About this listing
A detached thatched cottage 300 metres from the beach in Selsey. NO CHAIN, a third of an acre of wrap-around gardens and a separate orchard plot across the lane. Over 1,700 sq ft, a 20ft master suite, walk-in larder and a garden studio. Coastal living without the wait. There are homes that simply offer accommodation, and then there are homes that capture the essence of a lifestyle. This enchanting three bedroom detached cottage in Selsey does exactly that. With over 1700 sq. ft of accommodation, the cottage has been thoughtfully arranged to balance charm with practicality. The welcoming entrance hall, with its original oak parquet flooring, sets the tone for the home, leading into a dual aspect sitting room where natural light pours in and a fireplace provides a warm focal point. Adjoining this space, a versatile garden studio with underfloor heating offers endless possibilities. The well appointed kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, complete with a walk in larder, breakfast bar, and doors opening onto a sun trap patio. A dedicated dining room, filled with light and featuring its own fireplace, enhances the flow of the ground floor, while a utility room and cloakroom add convenience. Upstairs, the exposed oak staircase leads to a spacious landing and loft access. The master suite is a true retreat: a 20 ft bedroom with triple aspect windows and a private en suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms are generously proportioned, ideal for family, guests, or flexible use, and are served by a contemporary family bathroom with freestanding bath and elegant finishes. Gardens & Outdoor Living
Set within a generous plot of one third of an acre, the cottage is surrounded by beautifully maintained wrap around gardens. These provide ample space for outdoor activities, entertaining, or quiet relaxation. Across the private lane lies an additional orchard plot, complete with fruit trees, soft fruit canes and raised beds; a dream for those with green fingers or anyone wishing to enjoy the sea air while tending to their own produce. A summerhouse, patio and garden shed further enhance the outdoor lifestyle, while driveway parking for multiple cars and a garage with plumbed sink ensure practicality. Location
