Full description

Built in the 1980s, this bright and spacious Georgian-style three-bedroom duplex apartment occupies the first and second floors of an attractive development tucked away in a peaceful backwater in the heart of the city centre, within the ancient city walls.

A particularly valuable feature for a city-centre property is the benefit of a private parking space.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and enjoys excellent natural light throughout. The welcoming entrance hall leads to an impressive dual-aspect sitting room, one of the principal features of the property, with two south-facing sash windows and an additional west-facing sash window flooding the room with natural light. The sitting room opens into a west-facing dining area, creating an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen is functional and well arranged, although it would now benefit from updating, offering an incoming purchaser the opportunity to modernise to their own taste. A cloakroom/WC completes the first-floor accommodation.

Stairs rise from the hallway to the second floor, where there are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Ideally positioned within the historic city centre, the property is just moments from an excellent range of shops, restaurants, cafés and cultural attractions, while enjoying a peaceful and tucked-away setting rarely found in such a central location. Overall, this is a generously proportioned and characterful home with excellent potential in a highly desirable location.

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.
