3 bedroom house for sale

Rare opportunity to buy a semi-detached house which has been in the same family for generations. Substantial garden, a garage and off-street parking on the driveway. The property is in need of modernisation.

Hamlyn-Smith are privileged to be bringing this family home in Shoreham-by-Sea to the market, for the first time since it was built nearly a hundred years ago. The house has been well-loved for generations but now requires complete modernisation.

Set back from the road with a lovely front garden, the house has a driveway that can easily accommodate two cars. There is also a garage at the end of the drive. You enter into a wide hallway to find the living room and dining room through doors to your right. Both the living room at the front and the dining room at the back are large and nicely proportioned rooms in their own right but have also been opened up to create a wonderful open reception space. Solid double doors with glazed panels, fold back to open up the room, or can be closed to separate the two spaces. From the dining room, there are further double doors to the conservatory which in turn opens to the garden. You will notice as you walk around the house that the original, solid wood, panelled doors have been retained. From the entrance hall, there is a door through to the back of the property where there is currently a breakfast room and a kitchen. There are numerous possibilities as to how this space could be reconfigured or extended, subject to the necessary consents. Outside, the magnificent garden is around 100ft long, with trees and mature shrubs.

Climbing the stairs from the entrance hall to the first floor you pass a large window which makes the spacious landing light and airy. The first floor has two fantastic-sized double bedrooms and a smaller bedroom at the front. There is also a bathroom and a separate WC. Stairs to the top floor bring you to a huge loft room with a large west-facing window.
