This elegant, seven-bedroom Arts & Crafts home, set behind secure gates on the prestigious and leafy Withdean Road, occupies a substantial plot in one of the city's most sought-after areas, renowned for its high-value homes. Spanning approximately 5,683 sq. ft., this detached house has been thoughtfully updated, harmoniously blending timeless period features with contemporary design elements.
The property offers seven bedrooms, four bathrooms (including two en-suites), and five spacious reception rooms. A separate annex provides additional accommodation, which can easily be incorporated into the main home if desired. The property also features a garden gym, a cellar with three storage zones, a spacious garage and beautifully landscaped terraced gardens. Notable finishes include period herringbone brickwork externally, while marble accents, rich wood flooring and wood panelling, work together to contribute to the home’s distinctive interior atmosphere.
In detail
Once residence of the renowned golfer Michael Campbell, this visually striking home welcomes you in through a charming brick porch. On entry, a reception room, living room and dining room to the left overlook the rear east facing gardens. These three rooms are interconnected, each with unique décor, enjoying abundant natural light and generous space. The living room, accessed through elegant double wooden doors, adds to the home's grandeur.
An expansive, well organised, contemporary kitchen/diner with a practical layout is situated towards the rear of the ground floor. The proverbial heart of the home, this space is bathed in natural light streaming through two impressive skylights. The reflective, crisp white and cream toned palette creates a fresh inviting ambience. White cabinetry and a large central island are set against Corian worksurfaces, providing ample room for food prep. Integrated appliances make this a perfect cook space, ideal for families to come together as well as entertaining guests. A separate utility room is interconnected and double doors lead from the kitchen into the reception room of the annexe on the ground floor.
A further reception room, perfect as a playroom, office, or reading room, together with one of two ground floor WCs, are positioned at the westerly aspect of the ground floor on entry. The integral triple garage is accessed via this reception room.
Completing the ground floor is a large separate annexe with its own entrance, providing a self-contained living space for guests or teenagers. Arranged over two floors, the annexe comprises three bedrooms (one en-suite), a living room and adjoining kitchen set to the side. It is separate but integral to the house so could very easily be incorporated into the main property if required.
Upstairs
There are seven bedrooms on the first floor, two of which are en-suite. Four bedrooms form the main property with three as part of the annexe. The bedrooms in the main house are set along an elegant, generously proportioned, luminous hallway that opens onto a charming external terrace. There is plenty of storage space at this level and each bedroom enjoys wonderful framed views of the gardens. A contemporary family bathroom sits between the main property bedrooms and the annexe rooms and is fitted with a spa bath, rainfall walk-in shower and double sink unit, decorated in a relaxing muted palette.
A lower ground floor cellar with three storage zones completes the footprint of the property. This space adds valuable flexibility to the home’s layout.
Outside
With the property’s elevated position, the tranquil rear gardens are accessed from the living room and kitchen via a wood terrace opening up the house and extending the indoors to the outdoors. Stairways are positioned at either end of the terrace leading down to the lawns. The decked terrace is the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful garden views while dining al fresco. Enclosed within glass panels with chrome framing there is plenty of room to sit and relax.
The landscaped terraces beyond are expansive and laid to lawn with more than enough space for children’s play areas as well as adult relaxation.
Mature trees and shrubs create privacy at all levels and at the very far end of the garden, a self-contained fully-equipped gym with external water features offers the ideal place for at-home fitness.
This beautifully appointed home combines elegant historic charm with modern conveniences, making it a perfect family residence in one of the city's most desirable neighbourhoods. Move-in ready, but with plenty of potential for reconfiguring.
