Spacious single-storey home on nearly 1.9 acres with barn conversion potential.
Waterside setting with original millpond and wildlife-rich garden
Old Mill Farm is a rare, single-storey waterside bungalow set beside its original millpond, offering far-reaching views over Sidlesham Quay and a private, wildlife-rich garden. Reception rooms with exposed timbers and a feature fireplace open onto a raised terrace — an inviting spot for morning coffee or evening sunsets. The kitchen’s mix of timber-fronted units and a vintage Aga suits a traditional country home, while three bedrooms and two shower rooms provide comfortable, adaptable accommodation on one level.
The property sits on an exceptionally large plot of about 1.886 acres, including reed beds, lawns, mature shrubs and a planted walled rose garden. A substantial barn-style garage and workshop (ridge height 6.4m) offers secure parking, storage and genuine potential for conversion to extra accommodation or ancillary space, subject to planning consent. An attractive well with pump supplies garden water independently, useful for irrigation and reducing mains usage.
Practical points to note: the house sits in a medium flood-risk zone and broadband speeds are slow — important if you need reliable home working. The EPC is C and heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; the property was built relatively recently (circa 1996–2002) and is largely well presented, but the barn and some elements may benefit from updating if conversion is pursued. A public footpath runs along the north-eastern boundary but is screened by fencing and mature hedging.
This tranquil, waterside setting will suit buyers seeking privacy, nature and scope for enhancement — ideal for those looking to downsize without compromising on space, or buyers wanting a distinctive rural home with planning potential for added value. Local coastal paths, nearby marinas and Chichester’s amenities place the countryside lifestyle within reach of good facilities and leisure options.
