Description

Jacobs Steel bring you Goldfinches an enviably positioned home in the very heart of East Preston, just off the picturesque village green, this impressive and exceptionally spacious detached family residence offers a rare blend of coastal living and everyday convenience.

Situated in the highly regarded Willowhayne Crescent, the property balances a prime central location with a secluded feel. The beach is approximately a three-minute walk away, while the village green, offering independent cafés, local shops, and a popular gastro pub, is quite literally on your doorstep. The seafront promenade, ideal for coastal walks and swimming, is moments away, making this an exceptional setting for those seeking a true village-by-the-sea lifestyle.

Despite its central position, the property benefits from a high degree of privacy, being well-screened from the quiet surrounding roads that form part of The Angmering On Sea Private Estate. Mature boundaries and established planting create a peaceful environment, rarely found in such a convenient location.

Internally, the accommodation is both substantial and versatile, extending to five bedrooms and multiple reception spaces arranged over two floors. A wide and welcoming reception hallway sets the tone, leading to three generous reception rooms. These include a superb principal living room measuring 22'9" x 14'2" and a further 16'10" x 13'5" sitting room overlooking the garden. A third reception room offers flexibility as a study, snug, or playroom.

The standout feature of the ground floor is the impressive 36ft kitchen/dining room, providing extensive space for family life and entertaining. This is complemented by a separate utility room, a convenient cloakroom, and an integral garage.

To the first floor, an extremely spacious landing serves five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom measuring 15'2" x 12'10", alongside four further generous doubles. Three bathrooms provide practicality for modern family living.

Externally, the property benefits from ample driveway parking in addition to the integral double garage. The frontage offers excellent scope to create further off-road parking if desired, subject to the usual consents. The south-facing rear garden provides a private and secure space for relaxation and entertaining.

Willowhayne Crescent remains one of East Preston’s most desirable addresses, prized for its proximity to both the village green and the sea, its quiet residential feel, and the strong sense of community that defines this coastal village. This is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial and private family home in one of the area’s most enviable positions.

East Preston is a desirable coastal village known for its strong community spirit and excellent transport links. Angmering mainline station is within walking distance, providing direct services to London Victoria, Brighton, Portsmouth, and Southampton. Gatwick Airport, just 40 miles away, ensures effortless national and international travel.
