About this property
Beautiful Harbors Listed Coastguard Cottage, Snowhill, Westwittering
Beautiful Grade 2 listed cottage 200 metres from the sheltered tidal Snowhill Creek at the entrance of Chichester Harbour. With the Sailing Club opposite, and a short walk to the to the famous West Wittering beach, Windsurfing Club, bird reserves and the National Trust sand dunes of East Head.
The cottage is part of a row of former Coastguard Cottages, built around 1833, with small garden to the front and a small yard to the rear. Three bedrooms comprised of double bed, two singles and smaller ground floor bedroom with bunk bed. Cottage is small and compact and perfectly formed! It is cozier than the photos indicate!
Temporary sailing club membership might be available and would require contacting the Sailing Club secretary via their web site. In addition, we have contacts with many of the local sailing instructors. Sailing is possible two to three hours either side of high tide.
