Up on a hill for uninterrupted light and with sea views from the front, this striking house is set privately back from the quiet street and stands out even from its prosperous neighbours with white render, crisp lines of composite fencing for low maintenance, double glazed windows, smart off-street parking, a double garage and a hidden deck where kayaks can dry.
A stained-glass front door opens to a tiled lobby and inside, the glamorous finish extends even to the hallway with lush carpet and a radiator which is a work of art. Ahead, a family room is bright and comfortable with a welcoming feature wall, and it flows into a stunning lounge diner, designed to entertain in LA style. Sunlight streams through two large picture windows which frame the garden, a huge skylight is high overhead and at your feet, a wine cellar set beneath the heated limed oak flooring has a glazed trap door just for fun (stands at 1 metre square along and 1 meter deep). Party perfect with plenty of space and ambient lighting to enjoy inside, sliding doors open to a covered veranda large enough for dining where your guests can relax and enjoy the garden at any time of year as it comes with a wood burning stove.
At the heart of this home, the streamlined kitchen looks out to sea and family friendly, the layout and working surfaces are practical and the storage is sophisticated. High spec integral appliances include a touch induction hob beneath a hood opposite a Zanussi combi/grill and fan oven, the Hotpoint dishwasher is also integrated and the American style Samsung fridge freezer could stay, subject to circumstance. As you would expect of a home of this quality, there is a separate utility room just across the hall. This property also comes with a separate laundry/utility room.
Ideal for guests, sharers, or an au pair as they can come and go without disturbing the family rooms upstairs, two beautiful ground floor bedrooms which do not share a wall each have sea views and one has internally organised floor to ceiling wardrobes. Between the two a luxury bathroom has a whirlpool bath which senses when it is full, a spacious walk in Aqualisa shower- and a designer finish from top to toe.
Upstairs, the third generous double room is quiet and calm with garden views. To the right, the principal bedroom spans the depth of the building with leafy views at the back and a large fold up and out Velux balcony to bring in a picture-perfect vista sweeping from rolling Downland to the glittering sea. With a chic en-suite shower room it is a special sanctuary, and a deep walk-through closet connects to the fifth, restful bedroom which would be a perfect, peaceful nursery with plenty of room for them to grow or comfortable home office, big enough to share.
Outside, the double garage has been extended with a workshop and conservatory attached, raising interesting questions about a separate area from which to work from home or inter-generational living stnc. The covered veranda is a joy in all seasons and the garden, raised to catch the sun is a private oasis which is child and pet secure with composite fencing. A lawn for play and a deck for seating or eating in the Sussex sunshine, and the central summer house with power is the perfect spot for a quiet read, or for a teenage den.
Agent Says:
“This stunning home offers a sociable, champagne lifestyle in a sought after location 2 minutes from the sea and a footpath to open countryside. Popular with professionals and families, schools are good and access to the city, the station and the airports is easy.”
Owner’s Secret:
“We have enjoyed 10 happy years here by the sea with countryside walks around the corner and the school and park easy to reach. We loved creating our dream house which is ideal for family but also for entertaining, and we use the covered veranda a lot – it is a safety net for parties too! Finally completed in 2019 we hope you enjoy the flowing layout as much as we have - it is easy to live in and very comfortable but also has touches of luxury to enjoy, and it also means the house is airy and open to the garden in summer but warm and cosy in winter. We designed the whole house to be low maintenance, and outside the fencing and decking are composite easy care and the flat roofs are fibre glass not felt – and inside, although all of the bedrooms are beautiful, we did want our own bedroom to be really special and hope you think so too!”
