Description
The Property
Set on a generous plot with a capacious gravel driveway, the home enjoys a wonderful sense of seclusion, surrounded by open countryside and sweeping rural views.
A bright and spacious entrance hall with engineered oak flooring sets the tone for the home’s light and airy interior. An internal window offers a picturesque outlook to the garden and agricultural fields beyond, immediately establishing a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Double doors lead from the hall into the formal sitting room, dining room, and kitchen/breakfast room, all of which offer delightful views over the rear garden and open countryside.
The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen/breakfast room, designed with both style and function in mind. Handcrafted cabinetry is paired with elegant light Quartz worktops, while high-specification features include an electric Falcon range cooker, two dishwashers, two sinks (one with waste disposal), and generous storage. Patio doors provide direct access to the rear garden, and double-aspect windows fill the space with natural light. A beautifully crafted adjoining utility room offers additional workspace, side access, a third dishwasher, and leads to a stylish ground floor shower room.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the formal dining room benefits from a large skylight and further patio doors, enhancing the home's seamless flow and indoor-outdoor lifestyle. To the right, the sitting room is a cosy yet generous retreat, complete with a wood-burning stove and patio doors opening to the garden exposing the lovely views beyond, once again.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged around a central landing currently used as a library. The principal suite enjoys a dual aspect with far-reaching views, a modern en-suite with walk-in shower and separate bath, and a walk-in dressing room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, each designed to maximise comfort and natural light.
Outside
Midway Cottage is approached via an ample gravel driveway, providing generous parking for multiple vehicles along with plenty of turning space, ideal for family life or entertaining guests. A useful storeroom is discreetly positioned behind a roller door, perfect for housing garden tools, bicycles, or sporting equipment.
To the rear, the garden makes the most of its idyllic countryside setting. Mainly laid to lawn, it is interspersed with ornamental trees and framed by mature hedging and well-stocked flower borders, offering colour and interest throughout the seasons. At the boundary, a charming post-and-rail fence enhances the sense of openness, allowing for uninterrupted enjoyment of the expansive rural views beyond, creating a tranquil and truly picturesque outdoor retreat.
Location
Beyond the home, the lifestyle on offer is just as appealing. The nearby village of Barnham provides everyday essentials, with independent shops, pubs, restaurants, schools, and a mainline station. A short drive west leads to the cathedral city of Chichester, celebrated for its elegant Georgian streets, high-end shopping, and cultural gems such as the Chichester Festival Theatre. To the east, the historic town of Arundel offers a unique mix of antique shops, galleries, restaurants and cafés beneath the iconic Arundel castle.
The surrounding area is rich in leisure opportunities. Golf enthusiasts have a choice of excellent courses including Avisford Park, while horse racing can be enjoyed at nearby Fontwell Park and the world-renowned Goodwood Estate, host to the Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival, and Glorious Goodwood. For sailing and watersports, the harbours of Itchenor, Bosham, and Littlehampton provide superb facilities, while the golden sands of West Wittering offer an idyllic coastal retreat.
Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts will relish the proximity to the South Downs National Park, with its miles of scenic walking, cycling, and bridle paths. Whether you're drawn to the coast, the countryside, or the culture, Midway Cottage presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of West Sussex living.
