4 bed detached house for sale

Crooked Lane, Birdham PO20

Set within a generous south-west facing plot of around one-third of an acre, the house enjoys a superb position close to Chichester Yacht Basin, Birdham Pool, Salterns Way and East and West Wittering.

At the heart of the house is a magnificent open‐plan kitchen/living/dining room, finished to an outstanding specification. The bespoke kitchen features polished granite worktops, extensive cabinetry, integrated appliances and a substantial central island. Large‐format porcelain tiles, wide‐opening glazed doors and multi‐fold doors-complete with integrated blinds-draw the eye directly to the garden and terrace, creating a seamless indoor‐outdoor flow ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

A relaxed living area sits alongside the kitchen, with further glazed doors opening to the terrace. Double sliding doors connect this space to the separate sitting room, which is arranged around an elegant fireplace. Completing the ground floor is a study, a cloakroom and a well-equipped utility room with farmhouse sink and excellent storage.

Upstairs, all four bedrooms are generous doubles. Two have en‐suite shower rooms, and the remaining rooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom. Bedroom layouts and storage options are well-considered, offering flexibility for family life or visiting guests.

Outside, the south-west facing garden is a standout feature. Beautifully landscaped to include a Travertine and brick terrace, shaped lawns, raised decking, and mature hedging providing privacy and structure. The plot’s size and orientation create a wonderful setting for wildlife and all aspects of outdoor living.

Location

Birdham is a charming and well-connected village set between Chichester Harbour and the sandy beaches of West Wittering, providing an ideal base for enjoying both countryside and coastal recreation. Crooked Lane offers a lovely village environment, with a church, cricket club, Waitrose local, and village hall which hosts activities for all ages.

Birdham’s strong maritime heritage is evident in its two notable marinas: Birdham Pool, one of the oldest marinas in the country, and the extensive Chichester Marina, offering excellent facilities for boat owners and enthusiasts. The location is particularly appealing for sailors, with several prestigious sailing clubs nearby and sheltered waters leading out to the Solent.

The village itself sits along the popular Salterns Way, a picturesque cycle and walking route that links Chichester to West Wittering providing a delightful, largely off-road path through countryside and harbour landscapes.

Less than a five-minute drive is both East and West Wittering, the latter being famous for its National Trust reserve at East Head, superb coastal walks, watersports and sailing clubs. Alongside is East Wittering, a thriving village well served by a variety of shops, pubs, restaurants, and cafes as well as a modern medical centre, and dental surgery.
