Designed to embrace the glory of the sea, this inviting home has a flowing layout and stunning views of the English Channel. With an impressive approach up a driveway lined with lavender or pedestrian path along a sun drenched, south facing garden, two garages are tucked securely away with direct access to the main house through a utility room, so beach towels can go straight into the machine, and it is larger than some kitchens we have seen in the city if you were considering creating an annexe.
The front door opens to a porch with room for organised storage which keeps the house private until you invite the caller in, and at 3.31m x 4.25m the hallway with a gleaming parquet floor and guest cloakroom tucked away introduces you to the generous scale of the rooms to enjoy.

THE SUNROOM, LIVING & DINING ROOM:
Ahead, the elegant, L shaped living room faces south for the Sussex sunshine and is lined with windows to frame magnificent views across the garden to the sea. Shimmering in gold designer paper, there is a modernist marble fireplace and plenty of room for quiet contemplation or celebrating friends and family. Opening to a sun-filled room where a wall of glass slides open to the front garden and the ever changing vista, wood is underfoot to ensure a fuss free in/out flow and with 18’7 x 11’2 (5.66m x 3.39m) it offers plenty of options for work, rest or play.

THE KITCHEN, UTILITY ROOM & GUEST ROOM:
Beautifully planned with a breakfast bar beneath the south window for picturesque sea views and a large hatch through to the dining area, the big, bright kitchen has a cheerful seaside theme. Classic in style with family friendly working surfaces appliances include an electric hob beneath a hood and oven at eye level, and there is plumbing in place for a dishwasher. Next door, a separate utility room has ample room for utility machines as well as a box freezer and extra storage, and it has access to both the garages (which have a connecting door) and the garden.
Ideal for guests or for an au pair, the spacious double bedroom is private within the ground floor and has oblique sea views and an en suite shower room which is simple but stylish.

THE FIRST FLOOR WITH PRINCIPAL SUITE:
Up on the first floor, a long landing spreads its wings from east to west and has a deliciously vintage bathroom which has views of countryside as well as the sea, and a separate w.c. and an airing cupboard are also hidden away at one end. On the sunny southwest corner of the house the second of the generous double bedrooms embraces stunning views of the English Channel and you can follow the sun to its setting over the distant bay of Worthing. With plenty of space for furniture even with a double bed and bunk beds for sleepovers in it, there is a fabulous en suite shower room and a characterful walk in closet next door.

Focused on the uninterrupted glittering vista of open water, the principal bedroom delivers coastal living at its most glamorous. Spacious and serene with all the fitted wardrobes you could hope for and unusually large en suite, it is a serene sanctuary to return to with a picture perfect vista - day and night-which you can also appreciate from a balcony that spans an impressive 12’11 x 18’5.

THE GARDENS:
A tranquil retreat, the gardens wrap around the house. At the front, statement planting around the large south lawn and broad paved sun terrace by a scented rose bed sets the bar high, and an inviting driveway lined with lavender leads around to the roll top garages and hard standing for several cars.

At the back, the garden is planted out in Mediterranean style for all year interest, and surrounded by floral scents and listening to birdsong it’s easy to forget that you’re just minutes from the centre of our famous coastal resort. With nooks and crannies to explore and a secret seating area by a timber summerhouse, the vast pet and child friendly lawn has lots of space for play. Skilfully designed, a greenhouse and shed are tucked out of sight near the gated side path by beds for growing fresh herbs, vegetables, flowers and fruit for the table.

OWNER’S SECRET:
“Warm in winter but cool and airy during summer, this house has suited our sociable lifestyle as well as our busy work/family. We were sold on the fabulous sea views throughout much of the house and we will miss morning coffees on the terrace watching the world go by.”

“This glamorous coastal home with sea views from all of the living rooms is in a prestigious location on an unusually big plot with room to grow, STC. There is already approximately 2531.10 square feet inside with bright rooms offering a sociable flow and flexible options, and the beautiful garden is one of the largest we have seen.”
