Limewash Walls and Restored Period Features in a Calm English Home

In the center of Shoreham-by-Sea’s conservation area in West Sussex stands this beautifully restored house with limewash walls and period features. The former bank was built in 1880, and the current owners carefully restored the house, collaborating with local restoration experts to bring out its original Victorian period features.

Throughout the house, the walls have been limewashed, fine wooden floorboards fitted, and light-colored furnishings added to create serene, light-filled spaces that make you feel right at home.

From the hallway, sliding doors open into the open-plan living space, which stretches the full length of the house. Light comes in from two directions, from the tripartite bay window at the front to the French doors at the back of the house.

The sitting room is centered around a cream log burner. A large jute rug compliments the natural decorating scheme of limewash walls and wooden floorboards.

The kitchen is located at the back of the house. The row of green-painted cabinets is paired with an oak countertop and a Rangemaster with an induction hob. The island is fitted with a modern micro cement worktop.

On the other side of the kitchen are built-in cabinets with glass cabinet doors used as a pantry and to hide the white goods.

The beautiful hall is divided into two areas with gorgeous, intricate arched wooden double doors.

The master bedroom lies at the front of the plan and features a large bay window with a window seat and an en suite bathroom.

The master suite bathroom has a small freestanding bath standing under the sash window and a reclaimed marble sink.

The third bedroom on this floor has its own balcony and a tiny en suite bathroom with a shower.

The house has a walled garden, that can be accessed via the kitchen French doors. It features a reclaimed brick and cobble terrace with a lawned area and a maple tree.

The house is listed for £1,100,000 at Inigo.
