The main residence provides a spacious layout with three reception rooms, including a first-floor living room with an integrated bar area offering sea views. The expansive, triple-aspect kitchen features a central island breakfast bar and high-end appliances from Neff, Siemens, Bosch and Caple, with a separate utility room nearby.

Outside, the property offers a south-facing garden, multiple terraces, an outdoor kitchen with an Ooni pizza oven and BBQ area, as well as a wood surround Skargards hot tub. There is also a boathouse, an outdoor shower and private gated access directly from the garden onto the pebble beach.

A detached self-contained guest studio with a bedroom and en suite bathroom sits above a double garage, which even includes a heated dog shower.

A short stroll away are the villages of East Preston and Rustington, both offering a selection of shops, cafes, eateries and wine bars.

The South Downs National Park lies just a few miles north of the house, offering walking and cycling routes including the famous South Downs Way.

Angmering station—just over one mile away from the property—provides regular, direct services to London Victoria, with journey times of around 90 minutes.

The historic market town of Arundel, with its medieval castle and high street of independent shops and restaurants, is just 7 miles away.

The seaside city of Brighton and Hove—with its cafés, bars and restaurants, famous Lanes and arts scene —is only 18 miles along the coast.

Nearby activities include golf at Angmering, Worthing, Chichester and Arundel; water sports at Littlehampton; and racing, motoring and cultural events at the famous Goodwood Estate—all within easy reach of the property.

The Omaze prize draw winner can decide to either live in the house, rent it out for a supplementary income, or sell up. Local estate agents estimate that the property could achieve a long-term rental value of approximately £6,000 per month.

The Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Sussex, will raise money for the MND Association. Motor neurone disease (MND) is a fatal, rapidly progressing neurological disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. It affects how people walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe.

Around 5,000 people are living with MND in the UK at any one time. The MND Association is the only national charity in England, Wales and Northern Ireland focused on improving access to care, research and campaigning for those people living with or affected by MND.

The partnership with Omaze is backed by actor and the MND Association Patron, Eddie Redmayne, who won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Professor Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything. Professor Hawking, who lived with motor neurone disease for much of his life, was a patron of the MND Association for many years before his death in 2018.

Eddie said: "Ten years ago I became patron of the MND Association having learnt about the devastation of motor neurone disease while researching and filming the Theory of Everything. I was struck by the brutality of MND, and how it robs so many people of a future with their families in the cruellest of ways. Every day in the UK, six people are diagnosed with MND and six people die from it.

“As the biggest charitable funder of MND research in the UK, the MND Association is working tirelessly to change this, investing in research to take us closer to effective treatments and a cure. This exciting partnership with Omaze will further the MND Association’s vital work while shining a spotlight on MND, and the needs of those affected by it".

James Oakes, President of Omaze, said: “Everyone at Omaze is thrilled to be partnering with the MND Association for our latest house draw.

“By offering this desirable property by the beach, plus £250,000 in cash, Omaze gives people the chance to win a life-changing prize, whilst also raising money for amazing charities.

“The eventual winner is free to decide what they want to do with the house. They can move in and not have to worry about any immediate costs, thanks to the £250,000 settling in money; they can rent it out, for additional income; or they can sell up and cash in to become a multimillionaire—the choice is entirely theirs!”

He added: “Our charity partners get introduced to vast new audiences that they wouldn't otherwise reach.“We’re tremendously proud that not only do we transform the lives of our winners, but the Omaze Community has also raised over £89 million for good causes across the UK.”
