You might not expect to find a glittering outdoor swimming pool and tennis court in the UK, but this luxurious home aims to impress. Let yourself be wrapped up in splendour, nestled between manicured hedges and towering trees. You’re in your own little world here, although you’re just a five-minute drive from West Wittering’s blue flag beach. Let’s start with the shining jewel of the home – the garden. It’s the epitome of a charming British getaway, from the pretty foliage to the scent of sea mist hanging in the air. There’s nothing better than soaking up the south coast sun by the pool, getting lost in a good book, and occasionally taking a dip. When afternoon rolls around, watch the kids splashing in the pool, sharing a jug of Pimms around the outdoor sofa set. Or perhaps you’ll swap the wine for an energy drink and take to the tennis court. Back inside, you’ll find a contemporary, sleek interior that welcomes families to spend quality time together. Whether that’s making use of the high-spec games room, chatting in the bright conservatory, or cuddling up in front of the fireplace with a good film on. Evenings are best spent preparing food together to be enjoyed around the grand dining table, or firing up the pizza oven for a sunny, alfresco dinner. If cooking isn’t on the cards, Chichester and its extensive selection of eateries is just a fifteen-minute drive away.
