Access Statement
Introduction
White Horses was built as a comfortable family home next to the beach at Felpham at the turn of the twentieth century. It was constructed from local bricks and flints from the ancient sea bed of the South Downs. We have done our best to maintain the old character of the building together with providing the the warmth and comfort the 21st century expects. We are situated at the end of a quiet cul de sac just twenty yards from the beach with easy access to our seaside three mile promenade. We are able to offer access for wheelchairs to our Reception area only.
