Located along the bank of a military canal at Pett Level, near Hastings, The house is an ‘upside-down house’ with the living spaces and master suite on the first floor to maximise views across to the beach.

The style is developed from a local vernacular of box like timber clad buildings evident along the beach front, Horizontal elements and projecting balconies along with the timber cladding allow the building form to settle into the landscape naturally. Internally the ground floor corridors divert the flow to the first floor and away from the downstairs bedrooms giving them greater privacy.

An angled garage is linked by a covered walkway, with window seats in living spaces overlooking the main entrance. This not only creates greater security, but also helps accentuate the ‘point of arrival’ in the first-floor main living area. Heated by an air source heat pump and with a high level of insulation, SuDS system and bio disc give the house great sustainability credentials.

Currently on the market at Phillips and Stubbs, with a 3d walkaround. See this link to take a stroll through the house https://www.phillipsandstubbs.co.uk/properties/sale/pett-level/hastings/pett-level-road-pett-level-east-sussex-tn35-4eh/
