Old Fort Road, SHOREHAM-BY-SEA, BN43

This substantial residence is situated directly on Shoreham Beach, with captivating views to the south over the beach and out to sea. The detached property was originally constructed as a bungalow and then converted and re designed by a respected local architect to create a contemporary home with lots of glazing and high ceilings – flooding the home with natural light. On the south side of the house there’s a fabulous balcony, which is perfect for entertaining with views of the sea, which opens up to the reception rooms to make a big entertaining space. The modern interpretation of a beach house has been beautifully decorated and is designed in a midcentury-modern style which suits the age of the home, featuring engineered wood floors, soothing neutral walls, vast windows and a feature spiral staircase which provides access to all three floors.

The accommodation is versatile and there’s flexibility with the layout, with the option to use one or more of the bedrooms as a play room or additional reception room if needed. On the ground floor there are five bedrooms – three of which are en suite – plus a study, a family bathroom and a utility room. On the first floor the vast living/dining room and family room/cinema room are interconnecting, providing ample space for entertaining, and leads out onto the balcony via a wall of sliding glazed doors. The kitchen is attractively appointed, with stainless steel countertops and a range of professional-quality appliances. There’s masses of storage in both units and open shelving. On the second floor there’s a brilliant principal suite with a dressing room and en suite bath/shower room, and a second balcony with sea views.
