Set a short drive from the sea, this characterful Victorian home is a coastal retreat we think you’ll love. After a windswept walk on the beach, it offers a warm welcome – think delicious home-cooked dinners and cosy fireside evenings. And in the summer months, the heated swimming pool is a real treat, set in a pretty garden that’s peaceful and secluded. Some of the best beaches in West Sussex are on your doorstep too, like East and West Wittering, and historic Chichester is only fifteen minutes away.
