The White Cottage

About this property

This beautiful, detached holiday home is located along a leafy lane just outside the main village of Birdham, only three miles from Chichester. From the moment you step inside this immaculately presented cottage you will feel a sense of relaxation. Large, light and beautifully furnished, this lovely cottage offers couples and families the ideal place to stay when visiting this part of the South Coast. Four attractive bedrooms are each furnished with care and attention to detail so that guests can enjoy a truly relaxing holiday. The ground floor bedroom with its adult-size bunk beds and en-suite shower room will have children (young and old) looking forward to bedtime! With its beachy theme, books, games and younger girl's dressing table and mirror, parents will find their offspring quietly absorbed for hours on end. Meanwhile, the adults can chat and exchange views over a long, lingering meal in the large garden room of this lovely cottage where, be it summer or winter, it offers a pleasant atmosphere with either heat or fans to maintain a comfortable temperature all year round. Alternatively, guests can venture through the French doors and dine alfresco on the patio overlooking the well-established, extensive gardens that are also a joy to explore, with views over to Chichester Cathedral and Goodwood with only countryside in between. Just remember the unfenced pond, which also shares this lovely garden as you amble along! Only a few minutes from The White Cottage are dozens of places to visit if sailing, watersports or the coastline take your interest. Why not explore the numerous walks along the canals and the marina, just two miles away, where you can promise yourself that one day you will have a yacht like that? West Wittering is said to have the sandiest beach in Sussex, so make for there to feel the sand between your toes. Alternatively, pull on a wet-suit and enjoy a day of watersports where the bay waves are excellent at any time of year. Chichester city centre is only a short drive away and here there are cobbled streets and winding lanes, restaurants, shops, tea rooms, museums, theatres and a towering cathedral; a perfect choice for a day out with a difference. This part of the Sussex coastline has so much to offer to all ages which will have you coming back again and again.

The sailing village of Birdham in West Sussex sits on Chichester Harbour shore and is home to a locked marina. With attractive harbour views, Birdham is an interesting place to enjoy walks, whilst taking in the stunning views on offer, including those at the Manhood Peninsula. Birdham is just a few miles from some lovely, safe beaches at both Bracklesham Bay and also West Wittering Beach which is said to be the sandiest beach in West Sussex.
