Large detached bungalow in central Bosham, walking distance to quay
Shamrock Cottage is a spacious three-bedroom detached bungalow set in the heart of old Bosham, an easy walk from the quay, sailing club and village amenities. The single-storey layout, elevated position and mature, private garden suit buyers seeking level access living with charming period features and scope to modernise. A large detached gable-ended garage with adjacent off-street parking is a practical rarity in the village.
The house is offered with clear potential: subject to usual planning consents the property could be replaced, reconfigured or extended, and the substantial loft (access from the central bedroom) plus the garage loft could be converted to deliver significant extra accommodation. Internally there are two sitting rooms (one with a feature fireplace), a central kitchen, cloak/utility, family bathroom and three bedrooms – a layout which lends itself to reworking for contemporary family needs or downsizers who want flexible space.
Buyers should note material facts: the property dates from the 1920s, uses electric storage heating, has cavity walls assumed without insulation, and double glazing of unknown age. There is a medium flood risk for the area and only one bathroom. These are manageable but realistic considerations when budgeting for comfort upgrades or planning extensions. The location, very affluent surroundings and excellent local transport links make this a strong proposition for someone prepared to invest in modernisation or to create additional living space through permitted development and planning.
