Spinney Lane, Itchenor, PO20

Tucked away on the highly desirable and private Spinney Lane in the heart of the charming coastal village of Itchenor, this handsome and substantial detached bungalow offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully positioned home in one of Chichester Harbour’s most exclusive settings. With its generous proportions, mature gardens and south-facing principal rooms, the property presents flexible accommodation ideal for both family living and entertaining, whilst also offering considerable potential for modernisation or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.
The property is arranged over one floor and is currently configured to provide 3 to 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms and a principal suite, offering scope to suit a variety of living arrangements. A welcoming entrance porch opens into a spacious central reception hall, leading through to a large sitting room that enjoys a delightful southerly outlook over the rear garden. Adjoining this is a formal dining room, perfect for entertaining, and a bright garden room that floods the space with natural light and provides a tranquil retreat overlooking the grounds. The well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a comprehensive range of units and has space for informal dining. The bedroom accommodation is equally flexible, with the potential to use one of the rooms as a study or additional living space if desired. The principal bedroom benefits from a large dressing room with fitted wardrobes, and leading through to a private ensuite bath and shower room, whilst the additional 2 double bedrooms are served by a further bath/shower room. Throughout, the property is presented in good order, but would benefit from some updating, providing the opportunity to tailor the interiors to suit individual tastes and requirements.

Outside

This charming home sits within a generous plot of approximately 0.8 of an acre, with mature, well maintained gardens that form a key highlight of the property. The lawned garden to the rear stretches out from the house and enjoys a wonderfully private and sunny aspect. A swimming pool provides an ideal setting for summer relaxation, while a number of useful outbuildings including a small workshop and several garden sheds offer additional storage and practical space for gardening or hobbies. This is a rare opportunity to secure a significant plot in one of West Sussex’s most sought-after coastal locations.
