Full description

A substantially extended detached family home in a sought-after west Chichester location.

A substantially extended three double bedroom detached family home, occupying a mature residential location on the west side of the city, less than a mile’s level walk from Chichester city centre. The property benefits from generously proportioned accommodation, including an impressive 24’ x 22’ kitchen/family room, a spacious study and a particularly generous westerly facing rear garden extending to approximately 0.14 acre.

The accommodation begins with a spacious entrance hall and cloakroom, leading to a formal sitting room featuring an attractive media wall with built-in shelving and cupboards. The outstanding feature of the property is undoubtedly the superb kitchen/family room, with its partially vaulted ceiling incorporating Velux windows and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden. The contemporary, well-appointed kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of floor and wall units, granite worktops, two integrated AEG ovens, a five-burner gas hob, cooker hood, wine cooler and dishwasher, together with space for an American-style fridge freezer. A separate, spacious study provides excellent flexibility for home working.

On the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in wardrobes. The family bathroom is fitted with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle, together with twin wash hand basins.

Outside, the open-plan front garden is predominantly laid to gravel, providing convenient off-road parking. An adjacent driveway extends along the side of the property through a gated side access and continues the full depth of the rear garden, offering particularly useful space for storing a caravan, motorhome or boat. The generous rear garden provides ample space for family enjoyment and gardening, with a detached workshop positioned at the far end, featuring twin double doors opening to the side.

There are excellent sailing facilities around Chichester Harbour and water sports from the beaches at West Wittering. The area is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts, with beautiful walks and cycle tracks over the South Downs and around the harbour.

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.
