New Sussex Omaze draw

[NewAgeNewMe]

New house! Gorgeous
but I’m still sad I didn’t get the London house. This one I’m not so sure about not that I’ve much chance of winning!

Agree. My Grandmother had MND and it is such a devastating condition, her mind was ferociously agile till the end but she was absolutely unable to move. So cruel.

Yes I think the worst disease you can have. A young mum in my son’s class died of it. So incredibly cruel.

All that glass! I get that a sea view is fabulous, but seagull-crap on the windows is less so.

This is far from my favourite so far. I much prefer the older ones, too, and Sussex is a long way from home, so I would have a big holiday there and sell up.

Sandgate House, East Preston
There is a video of the property before it had the Omaze makeover

Sold for £825k in 2012!! I thought my valuation of £2.5m was a bit of a low ball one but maybe not…

I'm guessing that was before a lot of work was done though?

But yes, I'm very sure this is overvalued.

Hahaha!!! Google Littlehampton, Clymping (or Climping), Rustington, East Preston, Ferring...
I've moved away from there. It's gone from villages to a joined up commuter belt. The roads used to be a pain but, now, its one traffic jam. All the time.
Omaze, really??? Have you actually tried to use the A27???

It was very different in 2012. There was a major reconfiguration project on the property a few years ago.

I love that stretch of coastline! I might actually enter the competition for the first time ever …

Sussex traffic is an absolute nightmare, that would put me off tbh.

shame, it was lovely and I’d walked past it a couple of months ago without even realising.

It’s pretty much the sunniest part of the UK.

It’s right on the beach. They really do have £3 million to £4 million price tags.

East Preston is very posh. Not the easiest place to travel to and from, that whole stretch of the A259 has become a traffic black spot, but a gorgeous house and location nonetheless!

I’m very happy as this is running distance to my parents house! Wont have to stay in hotels when we visit them any more

Omaze had buy combined Cotswold and Sussex tickets so I have. On reflection I think I’d prefer the Cotswold one.

Not sure about @DarenP , but I found it from the local train station that was mentioned in the Omaze listing.

Vaguely exciting news.... (Unless it's already been shared up thread)... I got bored and had a Rightmove browse and I think the property next door to the omaze house is for sale....

Sorry, I would share a link instead of a photo but my phone is being weird!

It does look like it’s next door - suspect it’s a strong candidate for being knocked down and rebuilt.

Agreed re rebuild! And thank you for linking!

Bit stressed now about how long I am going to have building noise when I move in to the omaze house

Thank you for the link. £1.4 for a house that needs refurbishment.

I think you’re essentially buying a front line plot on which to build your contemporary concrete and glass box.

It’s an interesting section of coast though - between there and the Witterings (popular with the big names) there’s a real mix of properties. I like to spot the ones that are still converted old railway carriages.

I was gutted I didn’t win the London house. I was going to sell it to buy two houses, one for me & one for my daughter. She was going to get lodgers in. We had it all planned. Congratulations to the winner. 🤨

I wasn’t a fan of the last Cotswolds house. Not the same magic.

I’m thinking how much maintenance that house in Sussex will need. Seaside houses always do. Is it a flood risk?

According to the Gov flood risk website it’s not a sea flood risk.

I’d suspect that the beach in front might get a good scouring in a big storm though.
