4 bed terraced house for sale

East Street, Shoreham-By-Sea BN43

This wonderfully refurbished house in Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, originally part of the Chantry and then the town Doctors home has been lovingly brought back to life after its last incarnation as a bank.

Sanctuary House sits on East Street, which runs opposite St Mary de Haura, a Grade i-listed parish church that has stood as a place of worship for over 900 years. The home as it stands today was once part of a striking double-fronted house. The local restoration experts have ensured that this home nods to the past and present with it’s design. A series of sophisticated living spaces occupy the ground floor, guiding towards a large rear garden, while the home's three bedrooms occupy the upper levels.
A subtle palette of natural paint colours and finishes adorn its walls, wool carpets and textured oak flooring run throughout. Newer conveniences, including air source heat pump and a gas fueled range, underfloor heating throughout the ground-floor and period cast-iron radiators have been integrated to create a characterful home well-adapted to the needs of modern life. The rear private parking with gated access also houses an EV charger for the property.

Entry is via a smart oak-clad hallway—once the paneling of the manager’s office—where the home’s signature lime-washed walls first appear. On the right is a flexible space currently used as a study that could also make for a brilliant music room, snug or fourth bedroom. Light from bay windows illuminates this room with views of the Church and grounds. Vintage glazed French doors lead into a contemporary living room which houses a wood-burning stove set on a white concrete plinth, similarly the concrete platform and solid oak stairs lead you to the first floor in this open plan living area.
The generous kitchen and dining room sit at the rear and bask in the light that pours in from the glazing along its far wall. The quartz worktops house a huge, reclaimed slate sink. The kitchen is exquisitely integrated with new appliances and vintage French furniture to create practical yet stylish living.
The home's three restorative bedrooms lie upstairs. The principal room is at the front, with the same wide bay as the study below. A dressing room, or secondary study also leads to a second-floor balcony with South Downs and sea views via a vaulted en-suite bathroom. The family bathroom with a walk-in shower, roll-top bath and stunning double sinks is perfect for the two Easterly bedrooms.
