Property description
A rare chance to buy a charming, detached cottage in a much sought-after area of Chichester, overlooking Jubilee Park and just a short walk from the city centre. No. 7 is a beautifully presented, bright three-bedroom home with a stunningly designed and secluded rear garden.
ACCOMMODATION:
The ground floor includes a welcoming entrance hall with attractive stained-glass windows, adding character and natural light. Off the entrance hall is a front sitting room with a log-burning stove, fitted bookcases, and a large window with plantation shutters overlooking the front garden.
Following on is a generous open-plan sitting/dining room (over 20ft) with a log-burning stove, bookcases, and large French doors opening onto the patio and garden. An open-plan kitchen/breakfast room leads off this space, fitted with Shaker-style units, solid worktops, and integrated appliances including a large fridge-freezer, oven, four-ring hob, and dishwasher. Dual-aspect windows and a stable door also open onto the patio and garden.
A utility room offers additional storage and worktop space, as well as plumbing for laundry appliances. There is a well-appointed ground floor shower room/WC. Excellent under-stair storage and underfloor heating run throughout the ground floor.
Upstairs
Bedroom 1: A generous double bedroom to the front enjoying an open outlook over Jubilee Park with views towards Chichester Cathedral spire.
Bedroom 2: A good-sized double bedroom overlooking the tranquil rear garden.
Bedroom 3: A single bedroom currently used as a dressing room, but equally suited as a study or nursery, with open shelving, drawers, and storage.
The bathroom is bright, with a large window, underfloor heating, WC, shower, bidet, basin, and good storage.
From the landing, a loft ladder gives access to a large attic covering the whole roof space, offering potential for conversion (subject to consents).
Outside
The professionally designed rear garden is a tranquil, private space featuring two patio seating areas, a central lawn, mature shrubs and borders, a small pond and fountain, and two raised vegetable beds.
At the rear is a generous, pretty wooden summerhouse — ideal as a home office or hobby space — with ample shelving, alongside a spacious tool shed with power points. A covered storage area lies behind them. Either side of the house are two alleyways (one covered), plus an outside tap.
To the front, a pretty wrought-iron gate opens onto a shingle garden with a brick-paved pathway leading to the front door.
