Raising the bar in the exclusive, luxury property market, this stunning, 4 bed, 4 bath family house 10 mins drive from the city centre and the sea has plentiful, gated parking, a spacious sun terrace, a large, landscaped garden and walls of glass to embrace uninterrupted light and glorious views over Preston Valley. Beautifully designed, solar panels feed into the National Grid and no expense has been spared to create a fantasy home with a perfect balance of glamourous rooms for entertaining and quiet, comfortable rooms for the family to enjoy. In one of the most select areas of the city, local schools both state and private are good, the sports facilities and playgrounds of Hove Park, the tennis courts, playground, café and open air theatre of Dyke Road Park and sports facilities, playgrounds and fun runs of Preston Park are all within a 3-5 min radius and ideal for professional life too, Preston Park’s direct trains to Gatwick and London are 4 mins by cab or 15 mins on foot.
Inside, the house has an easy flow across 5 split levels. The ground floor reception is lined with glass to bring the leafy backdrop into the home, and opens to the fabulous sun terrace where the glazed balustrade ensures you can enjoy the view even whilst seated. A room for all seasons, there’s a digital fireplace in one of the seating areas for a warm welcome. Downstairs, the high-spec kitchen dining room is ideal for every day – but also for parties, folding open to the dining terrace, custom built cucina and garden. Although seriously glamorous, this is also a working home so between these two levels, the first double bedroom is used as a gym but is also ideal as a home office or room for an au pair with a shower room next door, and there’s also a well-planned utility room tucked away. On the first floor, the magnificent principal suite is all about relaxing whilst enjoying its astonishing setting, and has fitted wardrobes to fill and a spa-like en-suite. The guest room has a design led finish in both the bedroom and adjacent bathroom whilst at the top of the house, the 4th double room, en-suite, forms the entire second floor and is completely private. There is an extensive wired network for high speed internet and HDMI distribution, and sophisticated security controls.
This is a rare opportunity to own one of the prestigious homes in Brighton’s own Hollywood Hills which do not come onto the market often- and sell fast with the sea a short drive and both Dyke Road or London Road giving easy access to the Royal Pavilion, famous Lanes and beaches lined with café bars, or to the National Park and A23/A27.
Winding its way up the leafy western side of Preston Valley, Withdean Road is a peaceful enclave of substantial detached homes, mature trees and established gardens, yet Brighton’s vibrant city centre is just ten minutes away. Behind secure timber gates, this striking architect-designed Eco-House makes an immediate impression, its crisp white render, cubist lines and expansive energy-efficient glazing creating a contemporary home that sits beautifully within its natural surroundings. With secure parking for three to four cars, electric vehicle charging and the reassurance of the remaining ten-year warranty, it combines striking design with modern practicality.
Inside, soaring ceilings, a vaulted atrium and generous glazing create an immediate sense of light and space. The living room is a wonderful retreat, with windows on four sides framing the leafy valley, full-height doors opening onto an elevated sun terrace and a digital fireplace adding warmth and atmosphere. Limed oak flooring and clean white walls keep the focus on the views, while the flexible lighting makes it equally suited to relaxed evenings and entertaining.
The impressive kitchen and dining room is the heart of the home, with dramatic ceiling heights, extensive glazing and corner bi-fold doors opening onto the garden. A beautifully appointed German kitchen features granite worktops, a substantial island, Tom Ford pendant lighting and an array of integrated Smeg appliances. Designed for sociable living, the space flows effortlessly onto a broad dining terrace created by acclaimed Timeless Landscapes, complete with an outdoor cucina, gas barbecue, hob and sink.
Open to the south, the landscaped garden is a private haven for entertaining and family life. Architectural planting provides year-round interest, while the generous lawn offers space for children, pets and even a basketball court. With a sunny terrace, far-reaching views and the distant city lights twinkling after dark, it is easy to forget how close you are to the city.
Practicality is woven throughout the design. A well-equipped utility room keeps laundry neatly tucked away, while a versatile double bedroom on the same level works equally well as a guest room, home office, gym or au pair’s room, with a stylish adjoining shower room. Upstairs, a further double bedroom offers space for a king-size bed and seating area, accompanied by a contemporary family bathroom.
The principal suite is a wonderfully private retreat, with generous fitted wardrobes, leafy valley views and a luxurious en-suite featuring a freestanding bath, dual-head wet-room shower and double-length Duravit basin. Occupying the entire second floor, the fourth double bedroom offers a peaceful hideaway beneath the roofline, with bespoke wardrobes, dormer and Velux windows and a spacious en-suite with a double-width rainfall shower.
With approximately 2,933 sq ft of accommodation, four double bedrooms, four bathrooms, a ground-floor cloakroom and beautifully connected living spaces, this is a home designed to adapt as family life evolves. Underfloor heating, double glazing and energy-management systems ensure year-round comfort, while the open, level flow of the main living areas makes everyday living and entertaining effortless.
Despite its secluded feel, the location is exceptionally convenient. Matlock Road shops are around two minutes away, Preston Park station is approximately four minutes by car, and Brighton, Hove and the seafront are easily reached. Withdean Sports Complex, Preston Park and Hove Park are close by, while the South Downs offer an easy escape into the countryside. Families are also well served by a choice of respected state and independent schools, including Westdene, Varndean, Dorothy Stringer and Brighton College.
Withdean offers the rare combination of privacy, greenery and convenience, and this distinctive contemporary home captures it perfectly. A sophisticated yet welcoming Eco-House, it offers space to entertain, room for everyone to retreat and a beautiful garden in which to enjoy the changing seasons, all within easy reach of Brighton’s city life and the coast.
