The Vale, Ovingdean BN2

Tucked away on a private road in Ovingdean, this unique collection of six eco-conscious homes combines elegant art-deco design with modern comfort. Just three stunning homes still available.

The Property

Located on the site of the ‘Old Paddock’ on a private residents road, this development of eco-conscious homes seamlessly blends modern living with stunning art-deco design. Every effort has been made to integrate these properties into the historic lane, and the outcome is six beautifully crafted semi-detached homes that reflect the timeless 1930s style while offering a modern touch.

Constructed by a highly respected local builder, each home showcases exceptional craftsmanship, including solid oak staircases and exquisitely crafted internal oak doors. Beautifully detailed architraves and 1930s-style brass door handles add character to these stunning homes, while the neutral decor provides the perfect canvas for new owners to make them their own.

Internally, all homes are almost identical and comprise three spacious double bedrooms, two immaculate bathrooms, a modern kitchen/dining room, and a separate living room. There’s ample storage space - with a spacious understair cupboard and boarded eaves. The principal bedroom comes with a bespoke fitted dressing room with drawers and a hanging space. These homes have been thoughtfully designed for accessibility, featuring wide door frames and a ground-floor bedroom with a Jack and Jill shower room, making them fully wheelchair-friendly and suitable for lifelong living.

The kitchen/dining room truly presents as the heart of the home and a stunning Howdens kitchen has been seamlessly fitted with state-of-the-art integrated appliances making it a dream for culinary enthusiasts. A dedicated dining area overlooks the rear garden, with double doors that connect seamlessly to both the outdoor space and the living room—creating a wonderful flow for entertaining.

Engineered oak flooring flows throughout the properties and underfloor heating on the ground floor adds to the high specification and provides an efficient heating solution for year-round comfort. Beautiful heritage aluminium double-glazed windows add to the efficiency and style of these homes.

Each home features a single garage, complete with internal loft space, and dedicated bin storage. Additionally, every garage is equipped with an electric car charging point. Gravel driveways also provide ample off-street parking space.

Great care and attention to detail have been given to the external landscaping, matching the quality found inside each home. The original paddock fence still encloses the entire development, embraced by golden and red maple trees. Plant-filled borders define the spaces between the buildings and banana and bamboo trees are thoughtfully placed, adding a touch of the exotic to the serene setting.

With three homes now sold, only three final opportunities remain to join this exclusive enclave. Each home shares the same high standard of finish while offering subtle individual features—early viewing is highly recommended.
