garden views, 1 study with private balcony, 5 bathrooms (one of which will have a private balcony) 3 reception rooms, 1 large conservatory, 2 x 31ft south facing sun rooms, large kitchen & breakfast room, utility room plus a 2,500sqft contemporary summer house complete with indoor pool, spa bath, games room, garden room, gym, studio, office, sauna, steam room wet area etc.

The property also has an in & out brick paved carriage driveway complete with large bespoke electric gates and off street parking for up to 6 cars.

The rear garden was professionally designed with a wealth of beautiful plants, trees, shrubs, a herb garden as well as a small orchard and a brick & flint gazebo plus a shed and a greenhouse to the rear.

The property currently has a range of expensive Amdega windows & doors, Smallbone kitchen & bedroom units, bespoke Amtico flooring throughout entrance porch, hallways and kitchen plus a bespoke Neville Johnson study with a private balcony.

The kitchen also has a duel gas and electric Aga cooker with 6 hobs and 4 ovens.

Flooring in the reception rooms is restored mahogany parquet with some new Penga parquet feature around the central fireplace area.

The fireplace consists of a contemporary see-through glass and chrome Bio Fuel Fire that is odourless and smokeless.

The 31ft south facing ground floor sun room has new marble flooring whilst the conservatory is tiled with underfloor heating.

Blenheim House is within close proximity to the beach and all amenities, shops, private schools and stables are literally at the end of the road.

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.
