Vendors Comments:

“We built this house just over three years ago and have found it to be a comfortable, peaceful and easy house to live in. We love to entertain so the space is ideal – particularly during the warmer seasons when the garden comes into its own. We have also enjoyed the close proximity to the South Downs for dog walking and the views of the sea and marina are a joy to wake up to each day. We are looking for our next project now, but we will miss it here as the location is hard to beat and the house is so unique.”
