East Preston is a coastal village west of Worthing — quiet streets, a long greensward leading down to the beach, a Co-op high street, and the sort of slow-paced retired-and-family community that defines the West Sussex coast.
Free and no-obligation — a realistic figure from real local lets, not a quote to win your business.
Get a valuationEast Preston sits between Angmering and Rustington on the West Sussex coastal plain. The village runs from the A259 in the north down to the shore, with a wide greensward between the seafront road and the beach. The two halves — village proper and the seafront — feel quite different: the village centre busier and more practical, the seafront streets quieter and more characterful.
Housing is mostly inter-war and 1960s bungalows and family houses, with pockets of older houses near the village core and newer development to the north. The high street has a Co-op, a chemist, a bakery, and the East Preston Library which doubles as a community hub. East Preston Golf Club is on the western edge.

Rustington is the substantial coastal town between Worthing and Littlehampton — population around 14,000, with a proper high street, easy A259 access, and a long sandy seafront that quietly outdoes most of its neighbours.
