The swimming pool and large hot tub are big features at this property. The outdoor space is perfect for family barbecues, with plenty of seating to enjoy the sunshine and the lovely garden views.
The property also boasts a rich history. It was once owned by the parents of Paul Weller (who reputedly wrote Eton Riffles amongst other songs during his visits here), while his father managed The Jam. The Hammond organ in the games room belonged to them.
The couple who purchased Warner Wood from the Weller family in 1998 have now relocated to London. Their children have opted to preserve this special place for multi-generational getaways for the entire family, while making it available to other guests who want to enjoy some Selsey serenity.
