6 bed semi-detached house for sale

East Ham Road, Littlehampton, West Sussex BN17

A truly impressive and deceptively spacious Edwardian family home, offering an exceptional amount of versatile accommodation arranged over four floors. Originally built in 1905, the property successfully combines a wealth of charming original period features with a programme of improvements carried out by the current vendor, making this a particularly appealing home for those seeking character, space and flexibility. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance porch leading into a spacious hallway, a generous living room with attractive bay window and doors opening into a delightful sun room, together with a separate dining room/hobbies room featuring a further bay window and fireplace. The re-fitted kitchen/breakfast room benefits from doors opening onto a raised veranda, providing an elevated outlook over the rear garden. The hallway also provides access to a covered external area, with a WC and useful storage cupboard. To the upper floors, a split-level landing provides access to six bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for a large family, home working or hobbies, together with a re-fitted family bathroom completed in 2025 and an additional shower room, replaced in 2025. A particularly appealing feature of this substantial home is the three usable basement rooms, currently utilised as a games room with double doors opening directly onto the garden, a utility room and a fantastic cinema-style room. The property is presented in very good, clean decorative order throughout, having benefited from numerous improvements by the current vendor since purchase, including full redecoration and the installation of new flooring and carpets. Despite this, the property retains an abundance of character and original period features, including sash cord windows, stained glass windows, working fireplaces and exposed floorboards, complemented by gas-fired central heating. Externally, the generous rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with raised flower beds to the sides and rear and a patio area immediately adjoining the property. To the front a driveway to the front/side provides valuable off-road parking and leads to an attached tandem-length garage. The garage is currently divided by a stud wall to create an insulated gym area, although this could readily be removed to reinstate the full length of the garage if required. The garage also benefits from direct access into the rear garden. Viewing is strongly advised to fully appreciate the exceptional space, character and versatility this impressive home has to offer.

Littlehampton is a coastal gem sheltered by the South Downs. Situated at the mouth of the picturesque River Arun, it is a charmingly individual seaside town with a distinctive maritime character. Over the past few years the town has had a revamp and is now challenging Brighton, Shoreham, Hove, Worthing and Chichester as "the place to live".

Littlehampton offers a choice of beaches. There is East Beach with its long promenade, parklands, funfair and traditional seaside fun or the unspoiled grassy sand dunes of West Beach. The River Arun divides Littlehampton’s East and West beaches with its harbour and marina. Together, the river and sea offer a range of pursuits from boating trips to deep sea fishing, scuba diving, water skiing and sailing. Other attractions include a golf course, theatre, sports centre, museum and the distinctive and award winning East Beach Café, whilst Harbour Park, an all-weather adventure village, offers family fun for all ages.
This property is situated within a short walk from Littlehampton's superb beaches and recreational facilities and the town centre with its many amenities which include a mainline station to Gatwick Airport and London Victoria, doctors, dentists, primary and junior schools and the Littlehampton Academy.

The sand dunes and West Beach form part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest (sssi), extending towards Climping village. This protected area is home to one of only three sand dune systems in West Sussex, alongside a shingle beach, a rare habitat in the UK. The soft muds and sands provide a vital food source for wintering birds, while fossil hunters may even uncover hidden treasures along the shore. On clear days, the stunning coastal views stretch as far as Bognor and the Isle of Wight, making this a truly unique and picturesque natural landscape.
