Description from owner

Description

Electric cycles or scooter are not allowed.

With extensive sea views, this modern 5 bedroomed refurbished townhouse offers light and airy holiday accommodation. Ideally located opposite the green and overlooking the clean shingle beach, children's playground with skateboard area and BMX track, duck pond and public slipway, the local shops and pub are just a 5 minute walk away.

Accommodation consists of a self contained ground floor flat which would be suitable for persons of impaired mobility (or for a family). There is a stairlift to the first floor. This has a double bed and also a kitchenette, TV, DVD and CD player. There is a further twin bedroom, a shower room with basin and WC and access to the conservatory. The garden is very sunny and completely enclosed with a Summerhouse which has power; garden furniture including parasols and a BBQ are provided.

The first floor has a fully equipped kitchen including a double oven, gas hob and microwave. There is a large L-shaped lounge/dining room with a picture window leading onto a furnished balcony with stunning sea views. Both the dining table and the lounge have seating for 10 people. The lounge has a TV, DVD, music system and a surround sound speaker system.

The upper floor has a Master Bedroom with sea views which has a King size 4 poster bed. Also on this floor is a twin bedroom, a bunkroom (beds suitable for adults too) with sea views and a full bathroom with separate shower enclosure.

There is off road parking for 2 cars with plenty of on road parking right outside the house.

If you are into deep sea fishing our good friend 'Mac' McLaughlin runs 2 charter fishing boats out of Chichester Marina and is available for your fishing party. Mac has over 20 years of fishing experience and knows all the good marks. Details in the house.

A five minute walk will bring you to the local pub and all the shops you could want e.g. bakery, butcher, greengrocer, a very good Fish and Chip Shop and Off Licence. There are also fresh fish shops which sell locally caught fish, crab and lobster. Close by are Pagham Nature Reserve, SSSI, the cathedral city of Chichester with theatre, pedestrianised shopping, leisure centre, Goodwood and Fontwell racecourses, Butlins at Bognor Regis, The South Downs, and Portsmouth with day trips to the Isle of Wight.

The Village itself has many restaurants and pubs, all of which are very acceptable with their individual character. There is also a Health Club with all the attendant facilities available. Selsey is very much an unspoiled village with it's unique community spirit - dogs are welcome almost everywhere and facilities for the elder person are very much catered for. For the younger generation there are clubs (in season) at the Bunns Leisure Centre and at other times close by. Or you could just lie on one of the many beaches!

If you want to leave the car for a trip to Chichester or beyond there is a bus service every 15 minutes from the village. The nearest bus stop is less than a 5 minute walk from the house.

Further details

We supply a welcome pack, and you will also be greeted on arrival and shown round the house. There is a comprehensive guide for the house with useful phone numbers and details of the local area with pamphlets for the attractions nearby.Up to two well behaved pets are accepted but there is an additional charge of £26 to cover for carpet cleaning etc as we do have guests who have an allergic reaction to animals. The only other consideration we have is for our neighbours. The area is renown for its tranquility so if you have a party please bear this in mind.

Further details indoors

All bed linen, towels, gas and electricity are included. The master kitchen is very well equipped including a double oven, gas hob, juicer and microwave. There is also a washer/dryer and the garden is fully enclosed. The downstairs flat has a fully equipped kitchenette (fridge/freezer, microwave, Baby Belling, kettle) and although there have been no modifications it is suitable for persons of limited mobility with access to the shower room, conservatory and garden. There is a stairlift to the first floor. The garden has a BBQ, garden furniture for 12 including tables and parasols, and garden friendly crockery and cutlery is available. The house is very sunny with the balcony getting the sun for your morning coffee or lunch, and the garden all day.

“Amazing- perfect UK getaway”

Reviewed 26 Jul 2021

Just come back from a week away and we had a fantastic time. Property in an ideal location,literally a 2 minute walk to the pebble Selsey beach. 15 minute walk into the town centre. It consists of a high street but lots of varieties of shops and 2 co-ops. There is an Asda on the way into Selsey as well. Lots of places to eat and drink. We loved Lal bar- Mediterranean cuisine and lovely cocktails. There were 11 places to drink (not that we were counting) and this included the Crab Pot, a micro pub which served an usual collection of ales and ciders, as well as gin, wine etc. Selsey is an ideal place to have as a base if you want to visit surrounding areas. We went to Chichester and Bognor for days out and also visited East and West Wittering. We were blessed with the weather so had plenty of beach days. There is a burger shack at the end of the street - 1 minute walk away and this is ideally placed next to a skate park. The house was great for all ages. Ideal home from home accommodation. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend it.

“Perfect Christmas house!”

Reviewed 28 Dec 2019

Superb house for our large family Christmas, particularly the stairlift which enabled my 91 year old mother to join in with everything. The house was dressed perfectly for Christmas with all the extras needed for our family of 3 children and 5 adults. Location was brilliant too, being able to watch the sunrise on Christmas morning from the balcony and to take the children to the nearby park and along the sea front. Will certainly visit again - maybe in the summertime when we can explore more.
