Situated less than a hundred metres from the seafront, this modern home feels like a beach hut's sophisticated older sibling.

The walls are an instantly soothing shade of white, which are livened up by artwork in varying shades of blue and the odd house plant or two. This sense of brightness is also helped by the conservatory dining room, which acts as a suntrap on summer afternoons. You also have the option of heading out into the garden and enjoying balmy weather from the seating on the corner terrace — perhaps with dinner cooking away on the barbecue.

In addition to the aforementioned stretch of East Wittering Beach only four minutes' walk from the home, there are opportunities for rambles and birdwatching in the nearby Chichester Harbour AONB only six minutes' drive away. The cathedral city that lends this area its name lies only twenty-five minutes away in the car, too.



Blue Skies Are Coming

Well, there's no mystery why this home has made our collection. The apartment is right on the beach in East Wittering, so as you can see, it has great views of the sea from the private sunny balcony as well as most rooms. Yes, the galley kitchen is a bit compact if there are more than two people in there, but it's modern and well-equipped. If you tire of East Wittering Beach (unlikely we know), West Wittering Beach, with its views of Chichester, is less than a ten-minute drive. Otherwise, Chichester Marina is just over ten minutes away in the car, and Goodwood House is around a thirty-minute ride.

Light & Sea

Enjoy a spectacular British beachside break at this gorgeous holiday home, based just a three-minute walk from the stunning sandy beaches of East Wittering. It’s set on a peaceful residential road, making this the ideal home for families looking for a stay by the sea. We love the open design that provides everyone with lots of space to stretch out and relax, with an extendable dining table for fish and chip feasts at lunchtime, as well as a dreamy lounge with large bi-fold doors out into the garden.

As soon as you step foot outside, you’ll be impressed by the pristine lawn that’s great for letting the kids run wild when it gets warm, and the rattan sun loungers that let you relax in the sunshine in the summer months. The hot tub is very inviting for spending serene evenings watching the stars come out while you relax in absolute bliss. 

Sand Dune Symphony

Unplug and reconnect with loved ones in this magnificent coastal home. This is a contemporary yet homely haven, set in just under one acre of mature gardens, filled with fruit trees and weeping willows. Natural light is ushered into the open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, the true heart of the home, and deep comfortable sofas, a natural palette and beautiful log burners welcome you in and wrap you up in a hug. Enjoy a movie night in front of the flat-screen TV – but only after you’ve indulged in a divine feast at the sprawling dining table, neatly tucked amongst a corner of windows. Sneak off for a relaxing bubble bath with a glass of Prosecco in hand, and it will be the most wonderful way to unwind. 
 
After a restful night’s sleep under the crisp white sheets, you’ll awake feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. Indulge in a morning coffee sat next to the lavender, listening to the hum of the bees for a peaceful morning treat. This home is a magical escape bringing together coast, town and country effortlessly. 

Wind in Your Sails

This is the kind of place we'd recommend for a longer stay, just because we feel that a one-week booking will barely let you scrape the surface of all it has to offer. The insides are designed for a large family to play, relax, and adventure together, especially as the house is well-equipped with cooking supplies, DVDs, and games. But of course, the real highlight of this house is its beautiful natural surroundings – the mudflats outside offer a unique opportunity for wildlife fanatics and birdwatchers to get their wellies on and reconnect with nature. We love how the whole house is designed with the awareness of the natural beauty just outside, and every room has a stunning view that keeps inviting you to go outdoors. The living space benefits from large picture windows, an intricate fireplace and nautical furnishings that make it as homely as it is bright. Speaking of, the luminous conservatory is a light and airy space to enjoy group meals together while keeping one eye out for the lesser spotted red-breasted merganser. Better still, start your day in the calm fresh air – there's a lovely patio and garden area to enjoy your morning coffee from, complete with an outdoor dining table and chairs. When you're ready to explore the nearby towns, we recommend that you start with Chichester's Cathedrals, then take a twenty-minute drive to West Wittering beach for a day trip. If there are Peppa Pig fans in your party, then a visit to Peppa Pig World at Paulton's Park is also a must. While others may enjoy mooching around the picturesque village of Bosham next door – a six-minute drive. There's so much to see and do here, although we wouldn't blame you for spending most of your time languorously birdwatching, playing games and enjoying the scenic waterfront surroundings at home.

Flow Theory

Found on the peaceful Hayling Island, this former barn has been converted into a gorgeous coastal retreat. Whether you're bringing friends, family, pets, or all three, there's plenty of room across the home's two floors, with a ground floor bedroom (plus en-suite) for any guests with limited mobility and twin beds for any tired little ones. The bright and accommodating living area has its own log burner for colder nights, while on warmer days, you can step out for some rays on the sun deck – or even take a stroll through the pleasant aromas of your own vegetable garden. Only ninety minutes by train from London, there's lots to explore in the local area, from scenic coastal footpaths to water sports at nearby Chichester Harbour. 


The Vegetable Garden

Summer strolls along the soft sand of East Wittering beach are just a short walk away from this modern family home. Spend the day catching waves at the surf school, paddling in the shallows or simply admiring the rainbow of beach huts from the sand. The heart of East Wittering, with its fish and chip shops, seafood restaurants and trendy cafés, is just a fifteen-minute dander away too. 

Back at this family bungalow, driftwood-hued cladding gives off an immediate beachy vibe. The back garden is a private suntrap where a wicker dining set sits on the astroturf and a hot tub awaits for a post-seaside soak. Heading inside, the open kitchen and living room is a social space, soothing in pebble-grey and white. There’s a second seating nook at the back of the house, perfect for a kids’ hang-out space. Plus, the playroom and bunkbed bedroom let you know this place has been designed with families in mind. 

Driftwood Daydream

Located just steps from the beautiful East Wittering beach, this contemporary home is the ultimate seaside staycation. Boasting a private balcony with sea views, start the day with a cup of coffee while you breathe in the fresh sea air. When you're ready to head out and explore, you'll find golden shores mere minutes away, where you can stroll, sunbathe and surf the waves. If you fancy beach hopping, West Wittering is only a 10-minute drive away and has Blue Flag status.

After a day on the sand, travel home to jump in the shower and enjoy a family dinner in the garden. The lush green lawn offers plenty of space to stretch out and is perfect for little ones wanting to blow off some steam while the adults prepare food on the barbecue. When dinner's ready, gather everyone around the dining table on the patio and tuck in.


Sussex Surf

Pack up your bucket and spades and hit the beach at this contemporary yet playful home located just a five-minute stroll from the unspoilt sandy shores of the exclusive West Wittering Estate. A home begging for an intimate group of family or friends to come together, there's ample space to all spill out here. When the sun shines, pad across the cool, polished concrete floor and slide the patio doors right back to let the sunshine in. Kick back with a morning coffee from the espresso machine on the terrace while children play in the vast lawned garden. Or join them for an impromptu game of football – there's goals ready and waiting for action. On cooler days, come together around the vast dining table and break out the home's board games – the underfloor heating will keep toes toasty. Challenge your troops to a round of table football. Or sneak away upstairs for an early evening bath in the master suite – a glass of something chilled optional. When the sea finally calls, the soft sandy shores and dunes are just five minutes away for castle making, kite flying, and, if you're lucky with the swell, surfing. Should tummies start to rumble, there's a cafe at the beach, and the village's gastropub and coffee shop are just three minutes from your door. Or take a stroll along the coast to East Wittering (or a four-minute drive) for obligatory fish and chips on the beach. 

Elephant's Breath

Located in the small village of Birdham, this recently refurbished country home is perfect for families looking to escape the city. We particularly love the dining room conservatory –  an ideal place to eat breakfast while enjoying the views of the fields beyond your private garden. The home is just a short walk from several footpaths, for those keen to explore the countryside on foot. With West Wittering just a short drive away, you can also be at the beach in no time. 


Fields of Birdham

Sandwiched between the South Downs National Park and the Chichester Harbour AONB, it doesn’t get more away-from-it-all country glam than this little Sussex nook. It’s on the edge of a wildlife meadow, so sessions on the private terrace come with the soundtrack of birdsong and a gentle summer breeze. Spot wildlife from the warmth of the private hot tub on the deck, or perhaps from the swing seat, strung up on the porch. 

The interior is a reflection of the wilderness location, with wooden artworks featuring fawns and birdlife on display in the cosy bedrooms. The window seat in the master makes for the perfect reading nook, overlooking the meadow, and there’s a desk in here should you need to work remotely. The vaulted, wood-beam ceiling is twisted with stringed lights for a fairytale effect and there’s plenty of room at the rustic wooden table for the group to dine inside (if you’re not enjoying an alfresco meal on the terrace, that is). Come evening time, the plush sofas in the living room are set around a wood-burning stove. 

Wildflower Hideaway

A short drive away from the Chichester Golf Club, the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the coast, this beautiful countryside home caters to anyone looking to explore South East England, but a rural location also makes it a retreat for relaxation. Once you’ve spent one morning out in the fresh air, dining al fresco in the garden, you’ll understand what we mean. Let the tranquillity seep into your bones as you nurse a cup of coffee on the sun lounger as you overlook the rolling green landscape.

Walk moments away to find an award-winning pub where you can spend afternoons in a quintessentially British way as you bask in the sunny beer garden. 

When not enjoying the outdoors, find your place inside, where countryside charm is the order of the day. Enjoy fresh fruit and Full English breakfasts in the farm-style kitchen, family movie night around the fireplace in the living room, and you’ll be guaranteed to find the bookworms in the small, private library.
