Crooked Lane, Birdham, Chichester, West Sussex, PO20

Marine Cottage is a charming former workers cottage, ideal for sailing enthusiasts, located close to Birdham Pool Marina (0.8 miles), with a private wrap around garden, and ample parking with room for boat/trailer storage.

A most attractive semi-detached property with rendered and tile hung elevations, built circa 1875, ideally situated in sought after Birdham, and arranged over two floors with three bedrooms and a garage addition with versatile space above. Situated on Crooked Lane, Marine Cottage is approached by a five-bar gate which gives access to a considerable area of offroad parking, fully enclosed with mature planted borders.

On entering the property an entrance hall provides immediate access to a comfortable sitting room, with a brick-built fireplace that houses a wood burner. The sitting room flows into the dual aspect dining room, with a display recess space that could house a desk, and French doors to the garden. The kitchen/ breakfast room is L-shaped providing two defined spaces. The kitchen is fitted with both base and eye level units and a view of the garden.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a lovely room with a defined dressing area with built in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. Bedroom two is a double bedroom, whilst bedroom three is a single that would also work well as a study. A family bathroom services these two rooms.

The garden is very private and wraps around the side and rear of the property. There is a paved entertainment terrace with room for a garden set, an area of lawn and mature planted borders. There is an additional paved and shady sitting area to the side, and a garden shed.

The garage, with external power point, is located adjacent to the property. This space is currently purposed as a utility room and a cloakroom with a wooden floor whilst a hatch with fold down ladder gives access to a generous, fully boarded loft space with a window above. NB Subject to the usual consents, the garage building has annexe potential.
