The details

Imagine waking up to the sound of waves lapping against the shore, stepping onto your private balcony and gazing out across the sparkling sea. At The Little Lookout, this is all part of the experience. Perched right on Littlehampton's seafront, this extraordinary former coastguard tower offers a wonderfully romantic escape, with beautiful interiors, breathtaking coastal views and the beach just footsteps from your front door.

Built in 1931 and once used to keep watch over the Sussex coast during the Second World War, this quirky four-storey retreat has been lovingly transformed into a luxurious seaside hideaway. A striking spiral staircase connects the floors, each revealing another beautifully designed space and a different perspective of the coastline.

On the ground floor, you'll discover a stylish bespoke kitchen, complete with handmade plywood cabinetry, stone worktops, a gorgeous gold Lusso Stone sink and a breakfast bar for two. With everything you need to prepare delicious meals, including a coffee machine, it's a lovely spot to start your morning before heading out to explore.

Climb to the first floor and you'll find a stunning marble bathroom, featuring a spacious walk-in shower and a luxurious freestanding bath. Sink into the bubbles and admire the sea and river mouth through the window. It's a wonderfully indulgent way to unwind after a day on the beach.

The second floor is home to a cosy double bedroom, where doors open onto a private balcony overlooking the water. Drift off to the gentle sound of the waves and wake to glorious coastal views without even leaving your bed.

At the very top, a light-filled living and dining room boasts vaulted ceilings, comfortable seating and another fabulous balcony. Pour yourself a glass of wine, watch the boats passing by and enjoy a spectacular seaside sunset. There's even a pair of binoculars for a spot of boat watching. The sofa bed can also accommodate two children or one additional adult, making this a lovely little escape for a small family too.

When you're ready to explore, Littlehampton's East Beach promenade is right outside. Enjoy beachside cafés, traditional fish and chips, watersports and leisurely strolls along the coast. Discover the dunes of West Beach, visit nearby Mewsbrook Park or venture further afield to historic Arundel and Chichester. Whether you're seeking seaside adventures or simply somewhere special to watch the waves, The Little Lookout is a coastal retreat you won't forget.
