5 bedroom detached house for sale

The Aldwick Bay private estate was created in the late 1920s to provide a safe and tranquil residential setting with access to the privately owned beach. Originally designed to provide city dwellers the perfect coastal escape, the estate has become one of the most desirable areas to reside along this coastal stretch. The annual estate charge is £250.00 p.a. (2023 - 2024).

This particular property is one of the earlier, larger detached dwellings, constructed in the early 1930s and retains a wealth of features from its original build. The estate itself offers tree lined roads, a delightful mix of authentic architecture and beautifully tended common areas with walkways providing access to the private beach, which is now an area of Special Scientific Interest.
