Steeped in history and charm, Galleon House is believed to date back to circa 1702. Nestled in the heart of a highly sought-after sailing village, this Grade II Listed property offers deceptively spacious accommodation with captivating glimpses of the harbour from two of the first-floor bedrooms. The home exudes character throughout, featuring an array of period details, including intricate cornicing and open fireplaces.
The ground floor boasts an elegant drawing room with a welcoming open fireplace, seamlessly leading into an adjoining reception room. Additional living areas include a family room, a formal dining room and a versatile study, leading onto a downstair shower room. The kitchen/breakfast room offers views over the delightful courtyard garden, while the adjacent glazed garden room provides a serene spot to relax. Practical features include a utility area with walk-in storage, a cloakroom, utility room and access to a cellar, located beneath the drawing room.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys picturesque glimpses of the harbour and benefits from an en suite bathroom and a dressing room, which could alternatively serve as a fourth bedroom. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first-floor accommodation.
Externally, Galleon House features off-road parking at the front and an enclosed, walled courtyard garden at the rear, with access to a garden store room with views towards Bosham church.
Location
The beautiful village of Bosham is one of the most highly sought after locations on the Sussex coast, with a thriving local community and sailing scene. The village has an ancient Saxon Church, featured in the Bayeux Tapestry, Quay Meadow and Bosham Sailing Club. There is an arts and crafts centre, a hotel, pubs and cafes. To the north of the village there is a post office/ store and medical centre, a further selection of local shops and a railway station. This provides services running to London Victoria via Chichester, or London Waterloo via Havant.
The cathedral city of Chichester lies some five miles to the east and provides a comprehensive range of facilities around a partly pedestrianised centre. It is home to the renowned Chichester Festival Theatre and award-winning Pallant House Gallery. While sailing is probably the premier pastime locally and throughout Chichester Harbour, other leisure activities include a number of golf courses, windsurfing and watersports generally from the renowned West Wittering beach amongst others, and the many facilities of the Goodwood Estate; this includes the internationally known race course, private health club and the revival of the historic motor circuit.
