Stunning Home in Pretty Seaside Village with Seasonal Pool and Large Garden
If you are looking for a fabulous home from home in West Sussex for your party of up to 8 look then no further! This stunningly pretty and spacious family home sleeps 8 in four large bedrooms and is located right in the centre of the beautiful village Itchenor situated in the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Its large kitchen/dining room and main sitting room each provide all the space you need for the times you want to be together. The cosy second sitting room with open fire place provides a refuge in which you might chose to enjoy some quieter moments.
The house is surrounded on three sides by a secluded and well stocked garden and has a large south facing terrace overlooking a 32 ft x 16 ft private heated swimming pool.
The pool is open with heating and servicing included in the rental from June to August inclusive. It is also available in April, May, September and October by prior arrangement. Please enquire at time of booking.
Adjacent to the terrace, with its comfortable rattan sofa set and four sun loungers, is an attractive vine and wisteria covered pergola providing a Mediterranean style al fresco dining area complete with teak table and chairs, festival lighting and barbecue.
Upstairs the house provides four large bedrooms comprising three double bedrooms each with en suite facilities and one twin bedroom with its own dedicated bathroom. Two of the double bedrooms have super king size (6 ft x 6 ft 6 ins) beds, one of which can be made up as twin beds, and one has a king size bed (5 ft x 6 ft 6 ins).
Downstairs the house comprises two light and airy dual aspect sitting rooms (each with two comfortable sofas), a large kitchen/dining room with two pairs of French windows opening on to a sunny south facing terrace and pool, spacious hall, downstairs wc, utility and cloak room and an additional shower room with wc. See below for further details of facilities in each room.
The large fully equipped kitchen/dining room (24ft x 16ft) includes a 7 burner double oven range cooker, Miele dishwasher, American style fridge freezer, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine, granite work tops and island unit with two bar stools, oak dining table with 10 contemporary dining chairs and an extensive range of kitchen utensils, cutlery, crockery and glassware.
The larger sitting room (22ft X 13ft) has extensive and comfortable soft furnishings including two large sofas, suede bean bag, 55 inch Samsung TV (all terrestrial channels and pre-loaded with apps including Netflix, iPlayer, Amazon Prime, etc), surround sound, Humax Freeview TV Player and Recorder, CD/DVD player, Apple TV and Spotify connection for your own smartphone music collection.

The house is 100 yards from The Ship, Itchenor's local pub/restaurant, 200 yards from Itchenor Sailing Club and 400 yards from the harbour front. The popular West Wittering beach and East Head (National Trust) are just three miles away by car or a scenic one hour walk along a path running beside the harbour. There are many beautiful walks and cycle rides nearby and the historic City of Chichester is approximately 7 miles away with its famous theatre and cathedral.

About the host
Hosted by Janet and Michael Lindsay
My husband Michael and I live and work in London and bought this house as a holiday and weekend home in 2006 after renting in Itchenor for 5 years. With the help of our excellent local architect Joanna Jefferson and our skilled team of builders we virtually rebuilt the house, equipping it with every modern convenience whilst retaining the best of its original features. It has the true feeling of a family home as many guests have attested.
Our two children are now both grown up and, whilst we and they still love to visit Itchenor, we use the house less frequently than we did when the children were younger and have started to make it available to others.
We have always gained so much from our trips to Itchenor for holidays and short breaks. I am sure you will also.

Why they chose this property
We originally bought the house so my husband could indulge his passion for sailing and our two children could learn to sail also. With Itchenor Sailing Club just 200 yards away the location could not be more convenient.
Since then the whole family has fallen in love with Itchenor and all that it has to offer in addition to sailing. Picnics on the beach at West Wittering and walks from the house along the harbour front (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and also around East Head (National Trust) are particular highlights for us.
