IF YOU had £2.8 million dropped in your lap you could buy yourself a luxury home in one of the city’s most sought after locations.

Somerhill is a stunning detached home built in the arts and crafts style.

The lucky owner can enjoy remarkable views of the sea and lounge in the property’s Gertrude Jekyll styled lush garden.

A Strutt and Parker estate agent spokesman said: "The home is a substantial and beautifully presented arts and crafts house located in one of Brighton's most sought after locations, enjoying stunning views towards the sea."

The four-bedroom house, which is in Roedean Crescent, Brighton, costs £2.795 million and it sits on a near half acre site. The occupants of this home would also have the luxury of having four bathrooms, four receptions and an attic.

You can access the property through a private gate, and as you continue you will see the beautiful garden and a detached double garage to one side and a parking area.

The entrance porch leads to an impressive entrance hall with wide solid wood floorboards, exposed beams and wood panelling.

The twin staircases in the living room lead you to a lovely galleried area where double doors open to the swimming pool and upper terrace.

The ground floor room is ideally arranged for large scale entertaining and partying. The drawing room is a very special room with an impressive double-height vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers, leaded-light windows, some stained glass, beautiful solid wood floor and a large inglenook fireplace with gargoyle carvings.

The kitchen is a very spacious area with shaker style units and solid wood work surfaces and includes a range of integrated appliances.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room where you can access the swimming pool and rear garden terraces.

The opulent formal dining room has a dual aspect with an abundance of natural light.

Somerhill is not only an ideal home location, but it is also close to many amenities and attractions. Roedean Crescent is a six-minute drive from Brighton Marina with easy access to regular train services to London Victoria and Gatwick Airport.

There will be no trouble for parents looking for reputable schools for their children.

The choices include Brighton College, Roedean School, Lancing College, Ardingly College and Hurstpierpoint College.
