The Nest at Severels - an annexe that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms
The Nest offers guests the rare opportunity to stay in part of a stunning and architecturally unique home designed by acclaimed architect Walter Greaves in 1980. This exceptional property is one of the few late 20th-century houses to have been awarded a prestigious Grade II* listing. The property has been very successfully hosted by Clare and David for 3 years, a local couple that have grown up in Chichester and who are on hand for any advice during your stay.
Set within 3.5 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, originally designed by RHS Wisley, the property enjoys enchanting views from every window. Guests are invited to wander the grounds, discovering hidden paths, a charming bridge over the water, and several peaceful seating areas, perfect for social gatherings or quiet moments of reflection. A fire pit and barbecue are also available for guests to enjoy.
The grounds also offer a few delightful extras, including use of a rowboat for exploring the Pagham Rife, a large trampoline and an attractive tennis court, badminton area, table tennis table and football goals… if ball sports are your interest!
Inside The Nest is styled with a touch of Scandinavian simplicity, providing a warm and comfortable retreat with everything you need for a relaxing, self-catered stay. The sitting area enjoys lovely views over the garden with plenty of comfortable seating and a Smart TV. The dining nook, tucked away with cosy bench seating, makes the perfect spot to enjoy a home-cooked meal or a delicious delivery from one of Chichester's many local restaurants.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, including a kettle, cafetiere, dishwasher, fridge with freezer compartment, toaster, electric oven, and induction hob. Your hosts also leave a thoughtful welcome basket to get your stay off to a lovely start.
The ground floor includes a convenient shower room and washer dryer.
Upstairs, you'll find two comfortable bedrooms, the main bedroom features a luxurious king-sized bed and a bath within the room, while the second bedroom offers twin beds nestled beneath dual-aspect windows framing picturesque views of the surrounding trees. Both rooms are filled with natural light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere and include ample storage for your convenience.
The Nest at Severels is truly a special place to relax, unwind and make lasting memories.
Tucked away in the peaceful countryside just south of Chichester, Runcton is a charming little village that captures the very essence of rural West Sussex. With its tranquil lanes, traditional cottages and sweeping views over farmland and orchards, Runcton is the perfect spot for a relaxing country escape, all within minutes of the coast and the historic city centre. You can reach the popular Walnut Tree Bar and Restaurant within a few minutes by foot and the award winning Runcton Farm shop and Cafe is just around the corner, selling lovely local produce and great breakfasts...both venues are proven guest favourites!
From your base in Runcton it's just a short drive to Chichester with boutique shops and the Chichester Festival Theatre. To the south lies the spectacular Sussex coastline, perfect for days spent walking at Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve or watching the sunset over Bosham Harbour. The famous West Wittering beach is 15 minutes drive away.
For those who love the countryside the South Downs National Park is on your doorstep, with endless trails, vineyards, and cosy pubs to discover. If you are visiting in summer for the events, you can easily access Goodwood motor circuit and horse racing.

An extended enjoyable stay
I recently spent an extended stay at the Nest which was very enjoyable and set in lovely grounds as part of the main house.
Clare the owner was extremely helpful and around to help with any issues. The accommodation is modern with very good facilities including the added benefit of the use of the gardens.
Highly recommend staying there.

Beautiful home and garden
If you are lucky enough to stay here in the warmer months, the garden is spectacular with tables and seating dotted around the garden to admire it. Lots of nature on display, we even saw a deer and fawn in the garden. Plenty of equipment beyond what is listed to play garden games. The accommodation was clean and tidy and finished to a high standard. Lovely bedding and towels. A small hamper on arrival. Clare the host was most welcoming and friendly and made us feel so welcome sharing her accommodation and garden with us.

Amazing property and hosts!
What an immaculate property which oozes love and care. Thank you for a wonderfully warm, cosy and memorable Christmas and New Year period. We particularly appreciated you sharing your wonderful grounds and hospitality. It really makes a holiday let transform to an experience to be cherished.
Thank you
The Nest was a Beautiful place and the grounds are amazing with plenty of outdoor spaces and activities available for families.
They have a trampoline, tennis court, multiple outdoor sitting areas and lots of space to play outside.
We saw a deer twice and my son enjoyed the trampoline.
It’s really a two bedroom one bathroom place with a tub and a sink in the primary bedroom with a king bed and the second bedroom has two twin beds plenty of room for a family of four. Both bedrooms are upstairs and downstairs there is a bathroom with a shower and washer/dryer a kitchen, dining area and a small living room.
The place is a little hidden from the road but the host was incredibly friendly and accommodating they walked out to the end of the driveway to meet us because we were struggling to find the place the first day after that it was super easy to find the house
We were there for the Goodwood festival of speed and it was a short 10-15 minute drive to the festival.
