THE COAST IS CLEAR
WEST SUSSEX
Replace the smog of the city with a great big waft of salty sea air in Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, home to a new collection of contemporary apartments and town houses (above). The Waterfront development sits on the River Adur and is a pebble’s throw from the beach, not to mention the town centre. With the coast and countryside on their doorstep, residents can take a walk on the wild side by visiting the nearby South Downs National Park and Mill Hill Nature Reserve. That bracing breeze is the perfect hangover cure, too – beats eating a banana and popping a couple of paracetamol, that’s for sure. Price: From £260,000 for a one-bedroom flat.
