5 Bedroom Detached House For Sale In West Sussex

Sea Way is Middleton-on-Sea’s best-kept secret, and this handsome detached residence, set behind five-bar gates and a sweeping gravel drive, has waited a long time for its moment.

Arranged with quiet confidence across two floors and circa 3,070 square feet, the house opens into a wide, versatile hallway that provides direct access to all principal rooms and sets the tone for everything beyond it. To one side, two interconnecting reception rooms run the full length of the property, a gas fireplace and a woodstove at their heart, opening through elegant patio doors onto a south-facing garden built for long afternoons.

The kitchen breakfast room is a true feature, boasting a wealth of storage units, Miele double ovens and dishwasher, and two sets of patio doors onto the same south-facing garden. A separate dining room, also garden-facing and set centrally between the sitting room and kitchen, adds a practical space for more formal occasions.

A home office overlooking the driveway, a utility room and a WC complete the practical side of seafront living.

Upstairs, five double bedrooms unfold around a central landing. The principal suite pairs a dressing room with an en suite and a small balcony with sea views that shift with the tide, while a second en suite bedroom and a family bathroom serve the remaining rooms. It is a layout built for a full household, or for guests who never quite want to leave.

Outside, the garden stretches close to 190 feet, a rare depth this close to the water, with a wooden gate opening directly onto the Greensward and, beyond it, Middleton-on-Sea’s beach. To the front, gated entry and a substantial driveway lead to a double garage, discreet enough from the road, generous once you’re through the gate.

Location

Imagine waking to the sound of the sea and stepping onto the beach before breakfast. Tides View sits within easy walking distance of Middleton-on-Sea’s village amenities, a butcher, a newsagent, a hardware store, a fish and chip shop and a farm shop among them, alongside a well-used local sports club.

Middleton-on-Sea rewards anyone who likes to be outdoors. Its network of footpaths connect to a grassy promenade running all the way from Aldwick through Felpham, while beach access on foot keeps the shoreline feeling private rather than public.

Chichester’s historic city centre is a short drive away, with its Festival Theatre and a strong choice of restaurants, and the South Downs National Park opens up beyond it for walking and riding. Goodwood, close by, brings a racecourse, golf and an airfield to the doorstep, along with the Festival of Speed and the Goodwood Revival each year. For those on the water, Chichester Harbour offers moorings, with further berthing and lifting facilities at Birdham Pool and Chichester Marina.
