Extended family home dating back to 18th century

Believed to have been originally built in the late 18th century, this beautifully presented detached home is situated close to Itchenor and West Wittering.

The current owners have significantly extended and streamlined the internal accommodation in conjunction with Joanna Jefferson Architects, creating a family home with a formal sitting room, lovely flagstoned kitchen/dining room with tri-fold doors on to the terrace and a particularly spacious and vaulted family room.

There are five bedrooms on the first floor with an additional sixth on the ground floor, three bathrooms and a utility room and downstairs cloakroom.

Features include lovely flagstoned floors to the kitchen/dining room and reception room.

A wood-burning stove in the sitting room and a lovely garden of approximately 1.4 acres with an outdoor heated swimming pool.

There is an extensive stone terrace adjacent to the main dining and family room doors.

The garden is a particular feature, stretching to around 1.4 acres with a combination of formal lawn, terracing, arbor and flower meadow along with a heated swimming pool.

The house, in Shipton Green, is located approximately one and a half miles from one of the most sought-after sailing villages on Chichester Harbour.

Itchenor is renowned for its thriving sailing club and well-established sailing community, and has a pub and parish church.

Shops can be found nearby in the adjacent village of Birdham, providing a sub-post office and store.

Nearby Chichester Marina also provides a chandlery and a restaurant/bar.

A wider range of shops can be found approximately two miles to the south in the village of East Wittering.

There is a seasonal ferry service giving access by foot and bicycle to Bosham from Itchenor.

The Blue Flag beaches of West Wittering can be found approximately three miles to the south as well as the National Trust Reserve at East Head and much of the surrounding countryside is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty.
