A country house that sleeps 18 guests in 7 bedrooms

Priory Coach House is a large beautifully refurbished holiday home overlooking Pagham Harbour run by the RSPB. Church Norton is standing on the peninsula of Chichester, West Sussex's south coast offering a secluded beach away from the hustle and bustle of busy West Wittering. From Priory Coach House you have your own direct private access across the grounds of the holiday home to the tranquil beach nestled amongst the dunes. It's the perfect spot for paddle boarding, picnics or simply sitting with a glass of bubbly to watch the world go by.

Priory Coach House boasts exclusive views to the water from the balcony stretching the length of this perfectly situated holiday home. Access is via one of the double bedrooms or spiral staircases from the garden. The large garden is perfect for entertaining; the Coach House is under the wing of Norton Priory a 16th century country home with extensive grounds. Here you have your own private space to wine and dine. An open pond is on site so young children must be supervised here at all times. Should you need anything our wonderful host is on hand at the Priory with an abundance local knowledge and can help with food or drink deliveries prior to your stay.

The Coach House sleeps a total of 18 people across seven bedrooms. There are six double bedrooms all with their own en suite facilities. (Four of the double rooms can be turned into twin rooms upon request). The master double on the ground floor includes roll top bath in the bedroom. There is a further 7th room with two bunk beds and two single beds, this room has its own en suite also and is close to the upper floor ‘Den' area. This is the perfect space for the kids to have their own space whilst on their holidays. The Den has books, games, and toys as well as a large comfortable sofa and television to unwind and have fun while the adults entertain on the ground floor. On the wide landing here is also a cot close to the children's room and a double room but it can be moved into any bedroom upon request.

Priory Coach House has a large luxurious living room stylishly decorated for fun and entertainment! Here is a comfortable seating space with large widescreen television. Beyond is a corner seating area next to the full-sized table tennis. Above is a disco ball and lighting for a small social gathering after a busy day out on the water.

This beautiful Coach House has a kitchen big enough to entertain the whole family with seating for all and kitchen more than suitable for self-catering at home. The kitchen includes ice maker, kettle, dishwasher, hob & double electric oven, microwave, fridge, double wine fridge & cafetiere. For those wanting to book a caterer for their stay there is ample space but please do contact the host for a full list of kitchen equipment once booked.

Priory Coach House has parking for as many cars as you need. Free wifi available on site.

Only short distance away Selsey is easily accessible from the Coach House by car or on foot along the beach. ‘Crab and Lobster' is a renowned local restaurant serving locally caught seafood. Selsey town has plenty of independent stores where you can pick up local produce as well and larger supermarkets if a big shop is required. Deliveries are available from all large supermarkets.

The historic Cathedral city of Chichester lies only a few miles north of Church Norton.

A very special place
What an amazing property! The most wonderfully thought out, well equipped and comfortable house that we enjoyed thoroughly as a party of 14. From the very comfortable and beautifully designed en-suite bedrooms to the numerous living spaces and fabulous kitchen. The owner was really helpful throughout answering any queries we had too. The walk down to the beach was a special treat and we could not recommend this place enough. Hope to come back another time for sure!

Lovely property with each bedroom it’s own en-suite facilities. All the beds were fantastically comfortable, quality beds with quality bed linen. A quick walk through the garden to the shore for wonderful coastal walks.

An amazing location and perfect house for a large group
We had a lovely stay at the Priory Coach House with a large group of 8 adults and 8 kids. Every room was en suite which was great. The kids enjoyed sleeping all together in the bunk room, as well as the table tennis. The house has recently been renovated and was modern and stylish, lovely comfy beds and linens. A lovely 5 min walk to the beach via the private garden path, and the beach was perfect for body boarding and kite flying. Highly recommended this house and we look forward to visiting again.
