Large freehold plot roughly 0.7 acres with redevelopment potential
Detached 4-bed, 1-bath traditional thatched cottage on site
No flood risk; village location with local amenities nearby

Local crime level recorded as high — consider security needs
Council tax described as expensive — ongoing cost to budget for
Comfortable suburbia demographic; nearby schools rated Good to Outstanding
Property likely requires modernisation and may need planning consent
This property offers a clear development opportunity on a very large, roughly 0.7-acre freehold plot in Shripney, Bognor Regis. At present there is a detached 4-bedroom, 1-bathroom traditional cottage with thatched roof and extensive garden; the house presents either refurbishment potential or scope for redevelopment subject to planning. Its rural, village setting and generous grounds are the primary value drivers for buyers seeking space or a site for a new build.
The location sits within a comfortable suburbia and older-worker/retirement demographic, with a mix of state and independent schools rated Good to Outstanding within easy reach. Local amenities include pubs, a hotel, bus links and tourism facilities, supporting short supply-demand for local services. Flood risk is reported as none.
Material considerations are straightforward and should factor into budget and timescale: broadband speeds are very slow, mobile signal is only average, and local crime is recorded as high. Council tax is described as expensive. The existing dwelling appears characterful but will likely need modernisation and services upgrading; purchasers should allow for renovation costs, potential planning requirements and due diligence on structural, asbestos or thatch insurance issues.
This site will suit developers, investors or buyers seeking a prominent plot with rural character close to amenities. Its strengths are plot size, freehold tenure and picturesque cottage character; its drawbacks are infrastructure limitations and local crime levels. Detailed surveys and pre-application planning advice are recommended before committing.
