Why you’ll like it:
Set well back from the road behind a neat front lawn and path, this house is attractive on approach with a Neo-Georgian façade bearing large multi-pane windows to fill it with natural light from the south. A long path leads to a pilastered front door opening to an entrance hall with double doors leading through to the elegant living room to the left.

From the moment you enter this house, it is clear the current owners have a refined eye for interiors, using a warm palette of subtle neutrals to create a stylish and harmonious home which invites complete relaxation. Pale wood flooring flows through the ground floor for continuity, paired with fresh white walls to suit all styles of furnishing. Bespoke cabinetry sits within the alcoves to house AV equipment around the decorative mantlepiece with an electric fire fitted. There is ample space in here for sumptuous sofas and chairs, while there is space to dine in the rear reception room leading out to the garden.

There is a second space to dine at the kitchen island which forms a breakfast bar, allowing the person cooking to remain sociable. Well-designed, the kitchen comes fitted with ample storage and all integrated appliances, so you can move in with ease. Stone worktops in white complete the luxury look.

Outside, the garden is not overlooked with tall, rendered walls and lush green neighbouring borders which add to the privacy. There is space to dine alfresco and the faux grass is excellent for little ones to play on as it is clean and low maintenance. The property also benefits from its own private garage.

Returning inside, there are two beautiful double bedrooms and a roomy single – although it currently houses twin cots, so it would also allow for a small double bed or bunk beds if needed. The principal bedroom has a wall of built-in wardrobes, one of which opens to reveal an en suite shower, while bedroom two also benefits from a wealth of storage. The immaculate, neutral decoration continues on this floor and all rooms have easy access to the bathroom, lined in natural stone with a deep bath and gleaming white sanitaryware.

Both the principal bedroom and living room also boast full height shuttered windows on the southerly elevation, so the natural light is glorious, yet the shutters allow for weekend lie-ins.

Quietly situated, this well-designed home is brilliantly located on the border of Southwick and Shoreham, with their great schools, parks, shops, river and beach, so should appeal to all generations! The vibrant City of Brighton and Hove is within easy reach and Southwick Station and the A23 are right on the doorstep for those needing fast links to the Airports or London.
