About this property

Beachfront Thatched Cottage in West Wittering – Sleeps 8, Garden, Parking, Pets

The Thatched Cottage offers a rare opportunity to holiday right on the white sandy beach in West Wittering. This beautiful and traditional thatched family home has charm in abundance, a real combination of old and new. Located on East Strand in the prestigious private Cakeham Estate, the West Wittering beach car park with cafe and surf school is just a five to ten minute walk away and its a lovely stroll up to the National Trust's East Head. West Wittering village is a couple of minutes in the car and East Wittering village with its extensive amenities is just five minutes in the car or a leisurely 20 minute walk down the beach.

The house sleeps up to 8 guests in 4 upstairs bedrooms. Comprising:

Bedroom 1 - Master bedroom with king size bed and en-suite
Bedroom 2 - King size bed and sea views
Bedroom 3 - King size bed and sea views
Bedroom 4 - Queen size bed

The spacious master bedroom enjoys a king size bed, beautiful sea views and a newly modernised en-suite bathroom with bath and over bath shower. Two further bedrooms with king size beds also enjoy sea views. The fourth smaller bedroom faces the rear garden with views of the countryside beyond. It has a smaller queen sized bed, still suitable for a couple or possibly a single person. There is a family bathroom upstairs with walk in shower and there is an additional WC next to the front door downstairs.

The downstairs living areas are extensive. The kitchen, with garden access, has been completely modernised with new units and brand new modern and high end appliances. Off the entrance hall is the spacious dining room (with kitchen access via a hatch). The dining table sits in front of large bay patio doors with access out to the extensive gardens and views of the sea through the pretty arched gate at the end of the brick path. Off the dining area is the comfortable sitting room with sofas and smart TV and beyond the sitting room, a games room with table tennis table.

The Thatched Cottage sits within an extensive 1.5 acre plot . The rear of the property has a very large lawn area with gravel drive accessing the property from East Strand. There is ample parking for up to 6 vehicles at least. The gardens surround the property with more lawn and bedded areas on the beach front side as well as patio for outdoor dining and charcoal BBQ. The beach is just metres away from the property and is accessed through the pretty arched gate so holiday makers have the best of both worlds, the beach right on their doorstep but complete privacy whilst enjoying some precious family time in the house and gardens.

The Thatched Cottage is a unique opportunity to enjoy a traditional seaside holiday home but in the most prestigious area of West Wittering beach.

The Thatched Cottage is a like a dream house from a storybook. Extremely well stocked kitchen, plenty of comfortable seating. The beds are very comfortable. The grounds are beautiful and the location unbeatable.

80th Birthday celebration

Fairytale House in one of the best locations on the south coast direct access to beach with wonderful walks direct from the door to the glorious Sandy beach at East Head. All our family including Rustie, flora and Bumble our dogs loved it.

Perfect break in Wittering

We had a lovely week in April at the Thatched Cottage. The house is in prime location, right on the beach, and the garden is large, open and sheltered- perfect for games with the kids on the lawn. The cottage itself is spacious and charming - it feels like a real home from home, with genuine character and soul, unlike other rentals we have experienced elsewhere which can feel commercial and soulless. The kitchen was clean and well equipped with the basics you need for a week - plenty of dish soap, tea and coffee. We would love to return.
