Hebrides The Parkway, Rustington, Littlehampton, BN16 2BS

£700,000

A beautifully presented Art Deco House, constructed in 1936 and originally known as ‘Sea Horses’. The property was designed in the shape of a grand piano for the famous composer George Posford who wrote 'Good Night Vienna' among many others, and we understand was regularly frequented by Noel Coward and the film star Renee Ray.

The Piano House has been sympathetically restored to a high standard, particular features include; Canadian maple flooring, original curved metal framed picture windows, the original piano ‘stage’, a marble fireplace, refitted kitchen/breakfast room and gas fired central heating. The house sits on a good plot, located less than 50 yards from the beach, with direct sea views from a number of rooms and a 60’ sun balcony. There is a delightful landscaped ‘country style’ garden, with mature well stocked borders and a highly productive fruit garden.

Sea Avenue is a tree lined road located on the Private Sea Estate, to the south end is the foreshore with seafront greensward. Rustington’s comprehensive village centre can be found within less than a mile with a wide range of shops, Waitrose supermarket, library and doctors’ surgeries all close to hand.

Rustington is centrally situated on the West Sussex Coast almost midway between the cathedral city of Chichester and Brighton. The village is located on the A259 providing good links to the neighbouring towns of Littlehampton, Bognor Regis and Worthing. Angmering mainline railway station provides a regular service to Gatwick Airport and London Victoria (approx. 90 minutes).
