In the north-eastern quarter you'll find an even spread of both 1970's homes (houses and bungalows) and period properties. The north-western quarter has a higher density of 1970's properties interspersed with large semi-rural homes around the perimeter. The old town lies in the South East of Selsey offering many charming and characterful properties including thatched homes built as far back as the 17th century. Drift further to the West and you'll find many sizeable secluded detached seafront homes, often with stunning uninterrupted views.
