The space
Our luxury barn apartment ‘The Stables' is located on an equestrian smallholding adjacent to open countryside in the village of Chidham in the heart of the beautiful Chichester Harbour National Landscape and on the edge of the spectacular South Downs National Park.

Situated on the ground floor with level access throughout, wider doorways and a wet room style shower, The Stables is suitable for guests with some limited mobility although it is not adapted for full time wheelchair users.

On the doorstep is all the beauty of the natural harbour and its surroundings and, to the North, all the attractions of the National Park making this the perfect location for anyone who loves the countryside and natural coastline. The area is idyllic for walking, cycling, horse riding or water-based activities. The perfect place to relax and disconnect from the bustle of everyday life.

Just a short drive away are Bosham, the Goodwood Estate, the cathedral City of Chichester and the beautiful South Coast beaches of East & West Wittering, Hayling Island and Bracklesham Bay. To the west lie historic Portsmouth and Southsea, and further to the east the flamboyant seaside town of Brighton.

If you're not travelling by car, The Stables is conveniently located just 5 minutes' walk from the 700 Coastliner bus route (taking you west to Portsmouth or east to Brighton), only 15 minutes' walk from Nutbourne railway station, and just a 1-minute cycle ride off South Coast Cycle Route 2.

The Stables occupies the ground floor of a detached brick-built barn which has been lovingly converted to a very high standard creating a little bit of luxury in the heart of the countryside. Character oak features and comfortable, quality furnishings make this a very cosy and relaxing place to be.

The private entrance door leads into the comfortable lounge, where full height windows allow you to relax on the sofa and take in the view, perhaps read one of the books or play one of the games provided for guests. Here there is a HD Smart TV featuring Freeview, Bluetooth connectivity and enabled for Netflix and Prime Video if you have your own account. Complimentary WiFi is also provided for guests.

The west facing decking area with table and chairs provides the perfect place for al fresco meals and to take in the views over the horse paddocks towards the adjacent farm fields. The decking can be accessed directly from the lounge and or via French doors from the bedroom.

Beyond the lounge is the dining area and well-equipped open plan kitchen with modern integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer. The dining area has an oak table and chairs.

The cosy bedroom has a 6' super king bed which can also be adapted to two twin beds on request. The mattress is superior quality to ensure a good night's sleep beneath the crisp white linens. Here there is plenty of drawer space, a double wardrobe and an oak dressing table and stool. French doors provide a view across the paddocks and lead out directly onto the decking area. These doors have a clever lock that allows for ventilation whilst remaining totally secure.

The large shower room includes a level access wet room style shower with fixed and adjustable shower heads plus complimentary vegan, eco-friendly toiletries are provided for guests' use.

The property is fully central heated and a complimentary welcome pack is provided to get you started when you arrive. Thoughtful touches like USB charging points, hairdryer and luggage storage are all here to help make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Sitting adjacent to a separate stable block and 4 acres of open paddocks where the resident horses graze, The Stables enjoys views from the lounge, bedroom and decking across the paddocks towards the adjacent farmland of Chidham peninsula.

Guests enjoy secure, private parking directly alongside the barn behind electric entrance gates and there is also on-site CCTV for additional peace of mind. So, if you're driving a classic car or just something special to you, you'll be in safe hands here.

Staying in the very heart of the countryside, you can watch the local wildlife and birds from the decking or see the horses grazing in the fields as the wild deer wander through.

During the Spring you may be lucky enough to hear the cuckoos and from Spring through to Autumn you may well see the resident buzzards as they swoop between the trees. Also in the sky you may see the vintage Spitfires which often fly by from Goodwood Aerodrome on summer days. Autumn and Winter are the time to cosy up in the lounge and enjoy beautiful sunsets as the sun dips below the horizon over the harbour waters and the sky glows spectacularly through the treeline.

The closest local pub is just a 5 minute walk away, as is the bus stop and the harbour edge of Bosham Channel where you can join the shoreline path and walk around Chidham peninsula enjoying spectacular views across the Bosham and Thorney channels.

Just a five-minute drive away is the beautiful harbour village of Bosham with its sailing club and historic church, famously featured in the Bayeux Tapestry.

Goodwood Estate is only a short drive away, with its Motor Circuit renowned for The Festival of Speed and The Revival plus the famous horse racing track, home of Glorious Goodwood. The beautiful cathedral city of Chichester is just 10 minutes by car and offers a good selection of shops, restaurants and cafes. For theatre goers there is of course Chichester Festival Theatre with shows and dining options which can be booked online in advance of your stay.
