The space
I am thrilled to welcome you to my family home, an original Arts and Crafts era house, located on Bosham Quay—one of the most idyllic spots on the South Coast—with spectacular views from every room.
Ground Floor:
As you come down the driveway and approach the house, immediately on your left, you will see the private slipway into the harbour, and there is parking for 5 cars. Enter through the front door into the kitchen area with original cabinetry from when the house was built. As you head down the hallway, on the left-hand side, there is a twin bedded room with views out to the harbour and quayside. There is a shower room and a separate WC downstairs. The sitting room, with its views of Quay Meadow and the harbour, is a charming room for spending time in or relaxing in front of the smart TV . Beyond the sitting room is the glazed dining room, which sits right on the harbour wall. This is a fabulous place to dine with friends and family as you watch the boats and sailing happening right there on the Bosham waterfront.
First Floor:
As you head up the original oak staircase to the landing, more spectacular views await you of the quayside and the sailing club. There are two single bedrooms, both with hand wash basins. There is a family bathroom, and further along are the two spacious super king bedrooms, one of which has an ensuite bathroom. There is plenty of storage for clothes.
Outside:
The garden runs along the harbour wall, and there is a private slipway for launching dinghies or kayaks. There are public footpaths right outside the property, which take you along the water's edge but are not accessible at high tide. Just outside the property is Quay Meadow, another lovely place to sit and watch the world go by, and Holy Trinity Church, which dates back to Saxon times and is depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry as the location where King Harold stayed before heading to Normandy. It is said that King Canute's daughter is buried in the church.
Guest access
There is parking for 5 cars at the property, 3 of which can be parked right outside the front door. There is a local bus service with stops nearby with buses to Chichester. It is advisable to have a car to get around as this is a rural location.
Other things to note
This is an old and special home with many period and original features. As such it may not suit those who are looking for modern or high tech amenities. We ask you to please have the utmost respect for the property and it's furnishings.
The Slip is an original Arts and Crafts house designed by the renowned G. Blair Imrie and T. Angell and built in the early 1900s. Whilst the building is well looked after it features the characteristics of an old building including the original Crittall windows which can be draughty in a gale.
The floors can be slippery when wet and it's best to keep external doors shut to prevent interior doors slamming in the sea breeze.
The property is surrounded by sea walls which children can easily climb on, they must be supervised at all times.
The Wi-Fi can be patchy in the house, but it's good in the sitting room and there is good 4G internet.
