A gorgeous period cottage on the banks of the millstream, this home puts you in the heart of the picturesque English coastal village of Bosham. It’s incredibly quiet here, with barely any sound other than the burbling of the stream and the quacking of ducks. And as it’s a smartly converted community hall dating back to the 19th century, it combines the charms of yesterday with the comforts of today. At night, enjoy the home cinema set up complete with a popcorn machine, Shiatsu massage cushions and treats from the welcome hamper. In the mornings, sit on your patio directly on the stream and enjoy morning cappucinos. Then walk to the end of the lane and you’re at the water’s edge where you’ll find gorgeous views of the estuary – make sure you come back for sunset over the waterfront quay. For biking, walking and nature enthusiasts, the South Downs National Park is a fifteen-minute drive away and the Wittering Beaches are under a half-hour’s drive. Plus, if you’re looking for a little more action, the market town of Chichester is only 10-minutes by car from your tranquil home on the stream.
