Weir View, Bosham

About this property

Modern, beautifully presented and convenient, a luxury townhouse on the edge of the village of Bosham with its wonderful quayside and walks around Chichester Harbour.

Built on the banks of the Mill Pond in north Bosham, Weir View presents a great retreat from which to escape for a few restful days away. Set amongst a small cluster of townhouses and private apartments overlooking the weir, this house is in a great location between Chichester and Emsworth. It is just one mile north of Bosham's stunning quayside setting, and only two miles west of the cathedral city of Chichester.

The house is perfect for up to four adults or for a family of five. The living space is bright with good space. Feature doors open out onto the patio and being west facing, the warmth of the evening sun is captured in the longer summer days.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms. The principal bedroom with its Juliet balcony overlooks the weir. It is a lovely bright room with an ensuite shower room. The second bedroom has twin beds and the third bedroom has the single bed. There is a family bathroom which is fitted with a bath and shower attachment above.

The outside patio is a welcoming decked area that opens out onto a lawn that slopes towards the mill pond and the resident ducks. It is completely open which means we regret the house is not suitable for families with children under six years of age.

Bosham and beyond

Chichester Harbour is an area of outstanding natural beauty with a plethora of wildlife which co-exists at ease with the sailing activity that abounds. It is made up of a series of tidal creeks and Bosham is probably the best known of the quayside villages within the harbour and offers much of interest. From Weir View it is only a mile down to the quayside. The coast road round to the quay floods twice daily giving Bosham a changing outlook between low and high water. The church which is prominent in the village dates back to Saxon times, the earliest parts having been constructed during Canute’s reign and it is the only church to be depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry. Bosham is always bustling and is a joy to be part of. The arts and craft centre, a popular visitor attraction contains many small craft shops with their own speciality and the Anchor Bleu pub which is so central to the village and the quay is popular for lunches and has that ‘local’ atmosphere in the evenings.

To walk the coast road around Bosham Reach is a delight offering fine views of the village and beyond towards the South Downs. You will soon arrive at Bosham Hoe and can take the foot ferry that connects with Itchenor, another popular sailing centre.

Two miles east of Bosham is Chichester, which is the cathedral city for Sussex. It is one of the great well-preserved Georgian cities in the UK. Chichester has played a key role in the affairs of Sussex since at least Roman times. The city’s broad streets are packed with listed buildings headed by the towering presence of the cathedral, now home to a family of peregrine falcons who swoop over the city at dusk

The city centre is neatly enclosed within the ancient city walls and this helps to make Chichester compact and pleasant to explore on foot. There are plenty of good shops and restaurants and if you enjoy the theatre the Chichester Festival Theatre is worth booking due not only to the quality of productions but the fact many world premieres are featured here as well.
