Bosham Hoe is a private waterside estate set in approx 250 acres of oak woods, fields and foreshore on a small peninsula within Chichester
Harbour, bordered on the south by Itchenor Reach, on the west and north by Furzefield Creek and to the east by open farmland. It is owned and managed by its residents and benefits from protection from further new development. It lies within the Chichester Harbour amenity area which is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Bosham village lies just to the north with a Saxon church, sailing club, primary school, public houses and cafes. The cathedral city of Chichester offers a range of shopping and leisure amenities and the renowned Festival Theatre and Pallant House Gallery. In addition to sailing, leisure pursuits in the area include horseracing at Goodwood, which also hosts the Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival.

West Wittering beach caters for bathing and wind/kite surfing. Walking and riding can be enjoyed on the South Downs National Park, around Chichester Harbour and the coast. There is an excellent range of schools including Westbourne House and Oakwood Preparatory Schools along with Portsmouth Grammar, Churchers College and Bedales.

A five-bar wooden gate at the entrance leads onto a gravelled driveway, with lawn and mature shrubs to either side and the glorious outlook from the property is immediately apparent. A decked and paved terrace adjoins the rear of the house providing opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation whilst enjoying the vistas over the harbour, observing passing sea vessels and seabirds on the shoreline. There is a planted gravel garden, borders of hardy shrubs and plants and a lawned area extending to the water’s edge.

An outbuilding provides an office with a view for home workers, along with a large store room.

The property owners also enjoy the huge benefit of having use of but not having to maintain Bosham Hoe's private dock that runs out into the channel providing full access to the moorings and Chichester Harbour as a whole.
