Moonstones, Moreton Road, Chichester, PO18 8LL

Occupying an enviable corner plot position, with views across a meadow to Bosham Channel, a detached family house originally built in the 1970s.

The current configuration is four bedrooms, with a sitting room and study, kitchen/breakfast room and garage.

Now in need of refurbishment, a prospective purchaser may wish to look into obtaining planning permission to knock down the house and replace with a modern contemporary sailing home.

The house sits in a plot of 0.22 acres, and has an additional parcel of land adjacent to the west, bringing the total area of land to 0.38 acres.

Bosham is perhaps the prettiest of villages on Chichester Harbour and one of the premier centres for sailing on the south coast with a ready supply of moorings and a thriving sailing club which hosts one of the largest fleets of classic day boats in the country.

The village has an interesting history with the chancel of its Saxon church featuring in the Bayeux Tapestry and also having a claim as being the location where King Canute tried to hold back the rising tide.

The village has an active local community with a primary school, two pubs and a very popular hotel/restaurant, tea rooms and an arts and crafts centre.

A little further to the north is a well-stocked farm shop, sub post office and medical centre.

Sailing is the premier past time in the immediate area but other recreational activities are well catered for. Golf courses can be found at Goodwood, Fontwell and Hunston.

West Wittering can be found within approximately 10 miles and has stunning blue flag beaches and the National Trust Reserve at East Head.

Bosham village has its own railway halt providing a connection to either Chichester or Havant both of which provide regular services to London Victoria and Waterloo respectively.
