Full description
A substantial family residence with self-contained annexe, heated pool and south facing gardens.
A substantial detached residence extending to approximately 5,056 sq ft, set within 0.70 acres of mature, predominantly south-facing gardens. Enveloped by established trees, the property enjoys an exceptional degree of privacy and seclusion, together with a heated outdoor swimming pool and extensive recreational space.
The versatile accommodation is ideally suited to multi-generational living or offers potential for a home-and-income arrangement. The property is currently configured as a principal four-bedroom family home together with a self-contained two-bedroom, two-bathroom annexe arranged over two floors, accessed via the outer hallway of the main house.
The accommodation is approached via an outer hall leading into a spacious internal reception hall, enhanced by a skylight providing excellent natural light. There are four reception rooms including a bright dual-aspect formal dining room featuring French doors and an attractive curved bay window, a south-facing sitting room overlooking the rear garden, a cosy snug, and a separate study.
The generously proportioned kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with white-fronted cabinetry complemented by contrasting black granite worktops and a breakfast bar. Also located on the ground floor are three bedrooms and three shower rooms. One bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, while two further bedrooms share a Jack and Jill shower room. A third shower room is positioned off the inner hall.
The principal suite occupies the first floor and comprises a bright dual-aspect bedroom, an en suite bathroom, and a dressing room with walk-in wardrobe.
The annexe provides spacious and flexible accommodation comprising a dual-aspect sitting/dining room with access to a conservatory shared with the main house, a kitchen, a dual-aspect ground-floor bedroom, and a shower room. On the first floor there is a further double bedroom with en suite bathroom.

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.
