HAWTHORN HOUSE

In the heart of Old Bosham, a highly regarded harbour village, just one road back from the waterfront, is this exclusive opportunity to purchase this design-led new home ready for occupation.

KEY FEATURES

Nestled in the heart of the charming Old Bosham village, a much-loved harbour village, Hawthorn House offers a rare opportunity to acquire a five-bedroom detached design-led new home. Built on a plot that until purchased for redevelopment had been under the same family ownership for over 60 years. Set in a private, tree-lined cul-de-sac, just one road back from the waterfront, the property is accessed from a large driveway and boasts traditional features, such as clay-tiled roofs, Hampshire Downs brick, and bespoke Oak characteristics.

With rear pedestrian access through the adjacent boat yard into the core of the village, residents can enjoy easy access to the waterfront within minutes. Offering almost 3000 sq. ft of internal floorspace, the property boasts a classic contemporary shaker kitchen by Leicht, complete with Corestone surfaces and premium Bosch appliances. The open-plan room also features designated dining and entertaining spaces with a large roof light and access to the garden. A generous sitting room with a Morso woodburning stove, a study, and a large utility and laundry room with direct access into the double garage with parking beyond complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, all five well-proportioned bedrooms offer delightful views, with two boasting ensuite facilities and the remaining three sharing an elegant family bathroom. Each of the bathrooms features Laufen sanitaryware and Hansgrohe taps & showers and has been designed by Coastal Bathrooms. The first-floor accommodation offers voluminous space with ceiling heights reaching up to 2.7m in places.

The carefully planned garden and gated forecourt feature an expanse of Egyptian sandstone patio that wraps almost entirely around the property, creating many opportunities for entertaining and dining outside. The garden has been landscaped with a carefully selected range of new shrubs, hedging, and trees to add interest and privacy. In addition, the completely paved forecourt provides ample parking and gives access to a large double garage with an electric door.

SELLER INSIGHT

This stunning coastal lodge-style new build has been sympathetically designed to sit sympathetically against the picturesque backdrop of Bosham, a village situated on the shores of Chichester Harbour an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Built on land acquired in 2020 by Junnell Homes, which constructs design-led properties with well-considered internal and external layouts which make the best use of space, the accommodation is superb inside and out. ‘We’ve really taken the surroundings into consideration and harnessed as much natural light as possible and feel we’ve achieved a look and feel which perfectly fits in with the beautiful village,’ explains developer Tim. The plot hosts two homes which share a private drive; Hawthorn House has a double garage and courtyard parking for several cars and large expanses of wide paving providing space for al fresco dining and entertaining.

This excellent property offers a rare opportunity to live in a unique home in a highly desirable location; ‘the house sits in an unrivalled position in this popular village just one road back from the waterfront – being at the end of a private road means it’s nicely tucked away and very private and secluded. It’s an ideal location for those looking for a coastal retreat; if you’re a water sports enthusiast – sailing, paddle boarding, swimming – it really is ideal.’

‘We built Hawthorn House to offer spacious, exclusive elevated living in a beautiful part of the south coast. Laid out over 2 floors it features a galleried landing and a connected orangery, both with roof lights – the whole house is very light and bright.’

‘The principal bedroom is a stand-out space with an en-suite, built-in wardrobe and Juliette balcony. Here there are nice views across a boat yard towards the village centre and church steeple.’

‘The house features all mod cons – the kitchen is fitted with Bosch appliances. An air source heat pump has been fitted to provide heating. When landscaping the garden, we kept some of the original trees and hedging in place to complement the new planting scheme which has been implemented.’

‘Bosham village and harbour has a renowned sailing club, a primary school, a historic church, a couple of great pubs and a café. There are other good schools in the area. Portsmouth, Southampton and Brighton are all within easy reach.’

‘There is so much to enjoy locally, from great walks around the harbour and coast to excellent beaches as well as the picturesque South Downs National Park.’ *
