Description
A beautifully converted, luxuriously appointed cottage on tranquil millstream, providing excellent two bedroom accommodation barely a stone's throw from the sailing club and foreshore.
Originally built in 1857 as the chapel hall, this cleverly designed property has a vaulted ceiling giving a feeling of space and light, and a galleried landing providing access to two bedrooms with sea views in the distance, both with en-suite bathrooms, one of which has a whirlpool bath.
The open plan ground floor accommodation has a relaxing sitting room area, with surround sound system and smart TV opening to the dining area with the kitchen placed to allow either privacy whilst cooking or inclusion with guests. The kitchen is equipped with a wide range of quality appliances and a polished granite worksurface and breakfast bar. The adjacent utility room/cloakroom has both a washing machine and tumble dryer. A ''bonus' room, which completes the ground floor, currently serves as an office, but also could be used for extra storage.
Off the kitchen, there is a delightful south west facing garden terrace that directly overlooks Bosham stream, providing a beautiful alfresco eating and relaxation area. The property has superb Airbnb potential, having previously earned up to £50,000 per annum. There are plenty of 5* guest reviews available online that further define and underscore the merits of this unique property.
The cottage is within easy walking distance of the harbour, sailing club and waterfront cafe and pub, as well as the Millstream Hotel. Street parking is within a two minute walk.
Bosham is perhaps the prettiest of villages on Chichester Harbour and one of the premier centres for sailing on the south coast with a ready supply of moorings and a thriving sailing club which hosts one of the largest fleets of classic day boats in the country. The village has an interesting history with the chancel of its Saxon church featuring in the Bayeux Tapestry and also having a claim as being the location where King Canute tried to hold back the rising tide. The village has an active local community with a primary school, two pubs and a very popular hotel/restaurant, tea rooms and an arts and crafts centre. A little further to the north is a well-stocked farm shop, sub post office and medical centre. Sailing is the premier past time in the immediate area but other recreational activities are well catered for. Golf courses can be found at Goodwood, Fontwell and Hunston. West Wittering can be found within approximately 10 miles and has stunning blue flag beaches and the National Trust Reserve at East Head. Bosham village has its own railway halt providing a connection to either Chichester or Havant both of which provide regular services to London Victoria and Waterloo respectively.
