A modernist beach house on the West Sussex coast
Check AvailabilityDesigned by Patrick Gwynne in 1969 and now Grade II listed, Vista Point is one of Britain’s most remarkable holiday homes. Five bedrooms, a heated swimming pool, and a large garden with direct access to the beach — all wrapped in an iconic piece of modernist architecture, just 90 minutes from London.

The curving roofline, the wraparound balcony, the flowing interior plan — this is modernism at its most liveable.
