Full Description

Mariners is a superbly appointed detached residence, immaculately presented with spacious accommodation and contemporary design throughout. The property offers three generous double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an exceptional open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room, complemented by beautifully landscaped gardens, extensive grounds, and a detached home office. Peacefully positioned in the heart of a highly sought-after sailing village, it enjoys picturesque countryside walks leading directly from the doorstep to the harbour.

Upon entering, you are welcomed by an impressive L-shaped reception hall, giving access to three double bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite with bespoke fitted wardrobes and a large en-suite bathroom. A further well-appointed family bathroom, featuring a bath, separate shower cubicle, wash basin, and WC, serves the remaining bedrooms.

This spectacular living area is enhanced by bi-folding doors that open onto a broad, neatly paved patio and an exquisitely designed, exceptionally private rear garden—perfect for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.

Mariners is accessed via a private road in a tranquil cul-de-sac, leading to a generous gravel driveway. Double gates open to an additional parking area and a garage, together providing ample space for approximately six vehicles as well as a small dinghy or keel boat.

To the rear, the property enjoys a beautifully maintained and secluded landscaped garden, featuring a neatly kept level lawn, a paved patio area, colourful flower borders, mature hedges, and a raised vegetable bed. Adding further charm and versatility is an impressive octagonal timber summer house/home office, complete with light and power, alongside a practical garden store.

The property occupies a prime position in the heart of Itchenor, within easy walking distance of the village’s amenities. This highly sought-after harbourside village is renowned for its thriving sailing club and extensive network of moorings for boats and yachts (subject to availability). The village also features a charming historic church, a welcoming village hall, and, close to the harbour, the popular Ship Inn public house. Much of the surrounding countryside lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (National Landscape), carefully protected by the Chichester Harbour Conservancy to preserve the area’s unique character and unspoilt charm.

The historic cathedral city of Chichester lies approximately six miles to the north-east and offers a vibrant mix of shopping, dining, and cultural attractions. Residents can enjoy a wide range of leisure and recreational facilities, including a multi-screen cinema, sports centres with swimming pools, and an excellent selection of restaurants, pubs, wine bars, and bistros. Cultural highlights include the award-winning Pallant House Gallery and the internationally renowned Chichester Festival Theatre.
