Quay House is a beautifully restored Grade II listed home, with origins dating back to the 1520s, thoughtfully evolved over time with later additions in the 1920s and a comprehensive refurbishment completed in 2020/2021. The result is a home that effortlessly bridges centuries of heritage with the expectations of modern living.
Rich in character, the house retains a wealth of original features, exposed oak beams, historic stonework, brick-flagged floors and elegant period windows, all carefully preserved and enhanced through a considered interior scheme. Each space has been individually curated, creating a home that feels both cohesive and full of personality, with a quiet sense of craftsmanship throughout.
At the heart of the home lies a striking vaulted kitchen and breakfast room, where light and volume combine to create a truly exceptional living space. Framed by uninterrupted views across the salt marshes and water beyond, this room connects seamlessly with its setting. A beautifully designed mezzanine above offers a more intimate retreat, an ideal place to pause, unwind, and take in the landscape.
The accommodation is both generous and flexible, currently arranged as five bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a well-conceived ground floor annexe that provides independence for guests or extended family.
Complementing the main house, The Boathouse has been entirely reimagined to offer a sophisticated secondary dwelling. Independently rated, it provides two bedrooms and two bathrooms to the first floor, with a spacious sitting room opening onto a private terrace below. A well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room, study (or occasional third bedroom), and ground floor shower room complete the layout, making it perfectly suited for guests, multi-generational living, or potential income.
Approached via a private gravel driveway with ample parking and electric charging, the setting immediately feels both discreet and established. To the rear, a beautifully enclosed courtyard creates a sheltered, almost Mediterranean atmosphere during the warmer months, centred around a mature yew tree and a remarkable mulberry tree believed to date back to the 16th century. The kitchen opens directly onto this space, allowing for an effortless flow between inside and out, ideal for relaxed summer living.
Beyond, the grounds extend into a thoughtfully landscaped walled garden, offering privacy, maturity, and seasonal interest. A separate field lies to the northwest, historically home to a tennis court and now used as an open recreational space, providing further scope and versatility.
Positioned on the waterfront within the tranquil hamlet of Sidlesham, Quay House enjoys a setting that is both peaceful and remarkably well connected. The area is renowned for its natural beauty, sitting on the edge of the Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve, while the nearby cathedral city of Chichester offers a vibrant mix of culture, dining and retail. From renowned restaurants such as The Crab & Lobster to internationally celebrated arts venues including the Festival Theatre, the location strikes a rare balance between countryside calm and cultural richness.
