Location
The Summerley Private Estate is situated on the sunny West Sussex coast in Felpham.
The English Channel is at our doorstep. Well not quite – a 1960s sea defence project sees to that – but the sea is an important facility. Two ramps allow residents to launch light boats.
The South Downs are about 10 miles to the north and provide many attractive walks and many even more attractive pubs as well as features such as ancient trails, ancient yews, Goodwood, archaeological digs, the Amberley Museum and much more. This beautiful part of southern England is a major benefit of West Sussex life.
We sit in the middle of a string of important and interesting south coast towns. Southampton and Portsmouth to the west provide the facilities of cities and, in particular, transport links – ferries to the Isle of Wight or to the Caribbean, air links from the friendly and growing Eastleigh Airport at Southampton. Chichester lies 8 miles to the north – an elegant old town name for Cissa (pronounced Chizzer) an early king of the Kingdom of the South Saxons – with its fine shopping, theatres, cathedral and general all-round culture and civility (plus Waitrose). Felpham itself is famous for …. er …. well William Blake once lived her! Littlehampton and Worthing are pleasant seaside towns to the east with cosmopolitan Brighton further to the east. London is an easy 1½ or 2 hour rail or road journey away. We understand that it too offers a few facilities.
