About this property
Sleeps 10 plus, parking, wood burner, enclosed garden, WiFi, harbour village.
The first thing to do when you arrive at Cornerstones is to walk or cycle to Birdham Pool and then over the canal into the marina. Here you can grab a coffee at the coffee shop or a breakfast, lunch or dinner at the boathouse. Family gatherings, groups of friends, business travel and romantic breaks. Wittering beaches, Goodwood, Roman City, Sailing, Surfing, Windsurfing, Fishing, Boat trips, Birdwatching, Walking, Swimming, Horse and Goodwood Motor Racing, Horse Riding, Cycling, Restaurants, Bars and Cafes. Chichester and surrounding has so much to offer.
We try and offer families a place where they can relax and enjoy without bringing too much stuff. Ask us for more details but we provide on request high chairs, travel cots, toys and games, a cool box for the beach, buckets and spades and a paddling pool in the garden.
Cornerstones is located in the heart of the village of Birdham. A peaceful location 10 minutes walk from Birdham Pool, 1 minute from the village cricket ground and Church.
Birdham is the perfect location to enjoy the beautiful Chichester harbour, Birdham Pool, West Wittering Beach, East Wittering and Bracklesham Beaches and Chichester Marina. The marina is popular not just with the 'boaties' and 'yachties' but with walkers and cyclists who call into the Boathouse Cafe which opens at 8am for breakfast through to dinner in the evening.
Take a lovely walk across the fields following the harbour to Itchenor and The Ship Inn which has an extensive menu, and during the colder months 2 cosy open fires, quiz nights and mulled wine. From mid May until the end of September daily, and April to October weekends and bank holidays, Andy the ferryman takes people, bikes and dogs over to Bosham on the ferry.
The beautiful sandy beaches of West Wittering are about a 10 minute drive or a 30 minute cycle ride away along the Salterns Way. The Salterns Way is a cycle route that stretches from the centre of Chichester to the sand dunes at East Head. We are very lucky that this cycle route passes right through the village which makes family cycle days easy and so much fun. We would highly recommend that you take advantage of the cycle routes to really make the most of your stay so either bring your bikes or hire them from our local cycle hire shop just around the corner.
Goodwood and all it has to offer is a 20 minute drive away at the foot of the Southdowns.
About the property, Cornerstones is a 5 bedroom home with 2 large double bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and 3 smaller double bedrooms, a bathroom and a 3rd toilet on the ground floor.
The light, bright open plan kitchen with breakfast bar and dining area has a full sized fridge and freezer, dishwasher, microwave and AEG oven and hob as well as a tumble dryer and washing machine. The dining area has a large farmhouse style kitchen table which can seat 10 people, there are also 2 high chairs available on request.
The kitchen overlooks the garden which has a large Webber BBQ and outdoor furniture and is perfect for relaxing in on hot summer days.
There is a chiminea for those chillier evenings and we provide bankets for cuddling up under maybe with a hot chocolate and some toasted marshmallows.
The house is gas centrally heated with a new boiler and a central thermostat. The lounge has a wood burner and we provide logs for guests during the winter. If you have wet clothes, life jackets etc, there is a large airing cupboard with a hanging rail perfect for drying. There is plenty of hot water.
The largest of our bedrooms has a kingsize bed and is big enough to fit in a day bed a put you up bed and travel cot. Bedroom 2 has a double bed and large enough to fit in a put u up bed or a travel cot. The other 3 bedroom are double in size and one has a double bed and the other two have 2 singles in each. All of the rooms have hanging space and hangers.
Both bathrooms have over the bath showers.
We are keen on making sure your stay is as comfortable and stress free as possible. For that reason we provide children's cutlery and plates, stair gates and 2 travel cots.
The two first floor bedrooms are large and able to accommodate the travel cots or trundle beds if you require them for extra guests.

About the host
Hosted by Andrea and Arnie
We just love being by the water. Arnie loves his boats and couldn't be more than a few minutes walk away from one of them. We love to drag our kayaks onto the harbour and go for an early morning paddle. We take our little dog Buddy with us and occasionally get to see a seal! We love cycling and where we live is perfect as we live on the Salterns Way. We have 7 children and 4 grandchildren between us and they have all been brought up in and around the water. We are real foodies! If you want to know where to eat or where to get a great coffee we are the people to ask. Walking is something we do a lot of. We love the coastal and harbour walks locally and when we get a chance we head to Cornwall or the Lake District, two of our favourite places.
Why they chose this property
Location, location, location. We wanted to live in the heart of this beautiful village and over the years have owned 5 properties here between us. We chose this particular property as it is light and bright and light is so important to us. All of the rooms are filled with sunshine on sunny days. There is lots of sky, trees, and peace.
What makes this property unique
Situated in the Harbourside village of Birdham that is within the Chichester Harbour AONB.
The village is on the harbour and the house is a 10 minute walk along Court Barn Lane to Birdham Pool marina and another few minutes into the larger Chichester marina.
The benefit of the location is it is quiet, has beautiful walks from the house to other harbour villages or the beach if you like to walk for a couple of hours which we do.
Our house has space for 10 people, light bright kitchen diner and spacious yet cosy lounge with a wood burner.
The garden is well maintained and is a good size for families and secure for children.
