The property is arranged over three floors and will offer plenty of space for all of the family alongside a sunny, landscaped rear garden. Located on this recently created development, it is within walking distance of local Primary and Secondary schools, local shop, bus routes to Brighton and other local amenities. Furthermore open fields and countryside walks are also not far away. This lovely home was completed approximately four years ago and therefore still retains the remainder of the 10 year new build guarantee. Light and airy space is the name of the game with this particular home with each room being decorated in modern contemporary tones. The modern fitted kitchen lies to the front of the property and here you will find a wealth of units for storage, plentiful work surfaces, as well as some integrated appliances alongside a bay window that overlooks the front garden. The spacious lounge/dining room is located at the rear of the property and here you will find plenty of space for all of your soft furnishings as well as a good size dining table and chairs. Bi-fold doors overlook and afford access to the pleasant rear garden. A cloak/wc is also a very handy addition on the ground floor. Moving to the first floor you will find three bedrooms as well as the family bathroom/wc. Lastly on the second floor is the master bedroom suite. This is a huge room with plenty of space and boasts a dressing area with built-in storage and an en-suite shower room which is a real benefit. This incorporates a shower, wc and basin. Externally the front garden offers a lawn area with shrubs alongside a private drive which affords off road parking for two vehicles and which in turn leads to the garage. The sunny landscaped rear garden offers a lawn and patio area and is a great space to soak up the sun whilst the children play. * Estate Charges Apply ## Property Photos - ![Front Elevation](/listings/photos/154579043/1343443) - Front Elevation - ![Kitchen](/listings/photos/154579043/1343444) - Kitchen - ![Lounge/Dining Room](/listings/photos/154579043/1343445) - Lounge/Dining Room - ![Bay Window](/listings/photos/154579043/1343446) - Bay Window - ![Kitchen](/listings/photos/154579043/1343447) - Kitchen - ![Rear Elevation](/listings/photos/154579043/1343448) - Rear Elevation - ![Lounge/Dining Room](/listings/photos/154579043/1343449) - Lounge/Dining Room - ![Photo](/listings/photos/154579043/1343450) - ![Kitchen](/listings/photos/154579043/1343451) - Kitchen - ![Master Bedroom](/listings/photos/154579043/1343452) - Master Bedroom - ![Ensuite Shower Room](/listings/photos/154579043/1343453) - Ensuite Shower Room - ![Rear Elevation](/listings/photos/154579043/1343454) - Rear Elevation - ![Lounge/Dining Room](/listings/photos/154579043/1343455) - Lounge/Dining Room - ![Rear Elevation](/listings/photos/154579043/1343456) - Rear Elevation - ![Dining Area](/listings/photos/154579043/1343457) - Dining Area - ![Bedroom](/listings/photos/154579043/1343458) - Bedroom - ![Lounge/Dining Room](/listings/photos/154579043/1343459) - Lounge/Dining Room - ![Bedroom](/listings/photos/154579043/1343460) - Bedroom - ![Family Bathroom](/listings/photos/154579043/1343461) - Family Bathroom - ![Bi-Fold Doors](/listings/photos/154579043/1343462) - Bi-Fold Doors - ![Master Bedroom](/listings/photos/154579043/1343463) - Master Bedroom - ![Lounge/Dining Room](/listings/photos/154579043/1343464) - Lounge/Dining Room - ![Patio](/listings/photos/154579043/1343465) - Patio - ![Rear Elevation](/listings/photos/154579043/1343466) - Rear Elevation - ![Patio](/listings/photos/154579043/1343467) - Patio - ![Bedroom](/listings/photos/154579043/1343468) - Bedroom - ![Bedroom](/listings/photos/154579043/1343469) - Bedroom - ![View](/listings/photos/154579043/1343470) - View ## Floorplans - ![Floorplan 1](/listings/photos/154579043/1343471) - Floorplan 1 ## EPC Graphs - ![EE Rating](/listings/photos/154579043/1343472) - EE Rating ## FENSA Certificates This property has 1 FENSA certificate(s) on record. ### FENSA Certificate #15445702 - **Address:** 15 Skylark Avenue, PEACEHAVEN, BN10 8FP - **Certificate Issued:** 23/10/2022 - **Work Completed:** 14/10/2022 - **Items:** 1 door(s) ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
