Set on approximately 0.23 acres with one of the widest frontages on East Bracklesham Drive, this detached five-bedroom home occupies a genuine seafront position with direct private access to Bracklesham Bay. The existing house provides a substantial, flexible footprint and currently operates as a successful Airbnb, offering immediate income while longer-term plans are considered.
The plot’s principal attraction is its redevelopment potential. The site is a blank canvas for a sensitive remodel or striking new-build (subject to planning permission, STPP). Sweeping sea views, generous plot depth and space for substantial extension make this a rare opportunity to create a contemporary coastal residence or a higher-value asset to maximise rental returns.
Buyers should note material constraints: the house dates from the 1930s–1940s and has cavity walls with no confirmed insulation, EPC rated E, and council tax at Band E. There is no specific planning consent in place — any rebuild or major alteration will require formal planning approval. These factors mean renovation or redevelopment costs should be budgeted into purchase plans.
Practical benefits include gated off-street parking with room for boats or watercraft, mains gas heating and fast broadband. The location places you close to East Wittering village amenities, Chichester and Goodwood events, while providing direct access to watersports and quieter stretches of beach outside peak summer crowds.
