We are pleased to present an exceptional opportunity to rent the picturesque Duchess Cottage on a long-term basis

This enchanting three-bedroom residence is steeped in history, believed to have been originally constructed in the 1700s. Over the years, it has been thoughtfully extended and modernized, incorporating a third bedroom, a convenient utility room, and a stylish cloakroom, while still preserving its timeless charm and character.
Set within an expansive plot, this delightful period home boasts striking brick and flint elevations and is accessed via a private drive to the side, offering both seclusion and convenience.

Upon entering the property, the ground floor unfolds to reveal two inviting reception rooms, perfect for both relaxation and entertaining. The well-appointed kitchen provides a functional and elegant space for cooking, complemented by the adjacent utility room and a thoughtfully designed cloakroom.
Ascending to the first floor, you will find three beautifully presented bedrooms, each exuding charm and warmth, along with a family bathroom designed to cater to modern needs while maintaining the home’s historic essence.

Externally, the property benefits from a generously sized garden, which gracefully wraps around three sides of the cottage, offering a serene and picturesque outdoor setting. Additionally, a large tarmac driveway provides ample off-street parking, accommodating multiple vehicles with ease.

Situated on the edge of one of the most desirable villages in the region, the property enjoys close proximity to a vibrant Sailing Club, a focal point for the local maritime community. The club, easily accessible by bicycle, is ideal for those looking to participate in renowned summer events such as Itchenor Fortnight and various regattas. For boating enthusiasts, moorings may be available through The Chichester Harbour Conservancy, providing convenient access to the water.

Beyond its sailing heritage, the village offers a rich array of amenities and historical charm. A popular public house provides a welcoming atmosphere for dining and socializing, with another located nearby for additional options. The village is also home to a twelfth-century church, a testament to its deep-rooted history, as well as a well-maintained village hall that serves as a hub for community gatherings and events, fostering a strong sense of local spirit.

This rare rental opportunity combines history, charm, and modern comfort. Viewings are highly recommended to appreciate all it has to offer.
