5 bed detached house for sale

Coastal Road, East Preston BN16

Kingston Rocks is an exceptional beachfront residence occupying a commanding position on one of Sussex’s most prestigious private marine estates. Designed to maximise its uninterrupted views across the English Channel, this remarkable home combines striking contemporary architecture with sophisticated coastal living.

Offering five bedrooms, five bathrooms and three reception rooms, the property has been meticulously designed so that the sea takes centre stage throughout. Beautifully landscaped gardens provide a series of private terraces, Mediterranean-inspired planting and direct access onto the greensward and beach beyond.

The impressive entrance hall immediately sets the tone, with a statement cantilevered staircase and leads to all principal rooms.

At the heart of the home is the outstanding open-plan kitchen, breakfast and living space. Multiple sets of sliding doors frame the spectacular seascape and open directly onto the south-facing terrace, creating a seamless connection between the house, gardens and coastline. The bespoke kitchen is beautifully appointed with an extensive range of high-end integrated appliances, striking work surfaces and a substantial central island with breakfast bar.

Adjoining this space is an elegant formal dining room, providing a more intimate setting for entertaining. The ground floor also includes a generous bedroom suite with stylish shower room, a separate cloakroom and a comprehensive utility room.

The first-floor sitting room is another highlight, featuring a Barbas wood-burning fire and opening onto an impressive south-facing balcony. From here, panoramic views extend across the English Channel towards the Isle of Wight, creating an exceptional setting in which to relax and enjoy the coastal outlook.

The principal bedroom suite has been designed to make the most of its beachfront position, with sliding doors opening directly onto the sea-facing balcony. A dedicated dressing area and luxurious en-suite bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath, create a superb private retreat. Four further bedrooms, three beautifully appointed bathrooms are arranged across the first and second floors.

Kingston Rocks also incorporates an impressive specification of modern technology, including a Mechanical Heat Recovery Ventilation system, Thomas Sanderson electric blinds, solar panels currently generating an income of approximately £4,500 per annum, and integrated Sonos speakers within the principal open-plan living space.

Outside, the landscaped grounds are a defining feature of the property. Architectural and Mediterranean-style planting provides colour, privacy and structure, while a choice of expansive terraces creates exceptional spaces for entertaining and alfresco dining against the backdrop of uninterrupted sea views.

A dedicated wellness room adds another dimension to the home, incorporating a sauna and plunge pool, with bi-folding doors opening onto a private terrace ideally suited to yoga and relaxation. Elsewhere within the grounds is a sunken seven-seater hot tub and an impressive garden pod positioned to capture far-reaching views across the water.

Perhaps most importantly, the gardens provide direct access onto the greensward and beach beyond, placing swimming, paddleboarding and a host of water sports quite literally on the doorstep.

To the front, a substantial carriage driveway provides extensive off-road parking, while a large storage room offers valuable additional practicality.
