Full description

Ostlers Cottage is a truly individual home offering a rare opportunity to create a delightful residence in a highly desirable semi-rural setting. Believed to have originally served as stables with a hayloft above, the property stands within approximately a quarter of an acre (0.27) of mature gardens. While requiring a degree of updating, the cottage retains exceptional charm and character, providing ample scope for buyers to enhance and personalise the accommodation to their own taste.

Inside, the versatile layout offers adaptable living space perfectly suited to a range of lifestyles. A welcoming entrance hall gives access to a shower room, while the dual-aspect sitting room features French doors opening into the conservatory. There is a ground-floor bedroom or reception room, also with French doors leading to the garden, offering flexibility for guests or home working. The spacious dual-aspect dining room provides an ideal setting for entertaining and the dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room offers plenty of natural light and potential for modernisation. A practical utility room completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, a generous landing leads to two well-proportioned dual-aspect bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant views over the gardens, along with a family bathroom. The layout provides comfortable accommodation that can be easily tailored to suit individual needs.

Outside, a gravel driveway and turning area provide ample off-road parking for several vehicles and lead to a double car barn with an attached tool shed. The garden is simply landscaped, with extensive lawns offering an ideal canvas for keen gardeners or those seeking a peaceful outdoor retreat.

Beautifully positioned close to a footpath leading directly into open countryside, Ostlers Cottage enjoys easy access to scenic walks and outdoor pursuits. A well-regarded farm shop and a welcoming country pub are just a short drive away, creating the perfect balance between rural tranquillity and everyday convenience. Set in the heart of a rural village but only a few miles from the sea in one direction and the country city of Chichester in the other. A little further you are in the grounds of the Goodwood estate offering golf courses, horse racing, and the world renown festival of speed.  Also with 90 minutes you have the port of Portsmouth to access France and Spain and the airport of Gatwick to take further afield.

From Chichester take the third exit off at the Bognor Road roundabout into Vinnetrow Road. At the mini roundabout take the third exit and pass through the village. As the road bears round to the left with the school on your right hand side, take the turning left (Church Road) and follow the road down, at the mini roundabout proceed straight on. The property is on the right before the church. What3words - voice.silk.sage

The semi-rural village of North Mundham is situated approximately two miles south east of Chichester. Within the village there is a popular primary school and church. In the nearby village of Runcton there is The Walnut Tree public house and restaurant, plus a farm shop on the Lagness/Pagham Road. The cathedral city of Chichester offers excellent high street shopping, many fashionable restaurants, cafes and bars, along with the Festival Theatre and a mainline station to London Victoria. Goodwood is located to the north and is famous for its many event days including the world renowned Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival for motor racing enthusiasts and a season of horse racing including the Qatar Goodwood Festival. There are excellent sailing facilities around Chichester Harbour and windsurfing 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.
