Full description
An exceptional 1,516 sqft four bedroom semi-detached cottage combing traditional charm and contemporary design.
A stunning and beautifully extended, four-bedroom semi-detached flint and brick period cottage, sympathetically transformed to an exceptional standard, combining the charm and character of a traditional home with striking contemporary living spaces.
Since purchasing the property in 2021, the current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of renovation and enlargement, including a two-storey side extension, loft conversion and the creation of an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. Flooded with natural light through extensive glazing and bi-folding doors, this spectacular space seamlessly connects the interior with the rear garden, making it ideal for both family life and entertaining.
The bespoke shaker-style kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of quality floor and wall-mounted units complemented by generous work surfaces. A substantial central island incorporates a traditional Butler sink, whilst integrated appliances include a tall fridge, tall freezer and dishwasher, wine cooler, together with a freestanding range cooker. Character features include an exposed mellow brick wall and an arched doorway leading to the adjoining utility room.
The front door opens into an entrance lobby with double doors leading to a spacious reception room. The elegant sitting room retains its period character with a reclaimed brick fireplace and open chimney (currently boarded), creating a warm and inviting reception room.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from a beautifully appointed contemporary en-suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms together with a luxurious family bathroom designed as a stylish wet room. The fourth bedroom occupies the converted second floor, providing an ideal guest room, home office or teenager's retreat.
The property benefits from gas-fired underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, with radiators serving the first and second floors. The owners have also installed a modern economic private sewage treatment plant.
Outside, the property is approached via a generous driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles. The 0.15 of an acre secluded rear garden is enclosed by mature hedging and fencing, predominantly laid to lawn with an attractive patio adjoining the family room, creating a wonderful extension of the living accommodation during the warmer months.
The Planning Permission includes the construction of a detached garage to the side of the property.

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.
