Scented by cherry blossom, this elegant four bedroom chalet soars above the Preston Valley so has glorious open views and the sun all day. With Cherry Woods at the end of this little known cul de sac all you can hear is birdsong even though it is just 10 minutes from central Brighton. Inside offers elegant entertaining and comfortable family rooms which include a playroom/study on the ground floor which opens to the garden. All of the bedrooms are generous and the peaceful principle suite has a connected dressing room so large it would be ideal as a nursery! With gated parking and a garage it is just 4 minutes from one of the best primary schools in the county and close to a nature reserve and parks, it offers a healthy lifestyle between the beach and South Downs National Park. Withdean is exclusive, known as Brighton’s Hollywood Hills with swift access to the Amex Stadium, airports and London’s West End, whilst the international city centre and Preston Park Station serving Gatwick and London are easy to reach. Style: Detached chalet Bedrooms: 3/4 double Bathrooms: 2 Living rooms: 2/3 spacious Area: Outside: Large garden Parking: Garage Location: Withdean Why you’ll like it: Picture perfect and sunny of colour as well as orientation ‘Cherry Trees’ is a pretty chalet with leaded but energy efficient windows. A smart path steps up past the gated hard standing and garage. Inside it is a Tardis, and even the hallway has a thoughtful finish with a skylight above your head as you walk in making it exceptionally inviting, and this home’s flowing design offers flexible room use. The reception and playroom/study: With big bays to bring in spectacular views across the leafy valley, a hushed living room spans an elegant 25’9’’ x 13’9” with refined decoration. Light and airy during summer, this room transforms into a welcoming refuge to return to in winter months as the stylish gas fire brings warmth as well as character to the space. At the far end, discreet double doors lead to the playroom with French doors to the garden, currently used as a quiet reading room, but it could be an ideal home office if you were thinking of working from home as clients could come and go through the side gate. The kitchen and dining rooms: Also at the back of the property with its own access to the garden for seamless al fresco entertaining, the sociable kitchen has a peninsular island inviting company and has family friendly units topped by lustrous marble. Ready to party with a choice of lighting levels including led’s within the plinths, the Bosch 5 ring gas hob, oven and grill are integrated for you as are the fridge, freezer, washing machine and drier – so you are all sorted for appliances. For formal dining, there is an easy flow to a glamorous dining room at the front of the chalet where guests can enjoy unique panoramic views which change with the seasons. The guest bedroom and shower room: Looking over the fabulous, Italianate style gardens, the guest bedroom is ideal for visitors of any age on the ground floor and across the hall, a chic shower room has a rather fabulous Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen hand basin. The garden: Beautifully landscaped to create different ‘rooms’ to explore and tiered to catch the sun, the first broad terrace by the house is divided into a large, lit dining area by the kitchen and a private seating area to one side by the study. Child and pet secure with fencing, the second tier has a lawn scented by apples for play and at the far end, a secluded terrace has a summer house with power and space for enjoying the last of the sun’s rays after the children have retired. The first floor family bedroom and bathroom: Mounting a staircase beneath the sky, you will feel like a VIP in a red carpeted bedroom which spans the full depth of the upper floor with verdant views from the front and back, fitted wardrobes in place and generous under eave storage. Central to this floor, the luxury bathroom is a classic black and white with a glamorous Art Deco influence and high end fittings which include a designer hand basin, and shower above the bath. The master bedroom: Spread your wings in this soothing bedroom, lined with windows to bring in restful, open views – which also make it completely private. Stretching from front to back, there is plenty of floor space to play with even with a large bed in it, and the attention to detail found throughout this property continues here with the thoughtful touch of an extra dimmer switch where you need it – by the bed. A wall of wardrobes provide all the sophisticated storage you could dream of, and central doors within it open to reveal a sumptuous dressing room with natural light and more than enough room for a cot, should the need for night feeding arise.
