History and Area
Once a principal farmhouse in the area, Bonhams of Arundel is a Grade II listed Georgian manor with roots dating back to the 13th century. Set in beautifully landscaped gardens spanning just under an acre, she lies between the cathedral city of Chichester and the historic market town of Arundel, with the peaceful coast of Clymping Beach just three miles away.
Amongst its homely features, the house offers a wood-panelled interior, stone fireplaces, a formal dining room, an orangery, a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, and double aspect drawing room as well as underfloor heating. In its day, the area of Yapton, Arundel was well known by smugglers where the neighbourhood would ‘keep the doors’ open so they could escape the local constabulary!
