Felpham Village, West Sussex, PO22 7NZ

'I never knew it was there !' - A phrase often heard, even from locals, when revealing the whereabouts of this CONVERTED STABLE, reputed to date , in part, from the 16 Century and it is easy to imagine the farmers leading their cart horses along the tracks to the fields once surrounding the farm buildings.

Secreted at the end of a gravelled driveway, the property was originally converted to a dwelling about 100 years ago, but has undergone significant changes over the intervening years.

Reflecting its age, the house features an abundance of exposed beams (including one re-purposed from a shipwreck), ledged and braced doors; oak strip flooring, plus flint and brick walls.

Located right in the centre of this seaside village, the shops are virtually 'on the doorstep', whilst the beach, Sailing Club, and pubs are within easy reach.

More comprehensive facilities are available in Bognor Regis, some 1.5 miles to the west, along with major retailers such as Tesco, M and S, plus Sainsbury's.

Direct railway access to London Victoria is available from the main line station at Bognor.

Apart from the seaside, the leisure options of the South Downs National Park lie within 10 miles, whilst the historical centres of Arundel and Chichester prove another local draw.

The secluded location makes it difficult to see from the outside, so why not contact May's for an appointment to view - it's the only way to experience the special atmosphere of this unique property.
