An estate agent is set to be flooded with interest for a £500,000 ultra-modern sea front home on stilts.

The two-bedroom property located in Osprey Quay, West Sussex, boasts an open-plan kitchen, deckhouse and a balcony with stunning views.

A spacious master bedroom awaits inside with an elevated design offering panoramic vistas from the comfort of the balcony.

The exterior has a modern white lined paneling which contrasts the steel grey support beams.

Home-owners would enter the property through the door and staircase hidden away in the property's base.

One home hunter who loved the property said: 'The perfect place to unwind and soak up the coastal surroundings.'

But the closeness to the water and the potential flood risks it poses, have meant the home was built on stilts.

The flood risk summary for part of the site has a high risk of flooding between 2036 and 2069.

It reads: 'Low-lying areas that are close to rivers or the sea are more likely to flood when water levels rise.

'This information takes into account any flood defences.'

The quirky home which sits near the River Ems which runs into the English Channel, is being sold by Gascoigne-Pees estate agents.

A spokesperson said: 'Escape to the tranquillity of coastal living with this delightful two-bedroom deckhouse.

'Offering stunning sea views and a wonderfully peaceful setting, this charming home is the perfect retreat for those seeking relaxation by the water.

'The well-presented accommodation comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom, and bright, open-plan living spaces designed to make the most of the surrounding views.

'Large windows fill the home with natural light, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere throughout.'

The home comes with parking and access to a communal garden space shared with other residents.

12 Osprey Quay is situated in a prime location close to Emsworth's harbour, shops, cafés and restaurants.

The area is well known for its coastal walks and mill ponds, and is well placed for trips to Chichester’s Festival Theatre and Portsmouth’s Historic Dockyard.

But not everyone has been won over by the design, with the property mocked online for its unusual appearance.

One home hunter criticised the property and said it resembled a 'Portakabin on stilts.'

Another said: 'Detached property? Yeah, a detached shipping container.'

While a third commented: 'Any home has a sea view if you raise it high enough on stilts.'
