Description

A house of two halves: the rear portion of Ivy House is thatched and approximately 300 years old, while the newer, red brick front elevations are roughly 180 years old. The Grade II-listed property is a very charming house on a popular West Street in Selsey, which to the west leads down to the coastguard station, a slipway and a footpath to the beach. The house is set within beautiful, very private walled gardens, which have been thoughtfully landscaped, and offer plenty of space for entertaining, growing plants and vegetables, or relaxing in warmer weather. The house internally is fantastically varied too, with a choice of four reception rooms for all occasions, and excellent natural light afforded by the tall windows to the front and rear: bay windows to the ground floor, and sash windows upstairs. From one of the bedrooms there is a view of the sea.

The stylish interiors are in keeping with the age and character of the house, incorporating original features such as fireplaces, wall panelling and exposed brick into a timeless and elegant décor scheme. The kitchen/breakfast room in particular is a highlight of the property, with an Esse Range Cooker and handmade emerald green cabinetry with wood surfaces complementing the tiled floors. A number of updates have been made by the vendor to improve the home, including the kitchen and two bathrooms, adding a wood-burning stove, new thatch and reroofing the outbuildings – all while respecting the charm and historical status of the house.

Upstairs, the five bedrooms are well proportioned, and are accompanied by a bathroom and a separate shower room.

Outside

Ivy House is set within a generous plot with gardens to the front and rear. A private driveway is accessed from Clayton Road, with large electric gates opening to an enclosed parking area which has space for several cars and access to a detached garage with WC, store and utility room, and a separate workshop/shed. The gardens are walled and have been beautifully landscaped: to the front, a cobble-topped wall borders a lawned garden with mature trees, shrubs and flowerbeds around the edges, which create a vibrant and green first impression. In addition there is a separate, high-walled kitchen garden with a greenhouse and raised planters, surrounded by a lawn. The rear garden is south-facing and is mostly lawned, though well stocked with a variety of trees and landscaped borders.

Situation

The village of Selsey is situated between the Witterings and Bognor Regis and offers plentiful day to day amenities as well as the feel of living in a fantastic beach resort setting. The historic cathedral city of Chichester is eight miles distant and has a wide variety of cultural, leisure and shopping facilities including the renowned Festival Theatre, the Pallant House Gallery and historic cathedral, as well as a variety of restaurants, wine bars and brasseries. There is a mainline railway station with services to London Victoria via Gatwick Airport (approx. 90 minutes) and the A27 provides access to Brighton to the east and Southampton to the west.
