Features and description
A superb yachtsman’s residence, discreetly set within this desirable private lane and requiring renovation, just a few yards from Chichester Marina and its amenities.
Waterside is a much-loved family home, offering versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. Thoughtfully extended over the years, it now provides a flexible layout to suit a variety of needs. While the property would benefit from some modernisation, it occupies a generous plot of approximately 0.3 acres, with an additional parcel of land available by separate negotiation.
The front porch leads into the kitchen, which opens onto a dining area and flows into the striking double-height sitting room, where patio doors give access to the garden. Also on the ground floor are two bedrooms and a family bathroom off the inner hall, together with a fourth bedroom with en suite shower room that links to the garden room. The garden room itself enjoys patio doors onto the garden.
From the sitting room, stairs rise to the first floor, opening into a light-filled triple-aspect living room. From here, a landing leads to a study area and a small cloakroom. A further landing provides access to the principal bedroom, fitted with wardrobes and served by an en suite bathroom.
Outside
Approached via a spur off this private lane, the property is entered through a gated driveway, offering ample parking and space for boat storage, together with a tandem garage. The gardens are largely laid to lawn, complemented by mature hedging and well-stocked borders that provide both colour and privacy. Centrally positioned within its plot, the house enjoys south- and west-facing aspects, with views across the adjoining field.
A patio and pathways connect to greenhouses and sheds, with the entire plot extending to approximately 0.3 acres. *Additionally, there is potential to purchase further land to the rear by separate negotiation. Further details can be provided by Tod Anstee.
Location
Waterside is set off a highly sought-after private lane in the desirable harbour-side village of Birdham. A particular feature is its close proximity to one of the UK’s premier recreational marinas, accessed via a pedestrian bridge across the Chichester Canal beside the property. In addition to easy access to the pontoons, the marina offers a convenience store, a popular waterside restaurant, and Chichester Yacht Club. Within the village itself are a beautiful parish church, village hall, further convenience store/post office, and a well-regarded primary school. The surrounding countryside, much of which is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (National Landscape), provides wonderful walks along the harbour, while the Salterns Way cycle path links West Wittering to Chichester via Itchenor and Dell Quay.
The historic cathedral city of Chichester offers excellent shopping, leisure and cultural amenities, all within the mainly level pedestrianised streets of this beautifully preserved city. Highlights include the Pallant House Gallery and the Festival Theatre. The area is also home to a number of renowned schools in both the public and private sectors. For the commuter, Chichester station provides a regular service to London Victoria in around 1 hour 40 minutes (via Gatwick Airport), while nearby Havant station offers a faster link to London Waterloo in about 1 hour 20 minutes.
