Full description
A rare development opportunity to acquire a terrace of three cottages requiring modernisation in a semi-rural woodland setting about five miles east of Chichester.

There is a triple car barn with potential to convert, subject to planning permission, a brick-built storeroom and extensive parking on the western side of the land. The cottages have electric heating and private drainage. The solar panels contribute towards the electricity and create an income from the Feed in Tariff.

A right of way will be retained by the cottages to access the private drainage system post sale for the purpose of maintenance/replacement, as this is located at the south end of the curtilage of Westergate Wood. Westergate Wood will retain a vehicular right of way over the southern drive to provide access to its paddock.

After Fontwell race course take the first turning on the right into Level Mare Lane. Continue for 0.65 of a mile and turn right onto an unmade lane and the cottages are on the right after a short distance.

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.
