Full description

An impressively presented coastal home in an exclusive barn style development, just moments from Chichester Harbour

Forming part of a select and exclusive barn style development of just four individual homes built in 2006, this attractive attached house combines modern comfort with timeless style. Impressively presented throughout, the property has been freshly decorated by the current owners and fitted with new carpets, offering a home that is ready to move straight into.

Set to the south of the village, the house enjoys a peaceful and private position within a quiet no-through close, creating a safe and tranquil environment. The location is particularly appealing for those who enjoy the outdoors, with wonderful scenic walks around Chichester Harbour just a few steps away, offering the perfect setting for leisurely strolls, dog walking or simply enjoying the changing tides and birdlife that make the area so special.

Inside, the property offers well-proportioned and flexible accommodation that can adapt to a variety of lifestyles. A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, with access to a cloakroom, which could be enhanced to include a shower if desired. The bright and airy dual aspect sitting room is a lovely focal point, featuring a stylish fireplace surround and plenty of natural light throughout the day. This space provides a comfortable setting for both relaxation and entertaining.

A separate family room offers great flexibility, ideal as a snug, home office, playroom or additional bedroom if required. The classic Shaker-style kitchen breakfast room is another highlight of the home, beautifully presented and designed for everyday practicality. Enjoying a dual aspect, it features an excellent range of fitted units and quality appliances, including a Neff double oven, five-burner Neff gas hob, AEG dishwasher and a Samsung plumbed-in fridge-freezer. The adjoining utility room provides space for laundry appliances, helping to keep the main kitchen area clear and uncluttered.

Upstairs, the three well-proportioned bedrooms are light and comfortable, all decorated in soft neutral tones to create a calm and restful atmosphere. The principal bedroom is a particular feature, offering a generous layout with a deep walk-in wardrobe and a stylish en-suite shower room. The family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, providing a clean and contemporary space with a bath with shower over, basin and WC.

Outside, the property continues to impress. To the front, an open-plan garden and gravel driveway lead to an attached carport, providing convenient covered parking. A personal side gate gives access to a side garden area with a useful garden shed, ideal for storage. The pretty rear garden is beautifully arranged, featuring a patio area perfect for outdoor dining or morning coffee, leading onto a well-kept lawn surrounded by mature borders.

This delightful home offers the perfect blend of style, comfort, and location. With its peaceful setting close to the harbour and countryside walks, yet within easy reach of village amenities and nearby Chichester, it represents an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a well-presented and versatile home in a highly desirable coastal area.

Why live in Chichester?

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.
