Pack up your bucket and spades and hit the beach at this contemporary yet playful home located just a five-minute stroll from the unspoilt sandy shores of the exclusive West Wittering Estate. A home begging for an intimate group of family or friends to come together, there's ample space to all spill out here. When the sun shines, pad across the cool, polished concrete floor and slide the patio doors right back to let the sunshine in. Kick back with a morning coffee from the espresso machine on the terrace while children play in the vast lawned garden. Or join them for an impromptu game of football – there's goals ready and waiting for action. On cooler days, come together around the vast dining table and break out the home's board games – the underfloor heating will keep toes toasty. Challenge your troops to a round of table football. Or sneak away upstairs for an early evening bath in the master suite – a glass of something chilled optional. When the sea finally calls, the soft sandy shores and dunes are just five minutes away for castle making, kite flying, and, if you're lucky with the swell, surfing. Should tummies... start to rumble, there's a cafe at the beach, and the village's gastropub and coffee shop are just three minutes from your door. Or take a stroll along the coast to East Wittering (or a four-minute drive) for obligatory fish and chips on the beach.
