Chequers Quay is a small private residential close located next to Hermitage Bridge, with direct access onto the footpath which wends its' way around the village ponds. For walking enthusiasts, it is possible to follow the coastal path all the way around Thorney Island and on to Chichester in one direction, and around Emsworth to Hayling Island in the other. Along the journey there is much to entertain from an abundance of wildlife, many types of sea-faring vessels and beautiful views.

The Conservatory and outside terrace at this well-placed home are ideal spot for whiling away the hours, watching occasional dog-walkers by the millpond and locals attending to their beloved boats in Dolphin Creek, or enjoying the company of the resident kingfisher.

Our vendor says, "Sitting on the terrace on a summer's evening enjoying the sunset over the harbour is such a peaceful pleasure".

Step inside Upon entrance, the Hallway leads though to the Sitting/Dining room, which immediately impacts with its wonderful views over the millpond, the River Ems and Dolphin Creek.

There is space for a dining table beside the full-height window with views over the terrace and out over the water beyond. There is also a very useful serving hatch through to the kitchen.
