Full description

A charming two bedroom detached cottage in an exclusive village development

This beautifully presented two-bedroom detached house was built by Berkeley Homes in the late 1990s as part of an award-winning development of just thirty properties, thoughtfully designed to reflect the character of a traditional Sussex village. Tucked away in a sought-after location only three miles east of Chichester, the property combines the comfort of modern living with timeless cottage charm.

On entering, the welcoming hallway sets the tone for the home, with a useful cloakroom to one side. The sitting room is particularly inviting, with a feature open fireplace and a gas coal-effect living flame fire and has direct access to the garden, making it a perfect space to relax during cooler evenings.

The open-plan kitchen and dining room is both stylish and practical, with shaker-style cabinetry, ample work surfaces and a full range of integrated appliances, including an electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge and freezer. The dining has an ideal layout for everyday living and entertaining.

Upstairs, there are two generously sized bedrooms, both light-filled and well-proportioned, offering flexibility for use as bedrooms, a study or guest space. The family bathroom is fitted with a classic white suite.

The property enjoys a private setting with a gravel driveway leading to a carport, providing off-road parking for two vehicles. A rear door from the carport gives access to the secluded rear garden, which has been beautifully landscaped with mature planting, seating areas and an emphasis on privacy. It is a tranquil space, perfect for outdoor dining or simply unwinding.

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.
