Full Description: Positioned along the Rottingdean coastline, this is a striking seafront home where design, light and landscape come together in perfect harmony. Owned and thoughtfully curated over the past nine years by an interior designer and a garden designer, the property has been transformed into a space that feels both elevated and effortlessly liveable.<br /><br />From the moment you arrive, the setting makes an impression, with convenient off-road parking for two cars, a decked pathway guides you along the side of the house to the entrance. Step inside and you are immediately welcomed by a dramatic open-plan reception space, where high ceilings and exposed painted steelwork create architectural interest, while an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling glazing frames uninterrupted sea views. Natural light pours in throughout the day, making this an exceptional space for both relaxed living and entertaining.<br /><br />A beautifully positioned office offers a moment of calm, with the option to work while looking out to sea. A hallway leads through to the staircase and a well-appointed guest W.C., Next the kitchen is towards the rear of this open social space. Here, dark wood cabinetry is paired with light composite worktops, creating a refined and contemporary contrast. Fully equipped with premium V-ZUG appliances, including a coffee machine, oven and steam oven, the space is both functional and elegant. A stylish breakfast bar subtly zones the room, providing a sociable place to gather.<br /><br />The kitchen flows seamlessly into a bright conservatory, currently arranged as a home gym but equally suited as a reading room or garden lounge. From here, the garden reveals itself as a true extension of the home — a carefully composed coastal retreat. Gravel pathways wind through soft, naturalistic planting, with grasses, verbena and allium adding texture and seasonal colour. A raised decked area captures the last of the sun, offering a peaceful spot to unwind. Practicality is equally considered, with a side gate and a large storage unit topped with a sedum roof, ideal for bikes and watersports equipment.<br /><br />Upstairs, the first floor continues to impress. The principal suite has been thoughtfully designed to maximise its position, with a floating bed oriented towards the sea, allowing you to wake to ever-changing coastal views. Built-in storage is neatly integrated into the eaves, while floor-to-ceiling windows, framed by shutters, flood the room with light. The ensuite shower room is finished to a high standard, with a walk-in shower and underfloor heating.<br /><br />Two further double bedrooms sit alongside a beautifully appointed family bathroom, also featuring underfloor heating and a freestanding bath designed for long, relaxing soaks.<br /><br />The home has already been recognised within the design world, having been featured in House Beautiful Magazine, a testament to the level of detail and care that has gone into its creation. <br /><br />Beyond the house, Rottingdean offers a unique blend of coastal charm and community spirit. Its historic high street is home to independent shops, cafés and pubs, alongside a post office and the much-loved village green with its duck pond and cricket club. The recently refurbished The White Horses adds a contemporary touch to the village’s hospitality scene, while Brighton is just a short fifteen-minute drive away.<br /><br />For those who enjoy the outdoors, the Undercliff Path provides a spectacular coastal route for walking, cycling or running directly into Brighton, with the sea never far from view.<br /><br />What sets this home apart is not just its position, but the lifestyle it offers. Peaceful yet connected, design-led yet deeply comfortable, it is a home shaped by creativity and a love of its surroundings. With the sea as its ever-changing backdrop, Marine Drive is a place to slow down, entertain, and truly enjoy coastal living at its finest.
