Waterfront Country house

Millis is a magical, waterfront property that is nestled within the confines of a private gated estate on a wooded peninsula near Bosham, West Sussex. Constructed in the aftermath of World War II by the patriarch of the family who still calls it home, Millis is a testament to resourcefulness born of necessity. In those post-war years, when building materials were scarce, this remarkable dwelling was built with whatever materials could be scavenged, and its exterior clad in timeless Cedar tiles. The lush Oak woodland that envelops Millis has been lovingly preserved in a state of wild grace, a tribute to the deep respect for the land that permeates this tranquil haven.The property's charm extends beyond the house itself, with a multitude of unique features to discover within the enchanting garden. Through the canopy of ancient trees, the waterfront beckons, offering heavenly vistas. A splendid wood-hulled yacht, gracefully moored alongside a lengthy jetty, extends its invitation into the serene waters of the Bosham Channel. Throughout the garden, one encounters numerous hidden gems and designated shoot areas; a quaint Boat house with a cosy seating area, a beautifully weathered Caravan, a rustic log-cutting area, a charming camper van, gnarled and venerable Apple trees whispering tales of seasons past, and even a vintage Ice Cream cart. There is parking for several vehicles available on the drive. The house is easily accessible from London via the A3 and A27.
