Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex

It is now a double-fronted four-bedroom home, hollowed out for modern family life, with an open-plan kitchen and sitting room, and limewashed walls. It’s all about the details: ceiling cornicing, intricate balustrades and decorative wooden doors which lead to the cellar and the original bank vault. The four bedrooms are upstairs and the main suite has a balcony overlooking the walled garden. Just a street away from the River Adur that runs through the town. £1.1m. Inigo, 020 3687 3071
