Smugglers Lane, Bosham, Chichester, West Sussex, PO18

On Smugglers Lane, bordering Furzefield Creek, a delightful detached house, with scope for extension, standing in beautiful cottage gardens.

Rest Harrow is a charming property offering excellent and attractively presented accommodation that includes a generous drawing room, with doors to the gardens, and a lovely dining room that is open to the bright and sunny kitchen / breakfast room. A useful study could form a fourth bedroom, if required. Each of these rooms has a pretty aspect looking over the gardens and to the rear, across the fields to the South Downs.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite includes a dressing room and a bathroom, and, in addition to the two further double bedrooms and family bathroom, it should be noted that there is extensive loft space with good ceiling height which could (subject to consent) provide further bedroom space.

The gardens at Rest Harrow are particularly lovely and have been carefully planted and tended over the years. They include a wide variety of mature trees, shrubs and climbing plants, as well as a plethora of spring bulbs and herbaceous borders, a pretty pond, raised vegetable beds and several areas for sitting and enjoying the vista. To the front, a gravelled driveway provides plenty of parking space and leads to the garage.

Smugglers Lane borders the waters of Chichester Harbour, and nearby Bosham is well known for its charming Saxon Church, The Anchor Bleu pub, several cafes, and restaurants, an hotel and its thriving sailing club. Local shopping facilities for everyday items are available just north of the village, and there are miles of public footpaths to be enjoyed around the Harbour. The Ferry that runs between Bosham and Itchenor can be summoned from a footpath off Smugglers Lane.

Bosham has a railway station offering connecting coastal services to Havant ( London Waterloo) and Chichester (London Victoria). Goodwood, about 6 miles to the north east, is renowned for its horse racing and motoring events and has a good Spa and a highly regarded Golf Club. Chichester, with its ancient Cathedral, offers a wider variety of shops, restaurants, galleries and the well-known Festival Theatre.
