High Street, Bosham, PO18 8LR

DESCRIPTION: Set directly on the quay, this distinctive detached home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property where all principal rooms enjoy panoramic views across the water—whether at high tide, when the sea laps against the wall, or at low tide, revealing the wildlife-rich foreshore.

The house provides well-balanced and versatile accommodation extending to approximately 1,769 sq. ft, including an outbuilding.

The interior centres around a large, 27-foot sitting and dining room with full-height picture windows and glazed doors opening directly onto the front terrace.

The dual-aspect space is bright and expansive, ideal for entertaining while enjoying the exceptional views. The kitchen/breakfast room offers space for informal dining and retains its Aga.

A separate utility room, ground floor cloakroom, and entrance hall complete the ground floor layout. Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, all with views over the harbour.

The principal bedroom is particularly generous being double aspect with views over the harbour and towards the Church and is accompanied by two bathrooms serving the first floor.

Externally, the house enjoys two private terraces, including a wonderful south-westerly facing patio—perfect for al fresco dining and watching the ever-changing light over the water.

Although centrally located, the terraces enjoy a degree of privacy, being screened from neighbouring homes.

There is a second entrance to the side, while a rear twitten provides access at high tide, including wide gates allowing dinghy or small boat access, and a dedicated gear store.

The property offers an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to update and personalise the house to their own taste and specification.

With its extraordinary position, harbourside frontage, and walking access to Bosham Sailing Club and the Anchor Bleu pub, Oysters is ideal as a full-time residence, a weekend retreat, or as a high-quality holiday let.

LOCATION: Bosham is one of the most picturesque and historic villages on the South Coast, nestled on the edge of Chichester Harbour within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Renowned for its maritime heritage, charming flint and brick architecture, and tidal quay, Bosham remains one of the most desirable and recognisable harbour villages in the region.

The heart of the village centres around its medieval church—St.

Peter’s—believed to be depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry, and the popular Anchor Bleu public house, both positioned directly on the waterfront.

The quayside is a hub for local sailors and visitors alike, with a thriving sailing club, boutique shops, cafés, and artists’ galleries all contributing to Bosham’s unique coastal character.

Bosham’s tidal nature brings an ever-changing landscape, offering beautiful walks along the shoreline and a rare tranquillity, especially at high tide when the road briefly disappears beneath the water.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the village is ideally placed for sailing, paddleboarding, walking, birdwatching, and cycling, with access to the wider Chichester Harbour and South Downs National Park.

Despite its peaceful charm, Bosham is conveniently located just three miles west of Chichester, with its wide range of shops, cultural attractions—including the renowned Festival Theatre—and excellent rail connections to London.

Bosham itself has a primary school, train station (on the Portsmouth to London line), and good road links via the A259 and A27. INFORMATION: SERVICES: Mains water and electricity. Electric Heating.
