Introduction
A happy home for many years, this large, detached house built in traditional Sussex style radiates charm. There’s a choice of entrance - from the street at the back for supermarket deliveries to the kitchen or via the steps leading from the double garage which has a large utility area and a store.
Living Room, Dining Room and South Terrace
Focused on the views over its unique coastal location, the living room is a fabulous blank canvas for you to make your own with elegant proportions. Perfect for family time or for entertaining, there’s also an easy flow across the hallway to the dining room, where guests can experience traditional dining in a secluded setting, looking to the sea.
Between the two, with beautiful stained glass, a lobby leads out to the spacious south terrace, paved for ease of maintenance. A rare suntrap with a stunning backdrop of yachts at anchor, it’s ideal for a glamorous al fresco lifestyle where it’s easy to forget that you are just a few minutes from the centre of the city.
The Kitchen, Conservatory and Private Garden
Through an inner lobby lined with storage, the kitchen is a modern classic with a mix of wood effect and steel units delivering a practical working space. With garden views you can keep a discreet eye on pets or children, and the vendors are willing to discuss the appliances in situ.
Next door, the glazed conservatory frames the private, leafy garden at the back and opens to it. Offering versatile options, it’s an ideal spot for breakfast or lunch, or it could also be a safe play area.
Sunny and secure, the private garden to the rear is laid to lawn with surrounding beds planted for all year interest.
Two Family Double Rooms and Bathroom, the Principa
Bright and cheerful, the generous family room looks over the garden. A welcoming nursery or teenage retreat, there’s the bonus of a spacious bathroom next door. At the front of the house, the luxurious guest room is full of sunlight and opens to a private, south facing balcony. On the east ‘wing’ of a broad landing, the principal suite is light, quiet and focused on the astonishing view over the harbour to the roll of the English Channel both inside and out from its own glamorous balcony. With plenty of custom made storage ready to fill, there is also a contemporary en-suite shower room to enjoy.
Vendor’s Comments
“This has been a very happy, spacious home and we have enjoyed many celebrations inside and out – and usually both as the views over the marina to the sea are irresistible whatever the weather! All of the rooms are light and airy and we wanted to bring the special, seaside location into the main rooms whilst keeping the interiors private and comfortable. The location suited our busy lifestyle as it is convenient for getting into or out of the city, and friends could easily travel to us by car or train. Quiet and secure in a friendly street, it is also easy to lock up and leave.”
