Full description

A charming Grade II Listed thatched cottage on the southern border of the South Downs National Park.

A charming “chocolate box” semi-detached Grade II listed period thatched cottage, situated in a Downland village setting approximately three miles north of Chichester within the glorious South Downs National Park. Steeped in character and charm, the property features low ceilings, exposed beams and a secluded, attractively landscaped garden. A new gas central heating system was installed in 2022.

The present owner principally uses the rear access from St Nicholas Road, which leads through a gated entrance to a courtyard/driveway and attached garage.

The accommodation comprises an entrance porch leading into a study/reception hall, together with a delightful sitting room featuring an attractive inglenook fireplace and exposed beams. The traditional kitchen has a range of fitted cupboards, an attractive dresser unit, space for a range-style cooker, beamed ceiling and feature exposed-beam wall. A stable door provides access to the rear garden.

On the first floor are two bedrooms, with the property retaining many of the features and proportions associated with a traditional period cottage.

Outside, there is an enclosed front garden with a pedestrian pathway to the side, leading through a gate to the rear courtyard. The secluded rear garden is attractively landscaped, with a block-paved patio and steps rising to an extensive lawn enclosed by mature borders.

No onward chain.

Situation

The property is situated centrally within the semi-rural downland village of Lavant within the rolling foothills of The South Downs National Park and close to the famous Goodwood Estate. The latter offering many popular motor car and horse racing events along with two stunning golf courses. Lavant has a good community with a number of local amenities such as two public houses, two churches, village hall on the green, cricket and football club and both a children’s nursery and a primary school. Centurion Way, the popular cycle route and footpath passes through the village from the city of Chichester and runs right up into The South Downs. The historic Cathedral city of Chichester lies some three miles to the south and has fantastic facilities including shops, restaurants, bars, pubs, The Festival Theatre, Pallant House Gallery along with a mainline railway station with services to London Victoria. Just south of the city lies Chichester Harbour, its calm and picturesque waters attracting many sailors and water sports enthusiasts and lying at the entrance to the harbour are the sandy beaches of both West Wittering (a blue flag beach) and East Head, the latter offering well preserved sand dunes.

Why live in Chichester?

1 of 9

We consider ourselves very lucky to be working in a city that blends so many different architectural styles, from elegant Georgian buildings to contemporary new apartments and waterside properties that overlook the harbour.

In 2013, The Sunday Times listed Chichester as one of the top places to live in the UK with ‘something for everyone’ – and they weren’t wrong. Chichester is a cathedral city, a county town and home to some of the oldest churches and buildings in the country. There are many well-regarded public and state schools in the local area with further and higher education options available from Chichester College, West Dean College and the University of Chichester. Our great schools have always made Chichester very appealing for those looking for the perfect place to raise a family.

Our city centre is a shopper’s paradise and there are great places to eat and drink, from elegant restaurants to cosy cafés and pubs, all set along the city’s four main streets. Chichester Cathedral on West Street dominates the skyline and, on summer afternoons, its grounds are filled with local people enjoying picnics. In the evenings, the Cathedral plays a central part in the city’s nightlife by hosting classical music events.

Chichester has a number of public parks, the Chichester Tennis and Racquets Fitness Club and Westgate Leisure Centre, where you’ll find a large swimming pool and skate park and, if sailing is your thing, Chichester Harbour is a haven for you. There really is so much to do here you’ll be spoilt for choice; spend the day on one of the many local beaches, stretch your legs on the stunning South Downs or catch a show at the Festival Theatre before it moves to a permanent home in London’s West End.
