Stairs from the sitting room rise to the first-floor landing with airing cupboard. There are 4 double bedrooms, the master bedroom having a double wardrobe and an ensuite cloakroom with low level WC and wash hand basin.

LOCATION:

The property sits in a semi-rural location but is within easy reach of Bosham village, Fishbourne and the cathedral city of Chichester.

Bosham benefits from a couple of Co-op convenience stores, a doctors’ surgery, bus services to Chichester and Emsworth, and a train station providing services to Portsmouth, Chichester, and London Victoria. This much sought-after village is also home to a popular primary school, an ancient Grade-I-listed church, several pubs, cafes, and a thriving sailing club.

Chichester lies just 3 miles to the east and offers excellent high-street shopping, many fashionable restaurants, cafes and bars, a leisure centre with swimming pool, sports clubs and cinemas, and is home to the Pallant House Gallery and the renowned Festival Theatre.

Located to the north is the Goodwood Estate, which is famous for its many sporting event days, including the much-celebrated Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival, for motor racing enthusiasts, and a season of horse racing that includes the Glorious Goodwood Festival. The South Downs National Park is within easy reach, offering many miles of footpaths and bridleways for rambling and horseriding, whilst the Blue Flag sandy beach at West Wittering and the National Trust’s East Head sand dune spit at the stunning entrance to Chichester Harbour can be found about 10 miles to the south.
