5 bedroom detached house for sale

Elm Tree Cottage is a beautiful and substantial Grade II Listed thatched period property, situated on the highly regarded Elms Lane in the heart of West Wittering. This charming house offers approximately 2,785 sq. ft of accommodation and, while in need of some modernisation, presents a wonderful opportunity to create a truly exceptional village home.




The house occupies a generous plot of around 0.35 of an acre and is within easy walking distance of West Wittering beach, the sailing club, and the beautiful and unspoilt coastal landscape of East Head.

The ground floor accommodation includes a boot room/utility room, a kitchen/breakfast room, and a characterful dining room with an open fireplace. The entrance hall leads to a spacious living/dining room featuring a beautiful inglenook fireplace and a second staircase to the first floor. There is also a downstairs office or bedroom with an en-suite shower room and WC, a hallway with a door to the garden and the main staircase, a further office or potential bedroom, and a larder.

Upstairs, the first floor offers a WC, a family bathroom, a principal bedroom, two further double bedrooms at the eastern end of the house accessed via the second staircase, a smaller double bedroom or walk-in wardrobe, and an additional double bedroom.

Outside, the property enjoys a large garden mainly laid to lawn, with a spacious patio, raised beds, and mature trees. Outbuildings include a shed, a large garage, and a former air raid shelter, all offering potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. A driveway to the side of the house provides off-road parking for several vehicles, and there is an additional garden area to the front, enclosed by a brick wall fronting Elms Lane.
