About
Marketed exclusively by Jacobs Steel, East Preston, this exceptional home stands proudly on the highly coveted West Kingston Private Sea Estate, one of the most desirable coastal environments in West Sussex.
Set on a wider-than-average plot totalling just shy of quarter of an acre and backing directly onto the residents’ private parkland (circa 16 acres), the setting is superb—quiet, secure, and perfectly suited to those seeking an elevated coastal lifestyle.
The property is immaculately presented throughout, with the current owners having invested thoughtfully in its refinement, including a beautifully refitted kitchen and high-quality finishes such as oak skirtings, architraves, and contemporary cottage-style décor that perfectly complements the charming external character and period-style coving.
There is the original conservatory base from the kitchen which makes a smaller extension feasible with less disruption.
The result is a warm and inviting home that feels both modern and timeless with extra potential.
While already offering generous and versatile accommodation to include annex potential, this property represents an outstanding opportunity for buyers wanting to create something truly special.
The current owners previously secured planning permission (Planning Reference K/48/21/HH)—now lapsed but, in principle, straightforward to reinstate—for a substantial extension that would transform the footprint into a spacious five-bedroom residence complete with a double garage.
This underlines the remarkable potential the plot offers, especially given its prime proximity to the seafront and its unusually broad frontage. The location is nothing short of idyllic.
West Kingston is renowned for its peaceful atmosphere, leafy avenues, and exclusive coastal setting.
The home is just an easy level walk into East Preston village, where a welcoming selection of independent cafés, shops and amenities create a vibrant community feel.
The greensward and beachfront are moments away, offering glorious walks along the seafront—whether strolling towards the popular Bluebird Café in Ferring, enjoying dog walks along the wide-open shoreline, or simply taking in the expansive coastal views.
The wider area offers endless lifestyle benefits, with Rustington, Worthing, Chichester, and the world-famous Goodwood Estate all within convenient reach.
Excellent transport links, including the A259/A27 corridor and nearby Angmering railway station, provide easy access to London, Brighton, Gatwick, and Chichester, making this an ideal base for both commuters and those seeking a second home by the sea.
Immaculately maintained, full of charm, and offering huge scope to further enhance, this is a rare opportunity to secure a beautifully presented home in one of East Preston’s most sought-after private estates—where coastal living, village convenience and future potential come together seamlessly.
