Complete renovation resulting in a very special and relaxing country retreat

The dream

Take a very dated house on a stunning plot and create and comfortable yet stylish home suitable for a young family’s weekend retreat.

The details

We love the indoor-outdoor kitchen dining area complete with bifold doors, lantern roof light and window seats – perfect for entertaining or family time.

Designed with family and fun in mind

This beautiful home is situated is Sidlesham close to Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve in coastal West Sussex. Randell Design Group found, completely renovated, and transformed a very tired 1960’s house into this large New England style home for a young family’s weekend getaway. They loved it so much, it has now become their forever home. The exterior has been wrapped in a mix of render and traditional Cape Cod siding accented with custom designed columns, railings, and brackets.

The interior gives a modern twist to the traditional materials and elements found in coastal homes in the Hamptons.  All the spaces on the first floor enjoy vaulted ceilings filled with natural light and expansive views.  The extensive ground floor decks and first floor balcony have been placed to maximise the far-reaching views of the Sussex countryside and sea.

25 Beautiful Homes

“On a peninsula on the Sussex Coast nestles one of England’s little-known architectural gems. It is a tiny, peaceful village, with an air of times gone by, overlooking a calm inlet of salt water, and comprising a few Georgian houses, three cottages a single pub. And behind a high hedge sits the recently completed clapboard New England-style home…with seven bedrooms, a guest annexe, more balconies and larger rooms.”
