A 5 bedroom converted barn with hot tub - between the sea and the Downs, Chichester

South Downs. Sleeps up to 12

A spacious and beautifully renovated barn, in well laid out and mature gardens, this family home sits at the foot of the South Downs and close to the historic village of Bosham. Chichester Harbour, Goodwood and the cathedral city of Chichester are all on the doorstep, with West Wittering beach and the more secluded East Head just 20 minutes away.

The house is perfect for one or two families, and has plenty of space for relaxing in all the reception rooms. It has five good-sized bedrooms - a master bedroom with a super king size bed and day bed, en suite bathroom and dressing room; a double room with a sofa bed; a small double room, and a bunk room, all sharing a family bathroom on the first floor, and a ground floor annexe with a double room and living room, en suite shower room and kitchenette - allowing the house to comfortably sleep 10, and a maximum of 12 when staying with small children. The ground floor is a large open plan space with a good sized kitchen with a walk-in larder, dining room and very spacious drawing room. There's also a boot room and downstairs loo. Both the dining room and drawing room have wood burning stoves for winter rentals. Outside, there are two main gardens - one with lawns and views overlooking fields and the other, a pretty walled garden with a table and chairs for al fresco dining., as well as a hot tub for six people, on a separate terrace. There is plenty of parking space in front of the house.

The house is tucked away in the small village of East Ashling, at the base of the beautiful South Downs. There is a lovely pub that serves lunch and dinner, whilst the nearest shop is in Bosham - just a couple of minutes' drive away. Chichester has all the main supermarkets (all of which can deliver), as well as a good selection of shops and restaurants. There are some fabulous places to eat in the Downs and around the harbour, and families who love walking have endless possibilities (both short and long!) There are plenty of cycling routes (both road and off road) from the house, and for families who love the water, the possibilities are endless. There is sailing, kayaking and paddle boarding in the harbour and surfing at West Wittering.

We have a strict no pets policy.
