Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Nestled between Chichester and the coast, this home makes for an ideal family getaway in West Sussex. In the Victorian main house, traditional sash windows offer quaint country views, while the sliding patio doors offer direct access to a quintessential English garden – though the swimming pool is a surprising addition. A separate two-bedroom annexe is ideal for family groups seeking a little more privacy – it has its own entrance and garden. Little ones are well looked after here, too, with their own bunk room and toys. It's easy to do a day at the beach from here – Bognor Regis is twenty minutes away – and car enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Goodwood.
