Description

Marine House sits in a quiet residential area of East Wittering, just a minute or two from the beach. With four different social areas and five bedrooms sleeping up to 9 guests, this modern seaside holiday home on the Sussex coast is ideal for large family gatherings and other responsible groups.

The entrance hall meanders into a large central atrium, with stripped floorboards and a double-height ceiling looking up towards the first floor sitting room (open fire not in use). Sliding doors reveal the games room, featuring a full-size pool table (50p per game) for family potting contests with just a hint of healthy competition!

The games room is open plan into the dining room and kitchen, looking out over the garden through wide sliding doors. The large table sits next to an ornamental log burner (not in use), and the kitchen comes fully loaded all the way to an espresso machine and a small utility room to the side. Stairs from the entrance hall take you to the spacious first floor sitting room with large Smart TV, offering tantalising glimpses of sparkling sea views between the rooftops opposite. From here you really get an idea of just how close this Witterings beach house is to the beautiful South Coast, barely 100 metres away.

There is accommodation for 8 guests in four bedrooms on the ground floor: the master king size with en-suite wet room & WC, two further king size bedrooms and a twin. Upstairs and tucked behind the sitting room, there is a cosy single bedroom ideal for a guest who would prefer a little more privacy – or a secret kids’ hideaway. Along with the large en-suite shower, also on the ground floor there is a family bathroom with WC and a shower over bath, and a further separate WC.

Sliding doors open wide from the dining area to the south-facing rear garden, where there is an outside dining table and lounge seating on the patio, plenty of space for relaxing in the Sussex sun on the loungers, and play time with the kids on the lawn. A perfect wind-down spot before more seaside adventures tomorrow.

Local area

With its shallow waters revealing a vast swathe of sand at low tide, East Wittering is a hidden gem with a quieter beachfront than its famous sister village to the west. It offers a Co-op/Tesco Express plus a good butchers and deli, along with several pubs/bars, restaurants, takeaways and surf/watersports shops all within a 5-minute walk. Larger supermarkets are available in Chichester, Selsey and Bognor Regis all a short drive away. There are some great restaurants nearby, including the 18th century Lamb Inn 2 miles away, the excellent Crab and Lobster Gastropub at Sidlesham Quay, and CHK Italian near Birdham.

Laid back beach life is what Marine House is all about. To stretch your legs, head out along the coastline to Bracklesham Bay or the famous sand dunes of West Wittering. If you want to explore the area a little further then Pagham Harbour to the east and Chichester Harbour to the west are both areas of outstanding natural beauty, and a haven for unusual birds, wildlife and nature conservation, along with sailing centres at Itchenor and Bosham. For a family day trip, head over to Butlins in Bognor Regis with its indoor and outdoor water park ‘Splashworld’, and a range of entertainment and rides. Petite and cosmopolitan, the cathedral city of Chichester is only seven miles away offering an excellent range of independent and high street shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Chichester Festival Theatre is well worth a visit, famous for its quality of theatre productions many of which premiere here before moving on to London. Just north of Chichester, the famous Goodwood Estate includes a motor circuit, racecourse, golf course and aerodrome and is home to the world-renowned Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival and Glorious Goodwood (Qatar Festival).

Great location

Great house for a large family holiday. Well equipped. Superb location - less than 5 minutes to the fantastic beach (stony at high tide but large sandy beach as tide goes down) & less than 5 mins to the local well equipped shops and eateries.

Wow At Wittering

The house was excellent for our needs. We are a family of ten. Six adults, 2 children of ten, one in a wheelchair. 2 younger children. The kitchen was good for making meals together and the dining area big enough for us all. There is an en-suite shower room, another bathroom with a bath and a shower above. Nice garden and garden furniture. Parking in the driveway for our 3 cars. It's 2 minutes walk to the beach. Shops and cafes very nearby. It worked well for us. Lucie is an excellent host and communicated very well, answering all our queries. Thank you Lucie! Cecily

Fabulous house, right by the beach.

The hosts were accommodating, quick to respond and very friendly. The house was in a perfect location right next to the beach and very clean and spacious. A perfect weekend away.
