A rare beachfront detached house on Old Fort Road offering direct access to Shoreham Beach and uninterrupted sea views. At roughly 3,482 sq ft, the home centres on a dramatic 34ft open-plan kitchen, dining and living space with large south-facing sliding doors that flood interiors with light and frame the coast. Bedrooms are all doubles, with air-conditioning installed in the sleeping accommodation and luxury Italian bathrooms providing a high-spec finish.
Planning permission is already granted to add another floor for a principal suite with floor-to-ceiling glazing, walk-in dressing room and en-suite — a significant value-enhancer for buyers seeking a bespoke coastal penthouse feel. Practical features include a large garage, private driveway and separate utility room, while the south-facing, walled garden with decking gives direct and private access to the beach for easy outdoor entertaining.
Buyers should note the property’s age and exposed coastal location mean ongoing maintenance is likely; the original cavity walls appear to have no added insulation and the double glazing installation date is unknown. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and while flood risk is low here, salt spray and coastal weather can increase external maintenance and decoration costs compared with inland homes.
This house will suit buyers after an exceptional seaside lifestyle — families who prioritise outdoor space and schools nearby, downsizers wanting single-level living options on one floor, or buyers seeking a luxury home with further extension potential. Fast broadband, low crime and proximity to good schools complete a strong practical picture for life on the Shoreham seafront.
