"Overview
This is a rare opportunity to acquire this truly unique exclusive house with its unique open plan spiral staircase rising through the middle of the home. It is a very light and open entertaining and living space that feels extremely spacious. Air conditioning is provided in 2 rooms. The property boasts a covered, heated, swimming pool. Unlike outdoor swimming pools, this is truly usable throughout the year, rain or dark, and becomes an essential part of the lifestyle of living in this property - with incredibly easy maintenance.

The house has been completely refurbished to the very highest quality. The stunning kitchen and real stone bathrooms complement the open plan living area and spiral staircase to give a true entertaining property with a big wow factor. The property is in immaculate decorative order, ready to move straight in.

Lighting is entirely energy saving, mostly LED. The property has a modern central heating system, giving individual digital controllers in every single room - and these can be controlled by a PC or Mobile Phone for all programming. The property also benefits from 18 individual mini-electric meters, one per electrical circuit, to allow accurate monitoring of what is using energy and assist with energy saving. The property has modern double glazing throughout. Overall it's a highly energy efficient property without compromising comfort.

Driveway
The front of the house is framed by a beautiful large tree. A brand new driveway provides parking for 4 cars as well as access to the garage. It is surrounded with tall trees giving excellent privacy. People always comment on how secluded it feels at both the front and especially in the garden.

Garden
Mostly laid to lawn, the Garden is well stocked with mature plants, shrubs and a rose bed. The lower garden has a large pond at the end. The garden is lit by automatic light sensitive controls. There is a storage area under the swimming pool decking.

Swimming Pool
The 33 foot swimming pool is covered by a retractable roof, which slides all the way back. This gives the luxury feel of an indoor swimming pool whilst not losing the ability to use it outdoors in the summer. It is lit, and perfect for swimming in the dark evenings without feeling the breeze. It is heated with a brand new Worcester condensing boiler which sits next to the main house boiler, and this gives excellent economy for pool heating. The owner runs the pool at 33 degrees for 9 months of the year. Due to the roof, the maintenance required is tiny - 10 minutes a week in total at the most.

Entertainment
The property has Virgin TV, Virgin Internet (150mb) and BT Infinity Internet (80mb). Hidden cables are run around the lounge for full surround sound speakers, and an HD TV cable runs from the entertainment system up to the loft, where you can distribute it around the bedrooms.

Location
The property is located close to local amenities and has good transport links. A quick shortcut through Ovingdean gives good links to the marina where there are excellent restaurants. The shops at the top of the road offer a good variety of retail and takeaways. There are good schools in the area such as Rudyard Kipling Primary School which is approximately 0.4 miles away. Falmer station is approximately 1.4 miles away and Brighton mainline station is only a 10 minute drive. There is a local shop at the park just around the corner.

Owners Comments
We have absolutely loved living here for the past five years, and have extensively modernised and extended the house. Everyone that visits immediately comments on how lovely the house is, and it really has that "wow" factor. We particularly love the area - its peaceful, with quiet neighbours, and only a few minutes walk from a fields at the same time as being closely connected to the city. The swimming pool is the centre of entertainment, with guests always bringing their swimsuits whatever time of day they come! We are sad to leave, but it was unavoidable.

Im choosing to sell this house myself with the help of Housenetwork. Im doing this because I dont think an estate agent can do the property justice and I want to show any potential owners around myself. If you visit, ill be able to answer absolutely any questions you have, and demonstrate everything first hand.

Feedback from two Estate Agents: "Wow, it's even more spacious than it appears in the photos. The open plan living area is fantastic!"
