4 bed detached house for sale

Smugglers Lane, Bosham, Chichester, West Sussex PO18

A lovely character family house occupying a great position on Smugglers Lane, one of the most sought after locations in Sussex.

The house has been well maintained and modernised and has very well balanced accommodation spread over two floors. The ground floor has a spacious sitting room with French doors at either end, and an open plan family/dining room with adjacent kitchen, and a utility room and boot room beyond. The fourth bedroom can easily be adapted as a study.

The first floor was altered to comprise three spacious double bedrooms, the master of which has a large dressing room and en-suite, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom.

The house has replacement high performance tilt and turn factory coated timber windows and underfloor heating. A prospective purchaser may wish to look into extending into the roof space to create two further bedrooms, shared en-suite and ample loft storage. Architect designed plans have been drawn.

Rest Harrow occupies a lovely mature plot stretching to 0.4 acres and with plenty of parking space for cars and dinghies to the front, whilst the back garden has been beautifully designed to provide all year colour. Backing onto open farmland the house has views to Kingley Vale and the South Downs National Park.

Rest Harrow lies on the northern side of Smugglers Lane with a driveway providing ample casual parking for cars and dinghy's. The frontage to Smugglers Lane is screened by a number of well-established oak trees. This tree lined lane in rural surroundings is within half a mile of the Itchenor/Bosham ferry and about two miles distant lies the harbourside village of Old Bosham, perhaps one of the most famous villages on Chichester Harbour. Well known for its picturesque nature, it provides a small selection of local shops, arranged around an historic High Street, complete with ancient Saxon church, Quay Meadow and Bosham Sailing Club. To the north in Delling Lane there is a post office/farm shop and, in what has become known as North Bosham, a further small selection of shops and railway halt. This provides services running to London Victoria via Chichester or London Waterloo via Havant. Chichester itself is some 6 miles to the east and provides a comprehensive range of facilities arranged around a partly pedestrianised centre. Whilst sailing is inevitably the premier pastime in the area, other leisure activities are well catered for including a number of golf courses, swimming and windsurfing from various beaches along the south coast, and the many facilities of the Goodwood Estate including its internationally known racecourse, private health club and for hosting the Festival of Speed and the September Revival meeting at its historic motor circuit.
