A Fine Coastal Residence Offering Flexible Family Living And Extensive Gardens

Rigates is an impressive detached residence offering more than 7,500 sq ft of adaptable accommodation in a peaceful West Sussex village close to the coast. The property, which offers scope for refurbishment and modernisation, provides bright, generous interiors with the flexibility to serve as a single extensive family home, as multi-generational living or two self-contained dwellings.

The ground floor is arranged into two adjoining wings, linked by internal doors but each with its own private entrance. The east wing opens to a welcoming hallway that leads to a magnificent 37ft drawing room featuring an exposed stone wall, open fireplace and dual aspect. Further rooms include a formal dining room with French doors to the garden, and a light-filled breakfast room with vaulted ceiling and skylights, adjoining the kitchen fitted with wooden units, a central island, Aga and integrated appliances. The first floor provides two double bedrooms, including the principal suite with an en suite bathroom, while a further double bedroom with balcony is found on the top floor overlooking the gardens and grounds.

The main front entrance opens to the second wing, where the hallway leads to a sitting room and a striking open-plan kitchen and reception space, ideal for family living or entertaining. Bi-fold doors to both the front and rear terraces fill the room with natural light, and the kitchen is fitted with wood cabinetry and modern appliances.

Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms, two with en suite facilities, alongside a family bathroom and separate WC. A further bedroom occupies the second floor, and an internal door links the two wings to provide a versatile overall layout.
