Full description

Discreetly positioned on the highly regarded Kingston Gorse estate, Coast & Country by Henry Adams present The Dutch House — a four-bedroom coastal home of considerable charm and character, substantially rebuilt in 2010 to an exceptionally high standard. The property retains its original footprint and the relaxed, unhurried atmosphere that has made it so cherished by its current owners.

Kingston Gorse is among the most sought-after private addresses on the West Sussex coast, and The Dutch House sits comfortably within that context: a home that feels at once refined and genuinely liveable, equally well suited to peaceful retreat and lively family gatherings. The accommodation is generous and well considered.

At the heart of the house, the kitchen/breakfast room provides a natural hub for daily life, whilst the living/dining room offers relaxed, informal space with a strong sense of connection to the garden. A separate drawing room provides a comfortable space for entertaining with an adjoining snug; and the orangery, a particular feature of the property, flooded with natural light provides access to the garden throughout the changing seasons.

Four bedrooms are arranged to provide both comfort and flexibility, with two en-suite bathrooms alongside a further family bathroom. The utility/boot room with shower and two downstairs WCs speak to the practicalities of everyday coastal living. Outside, a detached double garage and generous private parking complete the offering.

The Dutch House has been a much-loved family home, a welcome retreat from London life and the setting for many happy years of family memories. That warmth is tangible throughout, and the quality of the 2010 rebuild ensures that the property now combines the best of its original character with the standards of comfort and finish expected of contemporary living.
