Set on a generous plot in a quiet cul-de-sac on the southern slopes of the South Downs, this five-bedroom detached house suits a growing family seeking space and light. The home offers a versatile ground-floor layout with a vaulted entrance, spacious lounge with wood burner, an open-plan dining/reception and a triple-aspect sun room that opens to the rear garden. The fitted kitchen and separate utility room add practical family functionality.
The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite and built-in wardrobes; three further first-floor bedrooms plus a ground-floor office/bedroom provide flexibility for children, guests or a home workspace. The property has a modern Viessmann gas boiler, double glazing throughout, an attached single garage and off-street parking — all useful day-to-day conveniences.
The location is a clear strength: under two miles to Shoreham town centre and mainline station, close to Downs and river walks, and within easy reach of a range of well-regarded primary and independent schools. The rear garden is landscaped with paved terrace, lawn and raised beds offering safe outdoor space for children and pets.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: broadband speeds are very slow, cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated (property dates from c.1970s), and council tax is described as expensive. While the house is presented well and mostly ready to occupy, there is obvious potential to update or improve thermal efficiency and connectivity to suit long-term family needs.
