Full description

Tucked away at the end of a private driveway in the peaceful rural hamlet of Batchmere, this detached chalet-style barn conversion offers generous space, character, and a true sense of privacy. It also enjoys the distinction of being the only detached property within the collection of converted barns.

Originally a working barn, the property has been thoughtfully converted and extended over the years to create a comfortable and versatile home.

The front door opens into a bright hallway leading to a generous dining room with a feature fireplace. The galley-style kitchen provides plenty of cupboard space, and there’s a separate utility room for extra convenience. To the rear, a light and airy living room with dual aspect windows overlooks the garden, while the adjoining garden room is the perfect place to sit and enjoy the view. A newly refurbished shower room and a ground floor bedroom, currently used as a study, complete the downstairs layout.

Upstairs are two good sized double bedrooms. The main bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom, and the second bedroom offers plenty of storage with eaves cupboards and an additional double wardrobe on the landing. A modern family bathroom serves this floor.

The property has been updated with an air source heat pump for efficient heating and lower running costs.

Outside, the wrap-around garden enjoys sunshine throughout the day, with a mix of lawn and patio areas ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A real highlight is the pair of barns to the front, substantial structures, offering plenty of space for vehicles, storage or workshop use, tying in perfectly with the property’s barn origins.

Why live in the Witterings?

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.

There’s no shortage of things to do in the area, especially if you enjoy spending time on the beach, playing water sports and experiencing the countryside and wildlife.  Both East and West Wittering are well known for sailing and surfing and there are local sailing clubs at West Wittering, Itchenor and Dell Quay and mooring facilities at Chichester Marina. West Wittering beach is postcard-perfect with its vast expanses of fine golden sand while East Wittering is more typically English with a shingle shelf that’s exposed when the tide goes out leaving behind stunning areas of wet sand where you can make sandcastles to your heart’s content. The nearby Bracklesham Bay is especially popular with surfers, divers, windsurfers and paddle boarders as well as being a treasure trove for fossil hunters.

We have everything here you need to enjoy this idyllic lifestyle here. In the village you’ll find a good selection of shops, including mini supermarkets, greengrocers, butchers, banks, bakers and a fishmonger and everything is close by in Chichester and Portsmouth.  We have two local schools for children up to 11 years of age at East Wittering Community Primary School and West Wittering Parochial C of E School and a choice of secondary schools and further education options in Chichester.
