KEY FEATURES Between West Wittering village and the ultra-prime beachfront properties of East Strand is a band of open countryside. This is where Kestrel stands, enjoying among the most far-reaching and uninterrupted views of any property in West Wittering. Kestrel is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom house of 3074 square feet, set over three floors. The first-floor kitchen/dining/living space connects to a large, east-facing roof terrace, from which an external staircase leads to the garden. Step into the entrance foyer and it becomes clear that for a four-bedroom home, kestrel has a substantial floor area. An open-tread staircase rises up through a roof-height central void. Arriving at kestrel’s first floor you step into a dining area, kitchen and living space that spans the width and 12.5-metre depth of the house. The dining area sits under a void reaching to the roof, punctuated by a glass bridge above. The kitchen area is a sociable space designed around a large central island. The first floor is characterized by large areas of glazing, with views north to the Downs, three tall windows looking east, and an almost entirely glazed end wall to the living area framing views of the coast. On two sides there’s the opportunity to slide open glazing, blurring the relationship between inside and outside spaces. The first outside area is a spacious roof terrace that welcomes the rising sun; the second is a 6.5-metre-wide south-facing balcony. The entire second floor is made up of a Sky Room suite. A glass bridge crosses the central atrium, connecting the bedroom to a dressing room and bathroom. In the bedroom a triangular apex window has wonderful views of the coastal landscape, and two huge top-hung roof lights lift up to create an internal balcony ideal for watching the sun rise. The ground floor provides three further bedrooms, each with its own access to a private terrace through full-height sliding doors. The principal bedroom on the ground floor benefits from a dressing area and ensuite shower room. There is an impressive family bathroom with walk-in shower and large free-standing bath. Access to the internal double garage is provided through a boot/laundry room.

SELLER INSIGHT Kestrel sits in the middle of farmland with a panoramic open landscape vista. The beach can be seen in the distance, as well as the outline of the South Downs and open farmland. There’s just one row of houses between the property and the English Channel, so it’s incredibly quiet and starry with an amazing ambience at night,” says the developer. “West Wittering is a much sought-after location. It’s close to the beautiful cathedral city of Chichester that has a plethora of cultural activities, quirky shops, and restaurants, whilst the harbour offers sailing opportunities, water sports and beautiful walks around the marina. There are great sporting facilities in the area, including polo and golf, as well as kitesurfing and surfing on East and West Wittering Beaches.” “Here at Junnell Homes, we pride ourselves on delivering a bespoke and custom designed living space, so we spent eons of time with our multi award-winning architect, Adam Knibb of Winchester, scribbling on the space plan and moving walls around to ensure we had the optimal flow and light filled rooms that take full advantage of the views. Each area has its own identity as the kitchen creates a sense of drama with a large breakfast bar and sliding doors leading to the balcony (the perfect spot for breakfast), whilst the living room centres around the views and the feature wood burning stove. Our interior designer, Val Plummer at No 19, was fully involved in the decision-making process right down to the choice of door handles and we also brought in specialist bathroom and lighting designers.” “The impressive dining area wows with a full height void reaching right up into the ceiling. It’s flooded with light and beautifully showcases the feature light and amazing glass bridge leading to the private dressing room from the master suite. It’s certainly one of my favourite design aspects, along with the glazed wall on the south side of the living area that offers fantastic views of the coast. Kestrel is a fabulous party house where the new owners can enjoy drinks and BBQs with friends on the balcony and roof terrace whilst taking in the ever-changing view of the coastal landscape. The kitchen creates a seamless movement between functional and aesthetic and it will work best when filled with people and a great vibe.”*
