For Sale3 Bedroom Detached House in Court Barn Lane, Birdham, Chichester, West Sussex, PO20£2,950,000

Pict Fenn has an exceptional location, enjoying some far-reaching views over the main channel of Chichester Harbour towards Bosham Hoe and the South Downs in the distance. Located within walking distance of Birdham Pool, the property is refreshingly secluded set in its own gardens and grounds and being only one of three properties reached by way of a small private road. Despite its privacy it is nevertheless within easy reach of neighbouring facilities of Birdham Pool and nearby Chichester Marina. The present house is of a modernist design with large picture windows making the most of the splendid harbour views together with a first floor drawing room and adjacent roof terrace looking over the main channel of the harbour. <br/><br/>Planning permission was granted (ref 21/03007/FUL) providing planning consent for a new contemporary house of 5,700 sqft creating an exceptional home with harbour views in the most private of settings. This expired in February 2025 and an application has been submitted for its renewal. <br/><br/>Pict Fenn is approached by way of a long gravel driveway leading from its private road and passing timber built stable buildings on its way to an area of casual parking and double garage, located to the south of the house. The gardens and grounds lie predominantly to the north and have hedged boundaries with a terrace running the length of the house. We understand that a pedestrian right of way exists between the garden and the foreshore providing access to the water and this has been exercised by our clients throughout their ownership.<br/><br/>Pict Fenn lies in rural surroundings, immediately adjacent to the main channel of Chichester Harbour and just to the north of the village of Birdham which provides a parish church, village primary school and shop, all within convenient travelling distance of many of the south coast's best sailing and coastal facilities. The nearby waters of the Solent are particularly popular with sailors and the area has a wide choice of sailing clubs and marinas, particularly Birdham Pool immediately adjacent to this property and nearby Chichester Marina. The National Trust Reserve of East Head has perhaps the most picturesque beach in West Sussex and the coastline of the Witterings in general provides many opportunities for swimming, windsurfing, kite surfing and land boarding.
