Smugglers Lane, Bosham, PO18

Full description

Coast & Country by Henry Adams are excited to represent the seller of Wheelhouse, which is a residential property set along one of Bosham’s most desirable and discreet lanes. This is a rare and compelling opportunity to acquire a charming harbour-side family home occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.6 acres, with directly backing gardens and a grass meadow sloping Southward down to a tidal creek suitable for boating and a D4 mooring. The property has and enviable views across Chichester Harbour and the Itchenor reach.

The property has been enjoyed by our client for over 35 years and is now ready for the next custodian to take on and create a home tailored to their own requirements. While entirely habitable and comfortable in its current form, Wheelhouse offers clear scope for improvement, extension or redevelopment, subject to the usual consents, in an area where neighbouring properties along Smugglers Lane have evolved significantly over time.

Arranged over two floors, the accommodation currently provides four/five bedrooms together with a well-balanced range of reception space. At ground-floor level, a kitchen/breakfast room, dining room and a particularly large living room enjoy a natural flow, with the principal reception room positioned to take full advantage of the Southerly and Westerly outlook across the garden, meadow and the harbour beyond.

Currently the principal bedroom is on the ground floor with en suite shower room, as well as two further double bedrooms served by an additional bathroom – one of which is currently used as a study. Climbing the stairs to the first floor you’ll find two further double bedrooms and a shared bathroom, additionally there is access to a large loft-storage. Overall, the layout offers an excellent foundation, whether for modernisation or a more comprehensive re-imagining.

Outside, the gardens are a standout feature. Mainly laid to lawn around the house, the grass meadow to the South has open boundaries with the neighbours to the West, they extend gently down towards the water, creating a wonderful sense of openness and connection to the harbour setting.

To the front, a private driveway offers ample parking for several vehicles, complemented by a detached double garage and a cedar summer house, ensuring practicality to match the lifestyle appeal.

Wheelhouse occupies an enviable position within Bosham—renowned for its sailing heritage, coastal walks, village community and direct rail links to London—placing it firmly amongst the most sought-after locations along the Chichester Harbour shoreline.

In summary, this is a genuinely exciting opportunity: a well-loved coastal home, in a prime location, offering the chance to create something exceptional for the next generation.
