Description
This three-bedroom detached house on Shoreham Beach has a large entrance hall and a bright triple-aspect lounge and dining area. A ground-floor bedroom is served by a shower room, with a separate WC also on this level. The kitchen is functional and offers scope for modernisation. Upstairs are two further bedrooms, while a large rear roof void may offer potential to extend the first-floor accommodation, subject to planning and other necessary checks.
Outside, the property has a garage, off-street parking for several cars and a private, low-maintenance rear garden. Shoreham Beach Primary School is described as a two-minute walk away, with Ferry Road shops under half a mile away. A footbridge provides access to Shoreham-by-Sea High Street and the mainline station. The house is freehold and in Council Tax Band E. The listing presents it as an opportunity to update the kitchen and investigate the scope of the roof void.

Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This detached Shoreham Beach home has a lot going for it as a light-touch project: the lounge/diner is bright and spacious, the photographed living areas and bedrooms look clean and usable, and there’s a private, maintained garden, garage and parking. The older kitchen and bathroom finishes offer scope to personalise without the photos suggesting a major refurbishment. The large rear roof void is an interesting possibility for future expansion, subject to feasibility and permissions.
The location and fundamentals are strong, but the price is not a particular bargain: at £458/sqf, the £650,000 asking price sits slightly above the local £445/sqf average. All-in costs look tight against local benchmarks, so buyers should be measured about the value they expect to create rather than relying on the roof-void potential.
Key opportunities
- Modernise the functional but older-style kitchen to suit your taste.
- Refresh the dated bathroom finishes while retaining a practical layout.
- Explore the large rear roof void as a possible way to expand the first-floor accommodation, subject to feasibility and permissions.
