Description

Freehold Coastal Land for Sale in Selsey, West Sussex

Freehold coastal land for sale in Selsey, West Sussex — a substantial 2,704 sqm seafront plot with significant redevelopment potential, guide price £35,000. Lot 90 offers a rare chance to secure freehold investment land on one of Selsey's most sought-after roads.

The Location

Situated at Beacon Drive, Selsey, Chichester PO20 0TW, this plot sits on a sought-after seafront road with direct access to Selsey's beaches and open sea views. It's within easy reach of Selsey's high street, shops and restaurants, and close to Medmerry and Pagham Harbour nature reserves — a genuine draw for buyers searching for coastal land near nature reserves in West Sussex. Bracklesham Bay, the Witterings and Chichester are all close by, adding to the area's appeal for both investors and lifestyle buyers.

The Land

This freehold plot measures approximately 2,704 sqm (STMS) and is offered with vacant possession under title number SK43119. It falls within Chichester District's "Hold The Line" coastal policy area, and — subject to the necessary planning consents — may suit future beach hut or leisure development in keeping with Selsey's established coastal character. Buyers should note the site has attracted interest from the local authority and community regarding potential coastal defence improvements; full details are set out in the legal pack.

Investment Potential

For anyone searching for freehold land for sale in Selsey or investment land in Chichester, this plot combines a low entry point with long-term redevelopment upside, subject to consent. Local families are well served by Selsey Academy, Seal Academy and Medmerry Primary School, reinforcing the area's appeal beyond pure investment.
