About this property

Lovely studio apartment in grounds of beautiful renovated barn near Chichester.

The Sail Loft, Highleigh is set within the grounds and adjacent to a meticulously renoved 17th Century Sussex threshing Barn, Sunnybrook Barn, now a family home. The quiet hamlet of Highleigh, just 4 miles south of the historic City of Chichester with its Cathedral and Theatre. Very close are the natural harbours of Chichester and Pagham to enjoy the wildlife and walks or water sports. The beautiful, well known, sandy beaches at West Wittering are just 10 mins drive away, or just walk or cycle from the door to enjoy the wonderful views of the countryside and coast. Goodwood Estate with its many famous motoring and racing events and aero club, is within 5 miles, and the South Downs National Park just to the North of Chichester. The recently established Medmerry Reserve is close by for bird watchers and walkers.

About the host

Hosted by Anne

Host profile image
Our family was lucky enough to purchase this beautiful property in 2015 and will be continuing to provide the Sail Loft, Highleigh as rental accommodation with very few changes. Having grown up in West Wittering we know and love the area and have walked, sailed and ridden in and around Chichester Harbour for over 60 years in an assortment of boats.

Why they chose this property

Highleigh is a peaceful, unspoilt backwater but within close reach of many activities and interesting places to visit.
