Dating from the late 17th century, this Grade II brick-and-flint cottage offers authentic period character within walking distance of Chichester Harbour. The reception room showcases exposed beams and an original beehive fireplace, while the rear kitchen/dining room is bright and opens via full-width bi-fold doors onto a secluded walled garden and sunny raised deck — a rare private outside space in the village. The house is compact (566 sq ft) but arranged over multiple levels, with two characterful bedrooms upstairs and useful outdoor storage.
Practical details matter: the property is freehold but has listed status, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or modernisation. The EPC is rated E and the cottage has low ceilings and small rooms, so buyers should expect limited internal space and potentially higher running costs than a modern home. Main gas boiler and double glazing are in place, and there is no flood risk.
This cottage will suit someone seeking a characterful seaside bolt-hole or a downsizer who values location and charm over open-plan living and contemporary space. It’s especially appealing to those who appreciate historic details and village life close to sailing facilities, local shops and good transport links to Chichester and beyond. Survey recommended for anyone considering upgrades or adaptation due to listed status and the age of the building.
