The traditional kitchen has a range of fitted cupboards, an attractive dresser unit, space for a range-style cooker, beamed ceiling and feature exposed-beam wall.
A stable door provides access to the rear garden. On the first floor are two bedrooms, with the property retaining many of the features and proportions associated with a traditional period cottage.

Just south of the city lies Chichester Harbour, its calm and picturesque waters attracting many sailors and water sports enthusiasts and lying at the entrance to the harbour are the sandy beaches of both West Wittering (a blue flag beach) and East Head, the latter offering well preserved sand dunes.
