Summer strolls along the soft sand of East Wittering beach are just a short walk away from this modern family home. Spend the day catching waves at the surf school, paddling in the shallows or simply admiring the rainbow of beach huts from the sand. The heart of East Wittering, with its fish and chip shops, seafood restaurants and trendy cafés, is just a fifteen-minute dander away too.

Back at this family bungalow, driftwood-hued cladding gives off an immediate beachy vibe. The back garden is a private suntrap where a wicker dining set sits on the astroturf and a hot tub awaits for a post-seaside soak. Heading inside, the open kitchen and living room is a social space, soothing in pebble-grey and white. There’s a second seating nook at the back of the house, perfect for a kids’ hang-out space. Plus, the playroom and bunkbed bedroom let you know this place has been designed with families in mind.
