Bywater House is a splendid beach side residence, providing highly adaptable accommodation ideal for those either needing a self-contained annexe or looking to run a business from home. The whole of the interior is beautifully presented. On the ground floor, large light reception rooms take full advantage of the marine side views across the surrounding landscaped gardens. A second front door provides access to a suite of rooms which could either be used as a home office or self contained annexe if required. These include a second kitchen, study and reception area. On the first floor, there is a principal and guest bedroom, both of which have dressing rooms with an en suite bathroom to the principal bedroom and dedicated shower room to the guest bedroom. If necessary, the dressing room for the guest suite could be used as a third bedroom. The exterior of the property is equally impressive, surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens with decorative lighting and water feature. The vehicle approach to the north provides generous casual parking together with a garage of some 34' in length, which could be used as boat storage facilities if needed. Immediately alongside there is a self contained guest cottage, providing completely independent accommodation which could be used for elderly relatives, extended family members or a home and income opportunity for a holiday cottage business.

The Sea Lane private estate is particularly popular with footpaths from several points to the beach and greensward. Originally built in the 1920s/30s, many of the surrounding properties are of a similar character with pretty thatched roofs and mature gardens. The village itself has a good selection of local shops nearby, whilst more comprehensive facilities can be found in either Arundel, Bognor Regis or Chichester. Mainline stations at either Arundel or Barnham provide regular services to London Victoria and other south coast resorts. Sporting and leisure facilities are numerous including the nearby Middleton Sports Club, which is situated on a private Beach Estate itself, providing tennis courts and a cricket green. The adjacent beach means that bathing and sailing are predominant pastimes in the area, with a number of sailing clubs dotted along the south coast. Other recreational pursuits range from horse racing at Goodwood and Fontwell Park to a number of golf courses and walking and riding in the South Downs countryside.

A stone paved courtyard has attractive raised planters stocked with hardy perennials, flowering shrubs and architectural plants. This provides an attractive, sheltered garden for the Studio and an appealing approach to the house.

Gardens The south facing garden behind the house commands far reaching views over the shoreline and sea, being protected by a high wall on the western side. A central circular area of lawn is surrounded by a wide gravelled path with semi-circular steps leading up to a sheltered south west facing patio, screened by sun-bleached timbers and stainless steel fixings, matching the nearby beach breakwaters. A large raised south east facing deck is again screened by bleached timbers in keeping with the seaside theme. The garden is hedged with well established tamarisk trees and an attractive rockery on the eastern side provides a focal point, planted with hardy coastal and salt loving plants.

The western garden, directly alongside the house, is approached from the courtyard or by way of sealed unit double glazed doors from the sitting room onto a screened deck sitting area with integral uplighters. Beyond a random stone paved terrace leads on to the rear garden, whilst an impressive stainless steel water feature creates a beguiling focal point, set in a rock strewn border planted with perennials and flowering shrubs.
