Full description

A well-proportioned three/four bedroom semi-detached house requiring updating with adjacent paddock. 

A three-bedroom semi-detached former Land Settlement Association house, set within a generous 0.4-acre plot comprising a formal garden and an adjacent small paddock. Located in a popular semi-rural position approximately five miles south of Chichester, the property is offered with vacant possession and provides versatile accommodation suitable for a range of needs.

The ground floor includes an entrance hall, kitchen, spacious conservatory and a sitting room featuring a wood-burning stove. A second reception room offers flexibility as a study or ground-floor bedroom, served by a convenient ground-floor shower room. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The house benefits from Calor gas central heating via radiators.

Outside, a small footbridge crosses a surface-water ditch and leads to the front garden, which is mainly laid to lawn and continues around to the side of the house. Here, a decked seating area sits alongside a mature hedge that provides an informal division between the garden and the paddock. The rear garden features a paved patio and a pergola running along the rear boundary.

The paddock lies to one side of the property, where a driveway provides off-road parking at the far end. Additional outbuildings include a timber shed and an older single timber garage.

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.
