Surrounded by pretty cottage gardens, this is a delightful place to base yourself when visiting the lovely area of Chichester and its surroundings. Only 10 minutes from the centre of Chichester, 15 minutes from Goodwood and 15 minutes from West Wittering beach, there is plenty to see and do.

The space
This recently extended and modernized apartment is completely self-contained with its own private entrance. As you enter, step into the light and airy open-plan sitting/dining room. There is a lovely large sofa in the sitting area, and a sweet dining table and chair set in the window, overlooking the front gardens. The large bedroom, overlooking the front garden has a spacious en-suite shower room. The pretty cottage garden surrounds the apartment and there are plenty of cosy seating areas to enjoy a quiet moment!

The sitting area with hardwood floor and light décor offers a comfortable leather two-seater settee, wicker chair, a traditional family trunk as a coffee table, wall-mounted smart TV with Sky Freeview and free Wi-Fi.
Sited by the front window is a round dining table and two chairs, which also easily serves as a laptop-friendly workspace with free Wi-Fi. There are shutters at the window, which you can adjust for light and privacy.

The fully-equipped kitchen provides a double induction hob, combination oven/grill/microwave, fridge, cupboard space, some with crockery and glassware, drawers with cutlery, cooking utensils and pans. There are also bins for waste separation and a washer-dryer for longer stays.
A welcome tray with a selection of teas, coffee and biscuits awaits you. Olive oil and salt and pepper is also supplied for your cooking and dining.

The generous tranquil bedroom provides ample cupboard and drawer space, single beds which are usually made up as a superking-size, but can also be prepared as twin beds, an armchair and a selection of books. For those cooler days, there is underfloor heating in this room while the other rooms have radiators. The large window provides a view of flower beds and the shutters provide you with privacy, light and air control.

The modernised en-suite bathroom comprises a generous shower with drench and ordinary shower heads, wash basin, toilet and fitted bathroom furniture with plenty of storage space and an illuminated mirror. You will also find complementary toiletries, quality towels and a hairdryer.

You will have access to the whole apartment. I won’t be around in person, however, my property is professionally managed by Tom and Clare at Pass The Keys, Chichester. The apartment is professionally cleaned and the linen and towels are replaced with freshly laundered supplies between each stay. Remote self check-in gives flexibility for late arrivals and 24/7 guest support is on hand should you need any assistance during your stay.

    • Brett Williams 07/08/2024
      Nice location. Fair property.. Lovely location in a nice quiet area. About 1.5 miles from Chichester. You can walk, (although pavements are a bit hit and miss). Bus stop just at the top of the road which is ideal (costs £2) and takes less than ten minutes drive. Free car parking available. Apartment was quite clean and tidy and reasonably well priced for the time of year I stayed (Glorious Goodwood races). Make sure you are aware of the NON REFUNDABLE deposit which you have to pay before arrival. There are two ‘options’. I paid the £10. You will then be provided with the key code. You also have to complete a tedious verification process which involves sending selfies, Photo ID etc. I wasn’t aware of this when I did the booking, The property is basically a ‘lean to’ attached to the main house so you can hear the owners having dinner etc, so I guess they could hear me, which makes you feel you have to tip toe around to not make any noise. It was the hottest week of the year, so I opened the bedroom windows (which are on a latch and only open about 5 inches) before going to work at the races but when I cane back one evening I noticed somebody had been in and closed them. I found this quite intrusive. It is quite muggy and humid in the property, and the bedding was always very damp, presumably because there is no air conditioning (which is fair enough) but not much air circulation anyway so everything stays damp and my clothes in the wardrobe smelt of mildew. I stayed there 5 nights but was never asked if everything was ok or if I needed a change of bedding/towels, or even a fan, which I did find quite surprising bearing in mind the temperature that week! The owner did come out to say hello on the day I arrived, but I got the feeling, and judged on her demeanour, it was more to let me know that I’d arrived early and she wasn’t happy about it. Originally I was due to check in at 4pm, but after a long 4 1/2 hour drive, the roads in the surrounding areas were so busy I decided to go the property, drop bags off and then head off to the beach, rather than the other way around. I did introduce myself and shake the owners hand but she didn’t really want to reciprocate and didn’t introduce herself. It wasn’t a particularly welcoming vibe whilst staying there and, while it’s in a great location, personally, I’d look elsewhere in the future. ... Read full reviewClose

      A lovely little apartment in a very convenient location.. We thought the location was perfect and the apartment was absolutely charming. I was able to sit in the sun in a little private garden.. The only thing missing were glasses for water. No big deal! ... Read full reviewClose
