luxury seaside houses for sale West Sussex, United Kingdom

Sea Way is Middleton-on-Sea's best-kept secret, and this handsome detached residence, set behind five-bar gates and a sweeping gravel drive, has waited a long time for its moment. Arranged with quiet confidence across two floors and circa 3,070 square feet, the house opens into a wide, versatile hallway that provides direct access to all principal rooms and sets the tone for everything beyond it. To one side, two interconnecting reception rooms run the full length of the property, a gas fireplace and a woodstove at their heart, opening through elegant patio doors onto a south-facing garden built for long afternoons. The kitchen breakfast room is a true feature, boasting a wealth of storage units, Miele double ovens and dishwasher, and two sets of patio doors onto the same south-facing garden. A separate dining room, also garden-facing and set centrally between the sitting room and kitchen, adds a practical space for more formal occasions. A home office overlooking the driveway, a utility room and a WC complete the practical side of seafront living. Upstairs, five double bedrooms unfold around a central landing. The principal suite pairs a dressing room with an en suite and a small balcony with sea views that shift with the tide, while a second en suite bedroom and a family bathroom serve the remaining rooms. It is a layout built for a full household, or for guests who never quite want to leave. Outside, the garden stretches close to 190 feet, a rare depth this close to the water, with a wooden gate opening directly onto the Greensward and, beyond it, Middleton-on-Sea's beach. To the front, gated entry and a substantial driveway lead to a double garage, discreet enough from the road, generous once you're through the gate. Location Imagine waking to the sound of the sea and stepping onto the beach before breakfast. Tides View sits within easy walking distance of Middleton-on-Sea's village amenities, a butcher, a newsagent, a hardware store, a fish and chip shop and a farm shop among them, alongside a well-used local sports club. Middleton-on-Sea rewards anyone who likes to be outdoors. Its network of footpaths connect to a grassy promenade running all the way from Aldwick through Felpham, while beach access on foot keeps the shoreline feeling private rather than public. Chichester's historic city centre is a short drive away, with its Festival Theatre and a strong choice of restaurants, and the South Downs National Park opens up beyond it for walking and riding. Goodwood, close by, brings a racecourse, golf and an airfield to the doorstep, along with the Festival of Speed and the Goodwood Revival each year. For those on the water, Chichester Harbour offers moorings, with further berthing and lifting facilities at Birdham Pool and Chichester Marina.

***GUIDE PRICE: £850,000 - £900,000 Steeped in history and rich in character, Royal Crescent Mews once formed part of the original stable block and servants’ quarters serving the prestigious Royal Crescent houses, constructed in 1820. Tucked discreetly behind Royal Crescent, Brighton’s first grand seafront residential development, this charming mews setting offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the city’s architectural heritage. It is also believed that the acclaimed actor Sir Laurence Olivier owned this very mews house during the 1960s and 1970s, adding a touch of theatrical provenance to an already captivating home. From its striking façade, this exceptional mews house immediately impresses with its abundance of charm, period character and beautifully balanced interiors. The ground floor has been thoughtfully designed for modern living. The spacious south-facing open-plan kitchen and dining room is finished with elegant high-gloss cabinetry, sleek white stone worktops and integrated appliances including a gas hob and electric oven, the space combines contemporary style with practicality. A wonderful nod to the property’s coach house past can be found in the original carriageway-style double stable-door windows, which flood the room with natural light and create a truly distinctive feature. To the rear of the property, the inviting living room opens directly onto a generous patio garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Perfect for al fresco dining, entertaining guests or simply unwinding in the warmer months, this private outside space is a rare and valuable addition within such a central location. The current owners have added soundproofing for the ultimate comfort when playing music or partying into the night. A well-appointed cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation. Ascending via the central staircase, the first-floor hosts two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both beautifully light and served by a stylish family bathroom. The second floor mirrors the layout, offering two further bedrooms. The principal guest bedroom is a comfortable double, while the fourth bedroom, slightly smaller in size, benefits from its own ensuite shower room complete with walk-in shower, wash basin and WC, making it ideal for visiting guests, older children or flexible home working. The location is exceptional. Directly opposite the crescent are opportunities for sailing, water sports and coastal walks. Kemp Town village, with its independent cafes, shops and restaurants, is just a short stroll away. Brighton Marina offers supermarkets, cinemas and casual dining, while Brighton College and the Royal Sussex County Hospital are within easy walking distance.
