About this property

Impressive, wonderfully spacious, 1937 manor house with secluded, tranquil, mature southerly garden in popular Shoreham, offering generous accommodation over three floors. Retaining original character and plenty of history, alongside modern upgrades to the fabric of the building, this is a great family home.

This impressively proportioned, 1937 manor house occupies a mature, secluded and peaceful, 0.4-acre southerly plot in central Shoreham, offering adaptable and ample accommodation over three floors. The property feels wonderfully private and has a wealth of original character, including timber salvaged from Churchill’s HMS Enchantress, incorporated into sections of the staircase and details throughout the house. Set
well back on a one-way section of the road behind established planting, the property enjoys a private, tucked-away position.

Upon entering, there is a wood-panelled entrance hall with feature fireplace, cloakroom and study leading off it. The main family living space spans the entirety of the rear of the house, all overlooking and opening onto the garden. The sociable kitchen-breakfast room with large utility off it, also provides access into the sunroom extension (with additional cloakroom). Also off the entrance hall are the dining room with exposed beams and fireplace, and fantastically
generous, front-to-back, living room with glazed doors opening onto a covered terrace.

Upstairs are five extremely well-proportioned
bedrooms, including two en-suites, together with a
family bathroom. The principal suite occupies the top
floor with its own bathroom and southerly balcony
with glorious views over the garden and rooftops
beyond

A particular feature is the self-contained one-bedroom annexe with private entrance, ideal for guests, studio space or home working.

Further benefits include a carriage driveway, garage, solar-ready boiler, CCTV and a high-pressure water system. Shoreham town centre and mainline station are approximately 0.4 miles away.
