For Sale by Informal Tender Closing Date: 12:00 noon, Friday 5th December

An excellent opportunity to acquire a pair of three-bedroom semi-detached cottages requiring extensive modernisation. Conveniently located on the south side of Chichester, the properties are close to the mainline railway station, bus station and Chichester High School. They are also within easy reach of the Chichester canal basin and towpath, making this a particularly desirable and accessible location.

Untouched for many years, these two cottages offer tremendous potential for restoration and improvement. With sympathetic renovation, they could be transformed into attractive and comfortable homes, ideally suited for family occupation or investment.

Each property is a mirror image of the other and comprises an entrance hall, a south-facing sitting room, a kitchen, a walk-in pantry and a ground-floor bathroom. On the first floor there are three bedrooms. Each cottage enjoys gardens to the front, side and rear, with mature hedging providing privacy to the front.

To the rear of the properties, there is vehicular access offering the opportunity to create off-road parking. The cottages are approached via the entrance drive to the adjoining school and both benefit from south-facing rear gardens that enjoy a pleasant aspect.

Agents Note: Pedestrian and vehicular access to the cottages is via the drive from Basin Road. Although there is a no entry sign at the entrance, West Sussex County Council have confirmed that 1 and 2 Kingsham Farm Cottages do have a vehicular right of way.

The closing date for offers is 12:00 noon on Friday 5th December. Offers should be submitted using the prescribed tender form, available by email or in hard copy from the selling agents.

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.
