Located on this sought-after private lane, just yards from Itchenor Sailing Club, Byways is an exceptionally stylish newly constructed property combining contemporary and coastal themes, benefiting from partial harbour views, a swimming pool and a south-facing garden.

Full Description

This exceptional coastal residence offers beautifully presented and highly versatile accommodation, thoughtfully designed to maximise light, space and the connection between inside and out. The property combines generous family living areas with excellent ancillary accommodation, creating a practical and stylish home ideally suited to relaxed coastal living, with the added comfort of built-in air conditioning to the principal living spaces and key bedrooms.

The ground floor is centred around a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family room measuring over 32 ft in length. This impressive space forms the heart of the home, featuring a large central island, extensive fitted cabinetry and wide openings onto the terrace. It provides an ideal setting for everyday family life as well as entertaining, with full-height glazing and bi-folding doors drawing in natural light and creating a seamless flow to the garden, swimming pool and outside seating areas.

In addition to the main living space, there is a separate sitting room, a welcoming and exceptionally spacious reception hall, a utility room, shower room and boot room. Together, these rooms contribute to a practical and well-considered layout, perfectly suited to coastal life.

A ground-floor bedroom with en-suite facilities and a mezzanine provides valuable flexibility, whether used as guest accommodation, a private suite for relatives, or an alternative principal bedroom.

The first floor, accessed via a curved staircase, continues the impressive sense of space, with a stunning and particularly generous main bedroom enjoying an en-suite bathroom, reading area (with partial views towards the harbour), dressing area and direct access to a large balcony. This provides a wonderful elevated spot from which to enjoy the garden outlook and surrounding village setting. There are two further first-floor bedrooms, each served by en-suite facilities, making the arrangement especially convenient for family members and visiting guests. Completing the accommodation, there is access to a substantial loft/storage space.

Outside

Byways is arranged for relaxed coastal living and entertaining. The landscaped south-facing garden includes broad paved terraces, a swimming pool, lawned areas and garden shelter, creating several distinct spaces for al fresco dining and socialising. Ample storage is provided for garden equipment, paddleboards, sailing kit, bicycles or general storage, making the property particularly well suited to enjoy all the outstanding benefits of this sought-after location.

The property is approached via an electric gate, where to the front of the property off street parking is provided for a number of vehicles including space for trailer/tender storage.

Location

Occupying a very special and rarely available position, Byways is ideally situated for ease of access to the water and sailing club (approx. 50 yards distant).

Itchenor is a highly regarded harbourside village, best known for its sailing and direct access to the water (at all states of tide). The village has a long-established maritime character, centred around the Itchenor Sailing Club and the public hard, from where there are moorings (subject to availability), launching facilities and seasonal ferry links across the harbour. Its position within the Chichester Harbour National Landscape gives the area a strong sense of openness, with tidal creeks, saltmarsh, footpaths and birdlife forming much of the surrounding scenery.

Despite its peaceful setting, Itchenor is well connected to the surrounding villages and amenities of the Manhood Peninsula. Nearby Birdham, East Wittering and West Wittering provide day-to-day facilities, including shops, cafés, pubs, medical services and schools, while West Wittering’s sandy beach is a short drive away. Chichester, to the north, offers a wider range of shopping, restaurants, cultural facilities and rail services, including connections towards London Victoria, Gatwick Airport, Portsmouth and Southampton.

The wider area is particularly well suited to those who enjoy being outdoors, with sailing, walking, cycling, paddleboarding and coastal pursuits all readily accessible. Goodwood, the South Downs National Park and the broader Sussex coastline are also within easy reach, giving Itchenor a rare combination of harbour village character, coastal recreation and access to larger centres when required.
