Tongdean Lane, Withdean, Brighton BN1

An Impressive and Stylishly Modernised Detached Family Home with Exceptional Living Space, Large Garden, and Luxurious Finishes Throughout

Occupying a generous plot in one of Brighton’s most desirable locations, this beautifully presented and recently modernised four-bedroom, three-bathroom detached residence spans an impressive 2,831 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space, arranged over three spacious floors. With charming part-timbered and rendered elevations, a deep private driveway behind secure electric gates, and a stunning landscaped rear garden, this home offers a rare blend of character, comfort, and contemporary living.

Ground Floor Living – Designed for Family Life and Entertaining
Step through the front door into a welcoming entrance hall that sets the tone for the rest of the home — bright, airy, and wonderfully proportioned.

To the front of the house, the elegant 22ft formal reception room, currently arranged as a dining room, features a square bay window, exposed ceiling beams with integrated Sonos speakers, and a striking feature fireplace flanked by twin side windows. This space flows seamlessly into the 21ft sitting room, a true heart of the home, with engineered oak flooring, dual-aspect windows, and full-height bi-folding doors opening directly onto the garden — ideal for relaxed family living.

The showpiece of the ground floor is undoubtedly the 28ft kitchen/breakfast/family room, a beautifully crafted space with solid wood worktops, high-gloss cabinetry, premium integrated appliances, and a sociable breakfast bar. Double sets of bi-folding doors draw in natural light and blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living. There’s ample space for a formal dining table or casual seating area, making it perfect for both entertaining and everyday life.

A separate utility room with garden access, a stylish guest W.C., and a fully converted garage — now used as a children’s games room with underfloor heating — complete the versatile ground floor layout.

First & Second Floors – Luxurious Bedrooms and Flexible Space

Upstairs, the principal suite enjoys a bright dual-aspect outlook, a full wall of bespoke fitted wardrobes, and far-reaching views across the South Downs and towards the sea. The luxurious family bathroom features a freestanding bath, large walk-in shower, and high-end fittings.

Two further generous double bedrooms on this floor share a stylish Jack & Jill shower room, offering a perfect layout for children or guests.

The top floor is home to a truly impressive fourth bedroom, with ample space for a bed, lounge area or study zone. Double doors open into a walk-in dressing room, which in turn leads to a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room — creating a perfect retreat for teenagers, guests, or live-in help.

Outside – A Garden Sanctuary with Versatile Outbuildings

The landscaped rear garden is a particular highlight — a tranquil and private space, perfect for both family fun and al fresco entertaining. A large paved terrace sits directly behind the house, ideal for summer dining, complete with a sunken hot tub for year-round relaxation. Steps lead down to a beautifully kept lawn bordered by mature shrubs and planting, creating a sense of seclusion and calm.

At the rear of the garden, two high-spec insulated outbuildings offer exceptional flexibility. One is fully equipped as a home gym, complete with mirrored wall, integrated TV, and bi-fold doors. The second serves as a home office or studio, also enjoying underfloor heating and garden views — ideal for remote work or creative pursuits.

To the Front

The house sits well back from the road, behind secure electric gates, with a deep private driveway offering parking for several vehicles. There’s also a lawned front garden and mature planting that enhances the home’s kerb appeal.
