House For Rent £3,995

Offered for rent fully furnished, and with access to a swimming pool and tennis court by arrangement with the landlord, and with plenty of casual parking.
The quiet hamlet of Dell Quay lies on the north eastern shores of Chichester Harbour, just over 2 miles from the Cathedral City of Chichester with views over the water to the South Downs. For many years this picturesque hamlet has been a popular location with yachtsmen and was a place of considerable importance being specifically described in a 1584 Act of Parliament as 'the best haven between Portsmouth and the Thames'. Hundreds of years before this, however, it may have been a place of even greater importance as it formed the port of the Roman town of Regnum.
Over the years the channel gradually silted up and as a result the original port has now vanished, being replaced in the 17th century by Dell Quay very much as it can be seen today, a pretty group of boatyards, houses and cottages centred around its own public house and sailing club, both within a short distance of Apuldram House.
The cathedral city of Chichester lies some 2.7 miles to the north and provides a comprehensive range of shops, bars and restaurants arranged partly within the ancient walls, now a pedestrianised area. The arts are well catered for, as the city is home to the internationally known Festival Theatre, the Minerva Theatre and Pallant House Gallery, which houses one of the most significant modern art collections on the south coast.
The nearby waters of the Solent are particularly popular with sailors and the area has a wide choice of sailing clubs including West Wittering, Itchenor, Bosham and nearby Chichester Marina. The National Trust reserve of East Head is some 7 miles away, having perhaps the most picturesque beach in West Sussex and the nearby shoreline of East Wittering provides opportunities for swimming, wind surfing, kite surfing and land boarding.
Other attractions include Glorious Goodwood with its internationally known race course but also providing many other facilities including a private country club, golf course and airfield. Goodwood also plays host to the annual Festival of Speed and the Revival of its historic motor circuit, both of which have become prominent annual events. The newly created South Downs National Park is criss-crossed with many footpaths and bridleways providing excellent facilities for mountain biking, horse riding and walking in some of the richest countryside in the south of England.
There are several choices of vehicle access to London including either the M27/A3 or the A285 via Petworth to the A283 joining the A3 at Milford. The mainline station situated at Chichester provides a regular service to London Victoria in about 1 hour 40 minutes and to Gatwick in about 1 hour 5 minutes. An alternative slightly faster rail service to London is also available from Havant in about 1 hour 20 minutes to London Waterloo.
