Shore Road, East Wittering, PO20

A detached, characterful beachfront house, with a large rear garden and a rare, additional detached garden with direct gated access onto the beach. The property enjoys wide-reaching coastal views

The Old Farmhouse has remained in the same family ownership for many years and occupies a particularly convenient position at the beach end of Shore Road, on the parish boundary with West Wittering, ideally placed for immediate beach access and the local shops and amenities of East Wittering village.

The well-proportioned accommodation is arranged over two floors and retains a wealth of period character, with several rooms enjoying sea-facing aspects. Original features include fireplaces, stripped pine doors and exposed wooden floors in some rooms. The house is now in need of internal updating, offering an excellent opportunity to modernise and enhance while preserving its inherent charm. Three first-floor bedrooms benefit from sea views, with outlooks east across the bay toward Selsey and south toward the Eastern Solent and the Isle of Wight.

A spacious entrance hall leads to the principal reception rooms, including a sitting room, a dining room with beamed ceiling and part-panelled staircase, and a farmhouse-style kitchen with sunroom beyond. The ground floor also provides a triple-aspect study, cloakroom, a separate family bathroom with bath and shower, and an enclosed side porch.

On the first floor are four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with walk-in dressing room and en-suite bathroom, together with three further double bedrooms, two with washbasins, and a separate WC.

Outside, there is a smaller front garden and a particularly large, mature rear garden, partly walled and mainly laid to lawn, with covered storage, a timber summer house and a detached brick-built garage with vehicular access from Longlands Road. To the front of the house, beyond the public footpath and adjoining Bookers Green, is a separate detached garden with direct gated access onto the beach.
