Commanding breathtaking views over scenic Cuckmere Valley, Riverdale House is a remarkably spacious Victorian house of great character within a delightful downland setting.

The property forms one of a pair believed to have been originally built by the same family. In more recent years the property has been run as an upmarket small country guest house/bed and breakfast and offers beautifully presented accommodation which would provide an extremely elegant and spacious family home subject to any consents required. There are glorious views over the Cuckmere Valley and downland countryside flanks the property at the rear. There is an area of paddock which offers potential for accommodating a pony or two and the large outbuilding offers scope for a variety of use. Only an internal inspection will convey the individual appeal and fine features of this delightful home.
