Kestrel, in West Wittering, is designed to make the most of the light and the fine views towards the coast and the South Downs. The contemporary property, designed by Adam Knibb architects is currently on the market via Strutt & Parker at a guide price of £2 million.
An open-plan living space occupies the first floor, which is glazed to take in the panorama; some panels slide to give seamless access to two outside spaces—a 21ft-wide balcony and a roof terrace that’s a perfect place to watch the sun rise.
But perhaps the best place to relax and enjoy the surroundings is the second floor’s Sky Room, which has a triangular apex window looking out towards the coast.
A glass bridge links this bedroom to its dressing room and bathroom. Three more bedrooms are situated on the ground floor.
