Description
The Conifers is a detached, former residential care home positioned within Seal Square in central Selsey, West Sussex. Formerly registered for 20 residents, the home ceased trading in March 2023. It is located within a residential area, close to the town’s amenities and the coast.
Accommodation within The Conifers is arranged to provide resident bedrooms with associated shared facilities and communal living/dining areas typical of a medium-sized care setting. The layout historically supported older adults, including those living with dementia or mental health conditions, within a domestic-style environment prior to closure.
Gull Rock, the adjoining six bedroom residential building, was used as staff accommodation. Together, the two buildings present an opportunity for complementary use or asset management strategies, subject to the necessary consents.
Externally, the property sits within a predominantly residential suburb in central Selsey, benefitting from proximity to local services, shops, healthcare, and community facilities, with the coastline and open spaces nearby.
Located in central Selsey, The Conifers sits within the quiet residential area of Seal Square, just moments from local shops and amenities. The town’s coastal setting provides easy access to beaches, coastal walks and open green spaces.
Selsey offers a good range of everyday facilities including supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and medical services, with further extensive amenities available in Chichester, around eight miles north. Chichester also provides major retail options, cultural attractions and direct rail links to London, Brighton and Portsmouth.
Road access is via the B2145, connecting Selsey to Chichester and the A27 for routes across the South Coast. Nearby coastal towns such as Pagham and Bognor Regis offer additional leisure opportunities.
This central Selsey position, combined with strong transport links and access to local and regional services, makes The Conifers a well located opportunity within this sought after area of West Sussex.
Ground Floor:
Entrance area, two lounges, dining room, kitchen, four bedrooms and supporting service areas.
Upper Floors:
A further 11 bedrooms, together with shared bathroom facilities and a staff office. A passenger lift serves the main floors of the building.
Gull Rock (Adjoining Building):
A separate six‑bedroom residential property, historically used as staff accommodation, providing additional ancillary space with potential for a range of future uses (subject to the necessary consents).
The Conifers benefits from a small car park to the front of the property, providing convenient access for visitors and staff. To the rear, the property features a substantial garden, offering outdoor space that was previously used by residents and has the potential to be enhanced for future use. The outdoor areas provide a mix of practical access and amenity space suitable for a range of operational or redevelopment purposes.
The OpportunityThe Conifers presents an opportunity for an elderly care or specialist care operator to acquire a closed 20 bed facility with the potential for refurbishment or re opening. The internal configuration, including multiple communal spaces and lift access, may support a range of residential or specialist care services following modernisation and regulatory approvals.
In addition, the adjoining six bed property, Gull Rock, provides further flexibility. Historically used as staff accommodation, it offers potential for reinstated staffing use, integration into a wider operational model, or alternative ancillary functions, subject to the necessary consents.
Alternatively, the combined site may lend itself to conversion for alternative care use, supported living, or residential redevelopment, subject to planning permission. The two linked buildings and generous external space provides scope for a variety of future uses depending on purchaser requirements.
