4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Malines Avenue, Peacehaven BN10

Located on a quiet road, a stones’ throw from the coastal path, is this newly renovated four-bedroom family home. Immaculately presented and with a west-facing garden, it is a rare find.

The Property

This newly completed four-bedroom home has been transformed from the modest bungalow that once stood in its place. The current owners have reimagined the space entirely, creating a modern and welcoming family home designed with both style and practicality in mind.

At the front, a brick-paved driveway provides off-street parking, and the house blends in attractively with its neighbours thanks to a traditional brick frontage. But it’s once you step inside that the full extent of the transformation becomes clear.

The front door is tucked to the side of the property and opens into a bright hallway, naturally lit by a skylight above. From here, the eye is drawn through to the kitchen which is a sleek and inviting space fitted with white gloss cabinets, wooden worktops, and plenty of storage. There are integrated stacked ovens and a gas hob, plus space for a freestanding dishwasher and tall fridge/freezer. A breakfast bar provides practical space for quick mealtimes or keeping the cook company.

Part of the original garage has been cleverly converted into a utility room, complete with ample cupboard space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. A handy WC is also located here, and a bi-folding door gives access to the remaining garage space which is also accessible via the front of the house.

To one side of the kitchen is a spacious living room with a large picture window overlooking the street. It’s been finished in calming neutrals with a stylish wood-panelled feature wall behind the TV, and there’s an open fireplace - perfect for cosy evenings by the fire during the colder months.

To the rear of the ground floor is a versatile layout of rooms: A bedroom currently used as a children's playroom, the principal bedroom which overlooks the garden and features clever built-in storage tucked neatly beneath the stairs, and an additional reception room ideal as a dining area or second sitting room. From here, sliding doors open directly onto the garden. Also on this level is a contemporary family bathroom with large marble-effect tiles and a bath with a shower over.

The west-facing garden has been beautifully landscaped to create a low-maintenance yet stylish outdoor space. It features two patio areas, an artificial grass section, and mature planting in well-kept beds. Modern fencing offers privacy, and a generous shed provides useful storage. It’s a real sun trap, perfect for summer entertaining or unwinding at the end of the day.

Upstairs, the modern decor continues with two well-proportioned bedrooms and a second bathroom, also fitted with a bath and shower over.

The Area

Tucked away on the peaceful and residential Malines Avenue, this home enjoys a fantastic location just a short stroll from both the sea and the green open space of Howard Park, located right at the end of the road. It’s an ideal setting for families, dog walkers, and anyone who appreciates the balance of coastal living and community convenience.

Peacehaven itself is a charming coastal town situated just six miles east of Brighton, known for its calm atmosphere, wide skies, and expansive green spaces. Founded in 1916 by entrepreneur Charles Neville as a planned seaside retreat, Peacehaven was designed to offer residents a restful escape from the bustle of city life - a vision still felt in the town’s friendly, laid-back character.

Today, Peacehaven blends its original charm with all the essentials of modern living. Local amenities include the Meridian Centre, a focal point for shopping, leisure, and community events, while the iconic Meridian Monument, marking the Greenwich Meridian Line, adds a unique historical touch to the coastline.

For outdoor lovers, the town is perfectly placed. Not only is the South Downs National Park just to the north, offering endless walking and cycling routes, but the clifftop coastal path just minutes from Malines Avenue serves up panoramic views of the English Channel - a daily reminder of the town’s seaside appeal.
