Sitting areas with lighting are arranged around the heated swimming pool of approximately 45' x 14'6 with heat pump and electric solar panel cover, and steps down to the lawned garden. Well established borders are stocked with spring bulbs, perennials and evergreen shrubs, whilst there are a number of mature trees including a beautiful magnolia and impressive horse chestnut creating an attractive focal point.

Beyond the formal gardens further land lies to the west and south, within which the approximate third of a mile go-kart track and golf range area are located and including an area of mixed woodland and open field to the south. This additional land entirely surrounds the property, protecting it and giving it privacy with a further field and wild area of garden to the east. In all some 26.25 acres.
Location

The hamlet has a parish church and local shopping facilities and a railway station can be found in the nearby town of Barnham some 3 miles to the south-east. The Goodwood estate lies a few miles away to the north with its own private country club, hosting the annual Festival of Speed and the September Revival meeting at its historic motor circuit and a full horse racing calendar. To the south, the waters of Chichester Harbour and The Solent provide some of the most popular sailing facilities within easy reach of London most notably there are sailing clubs at Itchenor, Bosham and Chichester Marina.
