About Shearwater
Shearwater is a five-bedroom detached house in Bosham, Chichester, Chichester (PO18 8ET). It has a recorded floor area of 347 m² (around 3735 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band G. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

Today's modelled estimate of £2,214,000 is 11.4% below the 2025 sale of £2,500,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.

At 347 m² the property is well over the postcode median (234 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
