4 bed detached house for sale

Bosham Hoe, Bosham PO18

Situated on the highly sought-after Bosham Hoe peninsula, Frenchman’s Creek presents a rare opportunity to acquire a detached waterfront residence with direct access to Chichester Harbour. With uninterrupted views towards Itchenor Sailing Club and westward along the harbour, together with a private jetty and mooring, the property offers a compelling combination of privacy, outlook, and exceptional access to the water.

The property extends to over 3,100 sq ft and has been well maintained throughout, though it offers scope for a new owner to update and put their own stamp on it. The accommodation has been arranged to make the most of the setting, with light-filled principal rooms and several spaces opening directly to the gardens and terraces.

On the ground floor, an open-plan kitchen and dining area opens onto a harbourside terrace - a natural space for al fresco dining and entertaining with water views. The sitting room enjoys extensive harbour views and connects to an adjoining conservatory, providing further living space with year-round appeal.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from dual-aspect harbour views, while three further double bedrooms provide well-proportioned accommodation for family or guests. A self-contained annexe with its own kitchen and living area adds a further dimension - well-suited to extended family, guests or home working and offering flexibility that few properties at this level can match.

The gardens slope gently to the water's edge, where a private jetty and mooring afford direct access to the harbour - ideal for sailing and boating, with Chichester Harbour's network of channels and creeks immediately on the doorstep. A private mooring is included within the sale, offering secure berth with direct access from the garden.

Frenchmans Creek will appeal to buyers seeking a permanent residence or second home in a prestigious harbourside setting, with outstanding views, private water access and the tranquillity of one of the South Coast's most celebrated and protected waterways.
