About this property

This most charming and characterful cottage has a fantastic position next to Buckingham Park and within a mile of Shoreham’s charming town centre, with the beach and the Shoreham Bypass also within easy reach.

Set in an enviable position beside Buckingham Park, this beautifully characterful family home offers a rare combination of period charm, privacy, and contemporary family living. Tucked away on a private street and surrounded by attractive gardens, the property enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining within approximately one mile of Shoreham’s vibrant town centre, with the beach and the Shoreham Bypass also conveniently close by.
Rich in character, the home showcases a wealth of original features including exposed timbers and a traditional brick fireplace, thoughtfully balanced with a series of modern improvements that have enhanced both style and functionality.

At the heart of the property lies a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space, beautifully designed to create an impressive yet practical living environment. A striking wall of contemporary cabinetry incorporates a range of premium integrated appliances, while a substantial central island with breakfast bar provides both workspace and a natural gathering point for family and guests. Expanses of glazing, including bi-fold doors and rooflights, flood the space with natural light and create a seamless connection with the garden beyond.
The ground floor offers well-balanced accommodation beginning with an enclosed entrance porch that opens into a welcoming hallway. From here, a charming sitting room and separate study provide flexible living spaces, while a practical utility room offers direct access to the garden. The rear of the property is dedicated to the spectacular kitchen and dining area, perfectly suited for both everyday living and entertaining.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts four generously proportioned bedrooms alongside a well-appointed family bathroom featuring both bath and separate shower facilities. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden, a walk-in wardrobe, and a cleverly concealed en-suite bathroom that adds a unique and playful design element.

The gardens are a true highlight of the home, offering a private and beautifully maintained outdoor setting. Within the grounds sits a detached studio with light and power, currently arranged as a games room and gym, providing exceptional versatility for use as a home office, creative studio, or leisure space.

Blending timeless character with modern comfort, this exceptional cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive home in one of Shoreham’s most desirable settings.
