Tucked on Shore Road at the beach end, this substantial Victorian detached house offers rare direct gated beach access and wide sea views towards Selsey and the Isle of Wight. The house sits on a large mature plot with a detached garage, gated front garden and extensive rear lawn — an appealing canvas for family coastal living or a sympathetic restoration.
The accommodation is characterful and well proportioned: sitting room, dining room with beamed ceiling, farmhouse kitchen, sun room, a triple-aspect study and a generous entrance hall. Four first-floor bedrooms include a principal suite with walk-in dressing room and ensuite, and three bedrooms enjoy sea views. Period features such as fireplaces, stripped pine doors and exposed floors add charm.
Practical positives include off-road parking via Longlands Road, separate outbuildings and covered storage, mains gas central heating, and chain-free availability for a quick purchase. Nearby village shops, pubs and primary schools are within easy reach, while beachside amenities and coastal leisure draw a lifestyle appeal.
Buyers should note the property requires modernisation and some restoration — descriptions mention damp and an assumed lack of wall insulation in the original granite construction. Council tax is high and glazing details are undefined, so energy performance and upgrade costs should be considered. This is a substantial period home with strong location value but clear improvement commitments.
