THIS year more than usual, we are all eagerly looking forward to summer.

This bright, modern home would not be a bad place to spend a hot summer’s day, with its outdoor swimming pool, sun terrace, large back garden and sea views.

The four-bedroom property in Royles Close, Rottingdean, is on the market for £1.9 million.

A driveway leads up to the house and garage, which has solar panels on the roof.

On the ground floor there is a large open-plan sitting room, dining area and family room which leads into the kitchen.

The whole space looks out onto the sun terrace and back garden, with folding glass doors to allow for plenty of light.

There is also underfloor heating throughout the space, to keep it warm in winter.

The Argus:

A large reception room leads to the property’s very own gym, and there is also a study which could be used as another bedroom or an annex.

The kitchen is kitted out with bespoke units, three integrated ovens and plenty of storage space - including a wine cooler.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms leading off the landing.

The main suite has fantastic sea views a luxurious en suite bathroom with a freestanding bath.

Its dressing room area has plenty of storage space and could also be converted into another bedroom.

The Argus:

The rear garden, surrounded by flint walls, has a lawn dotted with fruit trees and olive trees, and there is a wooden summerhouse as well as a greenhouse.

The heated swimming pool measures 8m by 4m and has multi coloured internal lighting for when it is warm enough to take an evening dip.

Tom Parker, consumer spokesman at Zoopla said: “This bright and elegant home has a lot to offer prospective buyers.

The Argus:

“The modern design, heated pool and sea views give a Californian feel, while the property is also a short stroll to the South Downs National Park, which is an area of outstanding natural beauty.”
