About this property
Overview
Flintstone Cottage is a characterful Grade II listed flint home, set within approximately 0.37 acres of attractive south‐west facing gardens and grounds, in the hamlet of Strettington The property sits alongside the Goodwood Estate and adjoining the South Downs National Park, placing some of West Sussex’s most celebrated countryside and events quite literally on the doorstep.
Arranged around a four‐bedroom main house, the property also benefits from an attached self‐contained one‐bedroom cottage and a charming Shepherd’s Hut set within the garden, complete with a hot tub (available by separate negotiation). This flexible layout creates an appealing blend of period character, lifestyle appeal and income potential.
Whether used as a full‐time home, a second residence or a base during Goodwood’s international calendar of events, Flintstone Cottage has demonstrated strong year‐round rental demand, while remaining a comfortable and welcoming country home.
Accommodation
The main house is arranged over two floors, with living spaces flowing naturally on the ground floor and all bedrooms located on the first floor
On the ground floor, a series of characterful reception rooms create a comfortable and sociable layout. A sitting room with feature fireplace provides a welcoming focal point, complemented by a separate family room for everyday living. The open‐plan kitchen dining room forms the heart of the home, ideal for both family life and entertaining. A separate study offers a quiet workspace, while a ground‐floor shower room adds practical convenience.
Upstairs, the first floor provides four double bedrooms, all located on this level, together with a family bathroom, offering comfortable accommodation for family and guests.
Attached to the main house is a self‐contained one‐bedroom cottage, complete with its own entrance, living space, kitchen and shower room. This independent accommodation is ideally suited to guests, extended family or continued use as a holiday let.
Gardens & Grounds
The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 0.37 acres and enjoy a particularly favourable south‐west facing aspect, allowing the outdoor spaces to catch the sun well into the evening.
A large driveway to the front provides ample off‐road parking. To the rear, the garden opens out into attractive lawns bordered by mature trees, hedging and established planting, creating a sense of enclosure and privacy. A patio adjoining the house offers an ideal setting for outdoor dining and relaxed entertaining, with open views across the garden and surrounding countryside.
Positioned at the far end of the garden, the Shepherd’s Hut enjoys a more secluded outlook and is accompanied by a hot tub, creating a charming ancillary retreat that feels pleasantly separate from the main house.
Nb: The Shepherd’s Hut may be included in the sale, subject to offer.
Location & Lifestyle
Strettington is a small hamlet at the foot of the South Downs, valued for its proximity to the countryside and its immediate connection to the Goodwood Estate While the property occupies a roadside position, it benefits from exceptional convenience for estate access, surrounding rural walks and onward travel.
The historic cathedral city of Chichester lies just over three miles to the south, providing a wide range of amenities. The city offers an appealing mix of independent shops, cafés and restaurants, along with galleries, the renowned Chichester Festival Theatre and the cathedral at its heart. A mainline railway station provides regular services to London Victoria
The Wider Area
Immediately adjoining the property, the South Downs National Park offers miles of unspoilt countryside, scenic walking and riding routes, and far‐reaching views across rolling downland.
Beyond Chichester, the coastline becomes the defining feature of the area. Chichester Harbour, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is widely regarded as one of the finest natural sailing harbours on the south coast. Its network of tidal creeks, footpaths and shoreline villages - including Bosham, Itchenor and Dell Quay - creates a highly attractive waterside environment for sailing, paddleboarding and coastal walks.
Further west, the sandy beaches at West Wittering provide open horizons, dune‐backed coastal paths and some of the region’s most popular bathing and watersports conditions.
The Goodwood Estate
The neighbouring Goodwood Estate spans approximately 11,000 acres and is internationally known for its motorsport and racing heritage. Its annual calendar includes the Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival, Members’ Meeting and the Qatar Goodwood Festival at the Racecourse, drawing visitors from around the world.
Beyond its events, the estate offers year‐round amenities including Goodwood Health & Wellbeing, championship golf courses, estate dining, Goodwood Aerodrome and the highly regarded Goodwood Farm Shop Flintstone Cottage enjoys the rare advantage of immediate proximity to these facilities while remaining usable, comfortable and relevant throughout the year.
