Description

This three-bedroom terraced house, originally built in the 1960s, is located in a quiet cul-de-sac surrounded by similar residences. The property presents a compelling opportunity for those looking to invest in a home that requires renovation and modernization. With a little vision and effort, it can be transformed into a comfortable space tailored to your preferences. Situated conveniently between the charming villages of East Wittering and Bracklesham Bay, this location offers easy access to local amenities and scenic beachfronts. The nearby recreation field features facilities such as the Witterings and District Bowls Club, providing options for leisure right at your doorstep. Additionally, the beach is just 300 meters away, while public transport is readily available with a bus stop within 150 meters. Inside, the layout includes an entrance porch leading into a living/dining area that features open-tread stairs with an electric stairlift—a practical addition for multi-generational living or future accessibility needs. The kitchen comes equipped with essential appliances and storage solutions but would benefit from modern updates to enhance its functionality. A rear porch/conservatory opens into an enclosed garden space that offers privacy and potential for landscaping or outdoor entertaining. On the first floor, you will find three bedrooms of varying sizes, each presenting opportunities for reconfiguration according to your design ideas. The shower room has undergone some updates but could be further improved for contemporary styling. Outside, the front garden is modestly laid to lawn, while the rear garden provides access to a pedestrian path leading to an off-site garage situated in a nearby compound—an added convenience for storage or parking. This property is connected to mains water, electricity, and drainage services. There’s also a minimal yearly charge for maintaining shared access roads and communal green spaces, currently estimated at £60. For those with an eye for investment potential or willing to undertake renovations, this house represents a unique opportunity in a desirable coastal area. Viewing arrangements can be made through our office.
