Maison, Cakeham Road, West Wittering, Chichester, Sussex De L'ouest

A beautifully presented period home offering rustic coastal elegance and exceptional outdoor entertaining spaces, situated in a highly desirable West Sussex coastal village.

Hayes House is an exquisite period property which has been completely renovated and updated by the current owners and has been featured in a number of interior magazines, books and Sunday papers. The property also offers an excellent opportunity to generate an additional separate income.

Featuring handsome white-rendered elevations and sash windows which have all been replaced with new timber double glazed sashes replicated from the originals, the home has been meticulously styled to provide more than 2,900 sq ft of light-filled accommodation, blending rustic coastal charm with contemporary minimalism. Features such as stripped wooden floorboards, exposed ceiling joists, characterful fireplaces and elegant décor create a calming and highly appealing environment throughout.

The welcoming reception hall leads to the principal reception spaces. The generous sitting room features a log-burning stove and bespoke crittall doors opening into the impressive kitchen/breakfast room. Designed for modern family living, this openplan heart of the home features a beautifully appointed kitchen with a butler sink, range cooker and ample space for dining and entertaining. Beyond, the striking dining room extension is a recent addition and benefits from two sets of glazed doors opening onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. A comfortable family room provides an additional reception area, while an adjoining room offers flexibility as a snug, guest bedroom or home office. A pantry and boot room adds further practicality to the layout.

On the first floor, the property offers three beautifully presented bedrooms, a shower room and a striking family bathroom featuring a luxurious freestanding roll-top bath. A spectacular 33ft vaulted bedroom occupies the upper level, flooded with natural light from multiple skylights and showcasing exposed timber beams, creating a distinctive and characterful retreat.
