General Information
Owners Notes
We have lived in Cherries for 16 years, having lived in two other properties in West Wittering since we moved to the village in 1986. We have learnt to appreciate Cherries ideal position, being in one of the quietest locations on this private estate, but at the same time within walking distance of the village centre, foreshore and harbour. In summer our home becomes the focus of our extended family both in the garden and for their outdoor pursuits. In winter we enjoy the space, the peace and the wildlife.
Having twice enlarged our home, which was a two-bedroom property when we bought it, we feel we have done enough, but future options (subject to any permissions) could be to locate a (larger) kitchen in the dining area, and vice versa, something we considered, thus making some provisions in terms of drainage and electricity.
On the east side of the property there is the possibility of a separate annexe with a separate entrance. Again we have provisioned for this having previously rented out the area to life-guards looking for temporary accommodation during the summer.
The large loft above bedrooms four and five could be converted to provide additional accommodation or for a playroom.
The front garden could be remodelled to provide additional parking, and the garage extended at the rear to give additional vehicle or boat storage.
The property has two mains gas boilers and a mains gas aga. One boiler and the electric underfloor heating in the bathroom and en-suite can also be remotely controlled via an App. Super fast broadband is available to the property and we currently have excellent WiFi throughout the house and in the log cabin/office.
We are happy to provide further information and photographs as necessary.
