Location

The Strand is part of the prestigious private Cakeham Manor Estate located within the popular seaside village of West Wittering.

The village itself offers a selection of local shops, a public house, primary school, church, tennis club, riding school and sailing club. The local area is renowned for its unspoilt Blue Flag sandy beach, in particular, and the associated water sports and sailing activities available there and around Chichester Harbour.

Further afield lies the cathedral city of Chichester, overlooked by the spectacular South Downs with its National Park status.

Description

Located in the heart of the exclusive West Wittering beachfront, this once in a generation opportunity offers direct beach access and unparalleled views onto the Channel across to the Isle of Wight. It is perhaps one of the best positioned houses on the estate and is for sale for the first time in 50 years.

With the majority of bedrooms on the ground floor and living on the first, this beautiful retreat has been tastefully and thoughtfully arranged to create spaces that open on to uninterrupted views to the sea. On arrival, the drive leads to plenty of parking and a hard-standing, particularly useful for keen sailors who might find this a useful space for boat storage. Sat within a plot of just over half an acre, the house is enveloped by level ground, laid to lawn, creating the opportunity for full redevelopment (subject to the necessary consents).

Upon entering, there are three double bedrooms, one with the benefit of direct access to a bathroom with separate shower, this bathroom has a ‘Jack and Jill’ arrangement to the hallway. There is a utility/boot room with side access and a further shower room on this floor.

To the first floor are two further bedrooms and a bathroom with separate WC. The kitchen has been designed as a compact and fully functional space. The showstopping living space, with floor to ceiling windows, looks onto a decked area, with sea views beyond. There is a large dining area and comfortable lounge, with a space to house a woodburning stove.

Outside, the tamarisk trees to the south of the property offer some shelter from the prevailing weather as well as privacy, framing a pathway and gate to the sandy beach beyond. Windward offers a unique and rarely available opportunity to acquire an idyllic home and an exceptional opportunity as a development plot.
