Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This stunning home was originally two buildings – a Grade II listed cart house and a thatched dairy barn. A glass walkway now links them, creating a holiday home that exudes modern luxury. Of course, there are still nods to its rustic past, with exposed brick walls, beautiful oak beams, and old hay forks adorning the walls. Floor-to-ceiling double doors merge the open-plan living area with the garden, which boasts uninterrupted views of the surrounding farmland. Chichester is just a ten-minute drive away, as is the Blue Flag West Wittering beach.
