Set on Mill Lane with uninterrupted outlooks towards Pagham Harbour, this charming period cottage combines character features with a large, private plot. The main house offers exposed beams, a cosy sitting room with a multi‑fuel burner and French doors opening onto a south‑facing garden that captures afternoon sun. A converted former garage provides an independent studio — ideal for guests, home‑working or occasional rental.
Practical positives include off‑street parking for two cars, a large timber summerhouse, productive vegetable beds and a greenhouse. The property is offered chain free and is only six miles from Chichester, making it suitable for buyers seeking a peaceful coastal setting within reasonable reach of local amenities.
Buyers should note this is an older solid‑walled cottage (c.1900–1929) with an EPC rating of E and oil‑fired central heating. The low beamed ceiling in the sitting room (measured at approx. 5'6") and traditional construction mean insulated upgrades and modernisation may be required to improve energy efficiency and head height in places. Broadband speeds are slow and the site carries a medium flood risk — both are important for future running costs and insurance.
Overall this is a character‑led home with strong location appeal and scope to enhance value through targeted improvements. It will particularly suit downsizers or second‑home buyers who prioritise setting, garden and a guest studio over immediate turnkey modern finishes.
