The sitting room sets the scene for quiet evenings, while the snug offers an additional space to retreat with a book or conversation away from the main hub.

The bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged to suit a mix of guests, with a ground-floor king-size room complete with an adjacent shower room/WC, along with another king-size and a single upstairs.

A freestanding bath in the main bathroom brings a touch of character, echoing the property’s sense of history while offering a place to pause after days spent outdoors.

Outside, the enclosed courtyard blends decking and gravel, creating a flexible space for fresh air dining or simply enjoying the coastal atmosphere, with room for two well-behaved pets to join in the experience.

Selsey itself is known for its shoreline setting, where stretches of beach and sea views shape each day.
