Description

This charming family residence, nestled on a generous plot of approximately 0.6 acres, presents an exceptional opportunity for those looking to invest in property with significant potential. Located near the picturesque Chichester Harbour, the home features gardens that lead down to a tidal creek, ideal for boating enthusiasts and offering a D4 mooring. With stunning views across the harbour and Itchenor reach, the setting is truly remarkable. Having been owned by the same family for over 35 years, this property is now primed for its next owner to personalize it according to their vision. While it remains entirely livable as-is, there is plenty of room for enhancements, expansions, or even complete redevelopment (subject to local planning consents). The surrounding area has seen a transformation in recent years, indicating strong potential for future value increase. The home itself spans two levels and currently offers four to five bedrooms alongside ample reception space. The ground floor boasts a well-designed flow featuring a kitchen/breakfast room, dining area, and a large living room that takes advantage of the southern and western views of the garden and meadow leading to the harbour. The layout includes a principal bedroom on the ground floor with an en suite shower room plus two additional double bedrooms sharing another bathroom—one currently used as a study. Upstairs houses two more double bedrooms complemented by a shared bathroom and generous loft storage space. This configuration provides an excellent foundation for either modern updates or a more comprehensive remodel. Outside, the well-maintained gardens are a highlight with expansive lawns surrounding the house and a grass meadow sloping towards the water's edge. The open boundaries with neighbouring properties enhance the sense of privacy while maintaining connectivity to the natural surroundings. A private driveway accommodates several vehicles along with a detached double garage and cedar summer house—practical features that align perfectly with coastal living. Situated in Bosham—a village famed for its sailing heritage and community spirit—the property benefits from proximity to coastal walks and easy access to transportation links directly into London. This rare opportunity on Smugglers Lane combines both privacy and long-term investment potential amidst one of the South East’s most desirable locations.
