Positioned at the front of the property, the spacious lounge measures approximately 14'1" x 12'4" and features a large bay window which creates a bright and comfortable living space.

To the rear, spanning the full width of the property, is a generously sized kitchen/dining room 20'6" x 13'2". This bright dual-aspect space enjoys a lovely outlook over the garden and beyond towards the surrounding landscape. There is ample room for both dining and family living, whilst sliding patio doors open directly onto the rear terrace, creating an ideal environment for entertaining and al fresco dining.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of cream-fronted units complemented by wood-effect work surfaces.

As neighbouring properties have demonstrated, the generous plot offers future scope to extend the accommodation and maximise the stunning rear outlook, subject to the necessary planning and building consents.

First Floor

The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms.

Bedroom One is positioned at the rear and enjoys the property's finest feature, the spectacular far-reaching views stretching across Shoreham and Southwick towards the sea beyond. The south westerly aspect also ensures plenty of afternoon sunshine.

Bedroom Two is a comfortable double room situated at the front of the property and benefits from a fitted wardrobe.

Bedroom Three is a good-sized single bedroom, also with fitted storage, making it equally suitable as a child's room, guest bedroom or home office.

The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower attachment, pedestal wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail. Fully tiled walls and a side window provide both practicality and natural light.

Outside

The rear garden is a particular highlight of the home, extending to approximately 60ft in length.

Immediately adjoining the property is a generous paved terrace which enjoys a wonderfully sunny south westerly aspect and provides the perfect space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the exceptional views. Steps lead down to an area of lawn bordered by established planting, with both a garden shed and summerhouse providing useful storage and recreational space.

The outlook from the garden is truly special. With land falling away behind, the views remain open and uninterrupted, stretching across surrounding countryside, Shoreham and Southwick, with the sea beyond. The ever-changing backdrop and spectacular sunsets make this an enviable setting that is difficult to replicate.

To the front, a recently installed paved driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles side by side, aided by a widened dropped kerb. The property has also benefited from external repointing in more recent years.
