Full description

An individual detached period cottage overlooking the rolling South Downs countryside.

A charming individual period home enjoying fabulous open countryside aspect to the rear towards Goodwood Estate. Set on the southern periphery of the glorious South Downs National Park, the property combines a peaceful village setting with excellent convenience, being just two and a half miles north of Chichester.

The house features attractive flint and brick elevations and is believed to have originally been built as a coach house, retaining much of its period character.

The accommodation is well arranged and versatile. An entrance hall leads to an L-shaped sitting/dining room with a feature fireplace and wood-burning stove, creating a warm and welcoming focal point. The galley kitchen is fitted with shaker-style units and benefits from a stable door opening to the rear garden. A conservatory, accessed via French doors from both the dining area and kitchen, provides a delightful space to enjoy the garden and views beyond.

On the ground floor there are two bedrooms and a shower room. The first floor offers two further bedrooms, each enjoying spectacular countryside views, along with a family bathroom.

Outside, the property is approached via a wide gravel driveway providing ample off-road parking. To the rear lies a long garden, predominantly laid to lawn with a patio area, well-established borders and a high flint retaining wall to one side. A gate at the far end of the garden opens directly onto a country pathway, perfect for walkers and nature lovers.

Why live in Chichester?

1 of 9

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.
