Full description
Located within one of West Wittering's most sought-after private roads, Elms Cottage is ideally positioned for easy access to the famous Blue Flag beach and sand dunes at East Head, making this a wonderful property for relocation, retirement or as a holiday retreat. The property occupies a comfortable plot of 0.3 acres with approximately half of the grounds being held under a separate title. The second title gives provision for the creation of an additional dwelling if desired, or would allow for the re-development of Elms Cottage to create one larger dwelling, all subject the usual permissions. A Pre-Application to Chichester District Council in 2016 was given a positive response - copies of the correspondence are available.
Elms Cottage measures 1,777 sq ft including the garage and brick built outbuilding and briefly comprises four first floor bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom to the principle bedroom along with a separate family shower room. The ground floor comprises an L-shaped sitting-dining room, separate study/playroom and the kitchen. A cloakroom and lean-to style sun room complete the accommodation.
Outside, the sizable driveway provides ample off road parking and leads to the detached double garage towards the rear of the plot and at the end of the section of walled garden. There is also a brick built utility and log store attached to the side of the property along with a shed, greenhouse and low-level covered boat store within the gardens. The gardens are well established, mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs, hedges and trees.

People flock to East Wittering during the holiday season thanks to our world-famous beaches that are so beautiful and a way of life that’s relaxed and warm.
It’s little wonder we experienced significant building development during the 1960s and ‘80s when our rich mix of character house styles in the Witterings made it hard for people to leave. Many of the properties in the area enjoy wonderful views across the English Channel and the sound of distant waves provides a soothing backing track to everyday life here.
