Overview

About Shearwater

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

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. The latest certificate (January 2022) shows a C (score 74). Main heating runs on oil.

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. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£669/sq ft) was about 50.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 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. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 88% of similar EPCs). A recent sale: £2,500,000 in March 2025. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
