Old Haven is now requiring complete renovation. It has the benefit of approved planning consent (ref. 20/02795/DOM).

Believed to have been constructed at the turn of the 20th century, Old Haven is a much admired character house with perhaps one of the finest and breathtaking views along the length of the Itchenor Reach in the foreground and towards the South Downs National Park beyond. This substantial property provides huge potential and today benefits from approved planning consent to extend the existing footprint to approximately 4,500 sq ft.

The current proposal allows for the formation of a stunning entertaining space with a feature panoramic curved window overlooking the grounds, harbour and downs beyond. The consent has also been granted for a spacious sun deck/roof terrace above. Overall the property would comprise of six bedrooms, all en suite, with the main bedroom suite opening onto the roof terrace. Within the southern wing, accessed by a first floor linking passage, there would be a substantial guest room suite.

On the ground floor the proposed alterations allow for superb family living with a substantial open plan living space incorporating a kitchen, dining room, family room and formal drawing room. A separate study is also proposed along with areas set aside for utility and coastal living with a ground floor shower room and substantial boot room. Access would also be provided to the integral double garage. Further vehicle access is provided allowing ample space for the storage of boats and trailers.Towards the rear there is a courtyard garden, with the principle garden at the front overlooking the harbour.
