About this property

A family house that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

Sparrow Cottage is a delightful cottage tucked in a little hideaway in the centre of Westbourne village. The property has four bedrooms but can be made available for 8, please contact us for more details. The property has been lovingly restored with period features and modern comfortable furniture reflecting the areas motor sport history at Goodwood. Westbourne is a pretty village with many rural walks, good local pubs in walking distance and a fantastic independent village bakery...not forgetting Whistler's chip shop! The property is a short drive from local beaches at Hayling Island and West Wittering.

Follow the path along the River Ems to the next village and enjoy a picturesque stroll along the shore and around the Mill Pond to the village. For adventures further afield, Westbourne is situated equal distance of the Cathedral city of Chichester and Historic Portsmouth and the famous dockyard with easy rail and bus links to both.

Walking through the front door into the hallway there is a lovely comfortable sitting room leading to the kitchen where every attention has been taken to make sure you have everything you need to self cater for your stay. There is a breakfast bar for enjoying a coffee in the morning or sitting together for a home cooked meal in the evening.

On the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Further on the ground floor there is one double bedroom, further shower room and sitting room with well equipped kitchen area.

To the rear of the house there is a lovely paved area to sit out and enjoy the summer evenings.

Westbourne is a charming village standing on the River Ems set between Emsworth and the beautiful countryside of The Downs. Although fairly small in size Westbourne boasts 66 listed buildings dating back to the 16th Century and an old medieval Church of St John the Baptist. The church is well worth a look around with its fine yew avenue which has even been said to be the oldest in England. A car is recommended, although you can easily walk into the village to get to the shops, pubs, and various restaurants, including a superb fish and chip takeaway.

By road you are perfectly located to get to the nearby historic city of Chichester, famous for its grand cathedral and famous Chichester Festival Theatre. Goodwood is a short trip away with easy access along the country lanes, perfect to skip the traffic on your way to events such as The Goodwood Revival. To the west of Westbourne lies the city of Portsmouth which offers wonderful attractions including the Historic Naval Dockyards and the impressive Spinnaker Tower, you can even hop on the catamaran or ferry to the Isle of White.

Cosy cottage
Cosy cottage with everything you need. Great to be able to park the car close to the house. In the village but silent.

Family get together.
We stayed in this lovely quirky cottage for a family get together when some of the family attended the Victorious festival in Southsea. We expected to be 8 but in the event we were only 7. All the bedrooms were double beds which was a slight inconvenience. However we found the rest of the house adequate for our needs and we were all able to squeeze round the kitchen bar for our meals. There was plenty of equipment in the kitchen to cover our needs and a very generous welcome pack. We were able to use the garden which had plenty of seating for us all. We all enjoyed our stay very much.

Perfect Christmas Experience
A beautiful cottage in a perfect location set the scene for an amazing Christmas that ticked all the boxes for three generations to come together and celebrate family. Thank you for the Christmas hamper which was an added delight for all of us who enjoyed its treats.

Walking holiday on the South Downs
The cottage is in a great location, but parking is a problem as only one car can park at the property. The owners have a considerable amount of memorabilia and it felt as though there wasn't anywhere to put our "stuff". With only two bathrooms it would be a significant difficulty with 8 people. We had three people and that worked well, had we had five as planned (two could not come) it would have been crowded in the house and difficult with the bathrooms. I would recommend the property for three, but not the eight as advertised.
