Situation

The Red House occupies a marvellous position on a private road, in an Area of Outstanding National Beauty and backing onto Birdham Pool, with its 18th Century tidal mill. It should be noted that this property has particular interest to sailing enthusiasts as yacht berths are available immediately beyond the garden by arrangement with Birdham Shipyard. Chichester Marina and yacht club lie within approximately 150 metres, with chandlery and shipyard facilities available.

West Wittering, to the south, is famous for its glorious sandy beaches and good bathing. There are also many miles of delightful footpaths from which to enjoy the Harbour. Chichester, to the north, offers the renowned Festival Theatre, ancient cathedral, galleries, museums and restaurants. Leisure facilities within the area include sailing as well as horseracing and motoring events at Goodwood. Chichester has a mainline railway station with regular services to London (Victoria) and Gatwick whilst Havant, to the west, offers a fast service to London (Waterloo). The A27 offers convenient road connections to the East and West, whilst there is excellent schooling in the area including the well regarded local primary school, Bishop Luffa school, The Prebendal School, Westbourne House and Portsmouth Grammar School.
