4 bed detached house for sale

Bay Walk, Aldwick Bay Estate, Aldwick, West Sussex PO21

Foreshore is an impressive detached house that offers almost 3,000 sq ft of spacious accommodation arranged across two light-filled floors. The property could benefit from some modernisation, but retains plenty of period character features, providing the potential to create a stunning family home, either as one large residence or as a main home with a useful annexe for guests or lodgers.
At the heart of the home lies the magnificent formal reception room, accessed through double doors from the entrance hall and showcasing a central cascading staircase, panelled walls, wooden flooring, an open fireplace and French doors leading to the rear garden.
Adjoining the reception is the well-equipped kitchen, which has fitted wooden units to base and wall level, integrated appliances and a dining area with French doors opening to the rear terrace. Additionally, the garden room benefits from a sunny south-facing aspect, panoramic windows and dual French doors.
Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to the 27ft drawing room with adjoining sun room which enjoys elevated views across the beach and out to sea.
There are four bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room, and also a family bathroom.
The self-contained cottage has a private entrance and exists completely separately from the main house, but could be incorporated into the primary residence if required. It includes a fully equipped kitchen and a well-proportioned reception room at the rear, benefitting from the property’s south-facing aspect and views towards the beach. Upstairs is a bedroom with dressing area and a bathroom. This could be reconfigured to incorporate into the main house.

At the front of the property, gates open onto the driveway, with parking space for up to two vehicles and access to the double garage for further parking.
Gated pedestrian access opens onto a central pathway which leads through the well-presented garden to the main entrance and the cottage. The garden at the front has border beds with various established shrubs and tropical palms, while at the rear, the south-facing garden extends to approximately 150ft and includes sunny patio areas across the back of the house for al fresco dining, with lawn beyond, bordered by beds with a wealth of shrubs, hedgerows and flowering perennials and with an ornamental pond at its centre.
Towards the end of the garden there is an elevated secondary lawn, with a large paved terrace area beyond, as well as a boat house with a deck above, providing direct access to the beach.

Foreshore occupies a prominent setting within the highly-favoured Aldwick Bay Estate, a prestigious, private, gated community and offers privacy and seclusion and direct access to the beach.
This is an idyllic spot for lovers of water sports and for sea-swimmers, whilst walkers can enjoy miles of shore-side rambles towards Pagham and Selsey in one direction and Felpham and Elmer in the other.
Aldwick village has a range of amenities to cater for day-to-day needs and the cathedral city of Chichester offers a broad range of amenities including the renowned Festival Theatre and Pallant House Gallery.
Leisure pursuits include walking and riding in the nearby South Downs National Park and sailing may be enjoyed from the many sailing centres around Chichester Harbour. Goodwood Estate hosts horse racing and motoring events including the Festival of Speed.
