Rest Harrow is a spacious, well-balanced four-bedroom family house set in a semi-rural lane near Bosham Harbour. The property sits on about 0.4 acres with mature, well-planted gardens backing directly onto open farmland, offering long views to Kingley Vale and the South Downs — ideal for families who value outdoor space and rural outlooks.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors with a through sitting room with French doors at both ends, open-plan dining/breakfast space and a shaker-style kitchen. Practical ground-floor additions include a utility/boot room and a cloakroom; bedroom four also works as a study. The first floor has three double bedrooms, a generous master with dressing room and refitted ensuite, plus a refitted family bathroom. The house benefits from underfloor heating and high-performance tilt-and-turn timber windows for improved comfort.
There is clear potential to enlarge: architect-designed plans exist to extend into the loft for two extra bedrooms, a shared ensuite and storage. Parking is ample with a driveway and garage; the plot provides storage space for cars and dinghies, reflecting the property’s close harbour-side location.
Important considerations: the property lies in a high flood-risk area, so buyers should seek specialist flood advice and insurance quotes. Heating is oil-fired; while underfloor heating improves efficiency, oil fuel adds running cost and supply considerations. The house dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and has partial cavity insulation, so further insulation works may be desirable. Council tax is noted as relatively expensive. Overall, this is a mature, well-loved family home in a sought-after hamlet location with notable extension potential and strong outdoor appeal.
