Description
The ground floor offers a spacious sitting room with plenty of natural light, leading to a study/fourth bedroom, ideal for home working or additional guest accommodation. The living/dining room is a fantastic space for entertaining, with doors opening out to the garden. There are also two good-sized bedrooms on this level, along with a utility room and a store/workshop for extra storage.
A key feature is the principal bedroom with an en-suite, a living area/additional bedroom, and a fully equipped kitchenette, all with its own separate access. This setup lends itself well to being a selfcontained annex. It also has its own south-facing enclosed garden, making it ideal for a holiday let, guest accommodation, or extended family. Currently operating as a highly successful Airbnb, it has an excellent track record as an additional income stream.
Outside, you will find a large rear garden benefiting from excellent sun exposure and an enclosed seating area / BBQ space, providing excellent outdoor entertaining options. To the front, there is an equally sun-trapped enclosed garden and parking for multiple cars.
Located in the popular coastal village of East Wittering, Haven Cottage is a fantastic home with flexible living space and a high-quality finish.
