Property description & features

Situated on the Chichester Canal adjacent to Premier Marina's Chichester Marina in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Oyster Catcher enjoys a unique view and position, overlooking the lock gate toward Chichester Harbour - a fabulous destination location, popular for boating, harbour and countryside walks, recreation and dining out.

The houseboat is built to highest standards, using quality materials, blending traditional techniques with the latest technology. This newly constructed houseboat is thoughtfully designed to maximise space, style, natural light and comfort aboard.

Oyster Catcher can be used as your permanent home or weekend retreat, with designer finish low maintenance lines, an open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, two bedrooms and a luxury bathroom with walk in shower. Energy efficiency includes a high degree of insulation to floors, roof and walls with double glazed windows, plus LED lighting, electric radiators and MHVR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) providing fresh filtered air, whilst retaining most of the energy that has already been used in heating the building.

An outside decked balcony area provides an alfresco style sitting area with a view over the lock toward Chichester Harbour and the adjacent good sized, easily maintained landscaped garden is for the berth holders use - subject to a peppercorn yearly rental agreement.

Oyster Catcher really does provides a unique on water dwelling experience, perfect for weekends away, extended holidays or as a permanent waterside home.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
