Description

This property is set on an expansive 0.35-acre plot, conveniently located within walking distance of the renowned West Wittering beach and the local sailing club. It benefits from a serene coastal setting, making it a promising investment opportunity in a desirable area. The ground floor features a practical boot room/utility area, which leads into a kitchen/breakfast room that offers ample space for culinary activities. The dining room is filled with character, complete with an open fireplace that adds to the home's charm. The entrance hall opens into a spacious living/dining area, highlighted by an impressive inglenook fireplace and an additional staircase leading to the upper level. There is versatility in the layout with a downstairs office or potential fifth bedroom equipped with an en-suite shower room and WC. Additional spaces include another office or potential bedroom, as well as a larder and hallway providing access to the garden. On the first floor, you'll find essential amenities including a WC and family bathroom alongside the principal bedroom, which offers generous space and comfort. Two further double bedrooms are situated at one end of the house, accessible by the second staircase. There’s also a smaller double bedroom that could function as a walk-in wardrobe, along with another double bedroom for guests or family. Outside, the property boasts a substantial garden predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by a generous patio area, raised garden beds, and mature trees that enhance privacy. The outbuildings—consisting of a shed, sizable garage, and former air raid shelter—present additional options for conversion or development (subject to necessary planning permissions). A side driveway allows for off-road parking accommodating multiple vehicles, while an enclosed front garden defined by brick walls adds curb appeal. With all mains services connected—including electricity, gas, water, and drainage—and situated within Chichester District Council's jurisdiction under Council Tax Band G and Energy Rating Band D guidelines, this property not only provides immediate comfort but also significant potential for renovation or expansion in one of the area's most sought-after locations.
