Funtington, South East • England
Funtington is a village in the Chichester district of West Sussex, in the South East of England, in the PO postcode area. It sits between the A27 and the South Downs, a few miles west of Chichester and within reach of Portsmouth by road. KrewBase arranges whole serviced houses and flats for crews working around Funtington — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, and one monthly invoice covering the whole crew.
Funtington itself is small, so crews are usually housed in the solid stock of the villages and suburbs around Chichester's western edge — brick cottages and semis in Funtington, West Stoke and the Bosham side, with newer estates as you run towards Chichester. Semis and detached village houses work well for crews: room for drying kit, space for vans on the drive, and quiet neighbours.
We filter every property in person. That means checking off-street parking against the actual vehicles, confirming the heating copes with winter starts, and making sure the kitchen and bathrooms can take a working crew rather than a holiday let. If the best fit is a ten-minute drive from Funtington rather than in the village itself, we will tell you straight and show you the route.
The A27 corridor between Chichester, Emsworth and Portsmouth carries steady work for crews in construction, housing development and local infrastructure, with the wider South East adding pressure to roads, utilities and public services across the district. Crews working across West Sussex regularly need accommodation along this stretch, and villages like Funtington are a practical base for reaching sites in either direction.
There is also seasonal demand from agriculture and the estate work that comes with the South Downs landscape, plus healthcare and logistics cover for the Chichester area. Whatever brings your crew here, we match the house to the site — not the other way round. Spring and summer can tighten availability across the district, so it pays to send dates early when the season turns.
The A27 is the main artery, running east to Chichester in under ten minutes and west towards Emsworth, Havant and Portsmouth. The A286 runs north towards Midhurst and the A3, and the A259 follows the coast for anything towards Bognor Regis or the western harbours. Funham Hall Road and the lanes between the villages are fine for cars but worth avoiding with a loaded van at school-run time.
If your site is further afield — Havant, Petersfield, the Manhood Peninsula — we shortlist by real drive time from the gate rather than postcode distance, and we will walk you through the morning route before you commit. Chichester station, a short drive east, connects west towards Portsmouth and north towards London for any crew member travelling in by rail, and we factor that in when your crew mixes drivers with rail passengers.
You get the whole property — house or flat — for your crew, with every bill in our name. Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband are all handled by us, and the Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in so the first night works as well as the twentieth. Parking is checked against the actual vehicles your crew brings, not just ticked off a form.
For crews of five or more we look for two bathrooms as standard, and a weekly clean and fresh linen can be added so the house stays usable on long jobs. Maintenance is our problem — your crew reports it, we fix it. You receive one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay length.
Send us the requirement — town, dates, headcount, vehicles and any shift pattern we should know about. We come back within 2 hours with a shortlist from property we already hold, not a search we have just started. You pick, we confirm, the crew moves in, and we stay on it for the length of the job. One monthly invoice, card payment for limited companies, no booking fees.
Send us the site postcode, crew size and dates, and we will come back with a shortlist within two hours during working hours. Most crews are matched within a few days, and we can usually turn an urgent request around faster by widening the search to the Chichester suburbs.
Funtington itself plus West Stoke, Bosham, Chidham, Southbourne and the western edge of Chichester. If the best house for your crew sits slightly further out along the A27 or A259, we will show you the real drive time so you can decide with the full picture.
We only shortlist properties where parking works for your actual vehicles, and we check it in person before you commit. Village houses in this area usually come with a drive or space for two or more vans, and we flag anything that needs kerbside parking so there are no surprises on day one.
Yes. Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband are all in our name and covered in the rate, and the Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in. You receive one monthly invoice for the whole crew's accommodation with nothing extra to reconcile.
That is how we work as standard. One monthly invoice to your company paid by card, no booking fees and no deposit juggling for the lads on site. If you need a purchase order reference or a cost centre split, tell us when you book and it will be on every invoice.
Extensions are usually simple — tell us before the current booking ends and we will extend the same house where possible, or move the crew to an equivalent property if it is already rebooked. There is no penalty for honest notice, and we would rather re-plan than leave a crew without a bed.
