Brooklyn Cottage is perhaps everyone's idea of the quintessential English thatched cottage, Listed Grade II. Lovingly restored and enhanced by the present owners, it retains its' essential character including traditional casement windows, exposed beams and timber frame and large Inglenook style fireplace. This is also one of the prettiest settings in the village, surrounded by cottage style gardens immediately adjoining the historic millstream and neighbouring reed beds. The layout of the accommodation is inevitably dictated by the proportions of the original ancient building but taken as a whole, the property provides highly adaptable living space. The addition of a vaulted sitting room has been a great success, providing a sheltered reception room with large windows enjoying views over the surrounding garden to the reed beds beyond and an oriel window specifically designed to provide views up and down the adjacent millstream. The dining room is of a good size being over 20' in length with an impressive Inglenook-style fireplace and the adjacent study could be used as a fourth bedroom if required, lying next to the ground floor bathroom. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with specially designed pine cupboards and drawers with exposed brick and flint work and an attractive red gas-fired Aga. The surrounding gardens provide the perfect setting for the cottage, planted with a colourful variety of traditional English perennials, including hollyhocks, roses, wisteria and ladies mantle. Neatly clipped lawns and pathways lead to a number of different sheltered sitting areas, all of which enjoy the most attractive views. The more recent addition of a triple bay barn-style garage provides generous storage space, complete with 3 remote controlled doors, inspection pit and wine cellar. Above this a step-ladder and hatch provide access to the sail loft which is some 29' in length.
Brooklyn Cottage lies close to the Millstream Hotel, at the heart of this perhaps most popular village on Chichester Harbour adjacent to the historic millstream and within half a mile of the picturesque High Street leading down to the ancient Saxon Church, Bosham Sailing Club and Quay Meadow. A public footpath on Moreton Road also leads to the estuary. The views across nearby Shore Road to the parish church are perhaps one of the most painted scenes in the county. The village provides a small selection of locally based shops and two public houses. Nearby New Bosham, about 1 mile to the north, has a further selection of shops and a railway halt, providing access to either Havant or Chichester, each of which have a mainline service to London Waterloo and Victoria respectively.
Sailing is perhaps the premier pastime in the immediate area but other recreational activities are well catered for including a number of golf courses, windsurfing and bathing from the beaches at The Witterings, and the South Downs with many footpaths provides plenty of opportunities for walking, riding and mountain biking. In addition to all these, Goodwood is perhaps best known for its racecourse but also provides a country club and has become increasingly well known for its annual Festival of Speed and the Revival of its historic motor circuit. There is a choice of road connections to London including either the M27/A3 or the A285 via Petworth to the A283, joining the A3 at Milford.

Gardens and Grounds The surrounding pretty cottage gardens provide an appropriate setting to this picturesque thatched cottage.

Herbaceous borders are planted with a colourful variety of traditional English perennials including hollyhocks, ladies mantle, anenomes, foxgloves and lavender. A weeping Silver Birch creates an attractive focal point between the cottage and garage, and there are a number of well established apple trees. Neatly clipped lawns are watered by way of an automatic irrigation system run from a private ground water supply and the whole enjoys pretty views over the neighbouring reed beds with some glimpses to the harbour beyond the willow trees.
