West Sussex beach house, sleeps 8.

Curlews is a stunning, eco-friendly home with enviable views, a concealed lift, and direct access to the beach. it has bedrooms on the ground floor and a spacious open-plan living area on the first floor, to make the most of the breath-taking sea views.

The sitting room has a peaceful palette of soft blues and neutral tones, which are both calm and inviting. There's a wood burning stove to keep you company on wintery nights, and a TV if you tire of the view! The library, with its beautifully presented, covetable collection of books, provides the perfect excuse to while away the hours. If you look carefully, you’ll discover the secret bathroom, hidden behind one of the bookshelves, offering possibly the best view of any room in the house. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped with a vast, amply-stocked pantry, and a Lacanche range which makes cooking an enjoyable task. There's also a simple, yet elegant dining area with panoramic views.

On the ground floor, we have four sumptuous king-size bedrooms (one of which can be split into two single beds), and three bathrooms. Each room has it's own private terrace and views across the sea or garden. There's also an internal lift, and a fully accessible wet room.

The outside space has also been thoughtfully designed, offering a variety of places to eat, drink, and relax depending on the time of day and temperature. The Derek Jarmanesque garden provides the perfect spot for sundowners and the comfortable seating area with BBQ will tempt you to dine al fresco, making the most of a balmy summer’s evening. The breath-taking sea views coupled with the sensitively curated design, provides an exquisite setting for a truly unforgettable coastal escape.
