Superbly located in picturesque Rottingdean village, a spacious and unique TWO BEDROOMED PENTHOUSE APARTMENT with a ROOF TERRACE, SEA & COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS and its own PRIVATE OFF-STREET ENTRANCE.
This delightful home is wonderfully positioned in the heart of Rottingdean, moments from the former home of Rudyard Kipling, and overlooking the charming duck pond and The Green. A one-of-a-kind penthouse apartment spanning over 1,500 sqft/140sqm and set within a historic Grade II Listed building.
Built in the early 19th century, Norton House boasts an intriguing history. Originally built as a villa for two sisters, it later served as a retreat for friends of the Prince Regent, a hotel, and a boys' school, before being sympathetically divided into maisonettes and a penthouse during the 1960s.
The property benefits from its own private street entrance, with a convenient ground-floor WC and stairs leading to the penthouse accommodation on the second floor. At the heart of the home is a wonderful reception room measuring over 24 feet in length, with a square-fronted bay window, feature fireplace and plenty of room for dining. Doors open directly onto the private roof terrace, bringing the outside space into the living area. There is also a separate light-filled fitted kitchen, two good-sized bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes and characterful sash windows, a bathroom and a separate WC.
The private roof terrace is a real highlight, offering an inviting spot for al fresco dining and relaxing while boasting delightful views and summer sunsets over the hill. Equally appealing is the sense of tranquillity, space and natural light that extends throughout the apartment. From its peaceful setting despite the road outside to the beautiful sun-drenched kitchen in summer, every room enjoys views of either the sea or rolling countryside, creating a home with a truly special atmosphere.
