Detached 3/4 Bedroom Home Requiring Refurbishment – Superb Location Just Minutes from Chichester City Centre

Set within generous grounds of half an acre, this detached three/four-bedroom home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial property in a highly sought-after location, just a short drive from the historic city centre of Chichester. The property now requires updating, refurbishment, or potentially complete redevelopment (subject to the necessary consents), but presents an exceptional opportunity to create a truly fine country residence.

Occupying an elevated position along a quiet no-through road, the property enjoys a peaceful semi-rural setting with easy access to the many amenities, restaurants, and cultural attractions that Chichester has to offer.

Accommodation
The property is arranged over three levels, offering flexible living accommodation and excellent scope to remodel or extend.

Main Living Level:
The principal living accommodation features a spacious hallway, with kitchen, which opens directly onto a balcony to the rear of the property, overlooking the main garden – perfect for taking in the surrounding views or enjoying morning coffee outdoors. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate dining room, ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. The large living room also opens onto the balcony and enjoys a central fireplace, providing a welcoming focal point. Completing this level is a convenient cloakroom/WC.

Upper Level:
Upstairs there are three generous double bedrooms, each with a pleasant outlook over the grounds and gardens. The level also includes two bathrooms, providing flexibility for family living or guest accommodation.

Lower Ground Floor:
The lower floor provides internal access to the double garage, as well as a utility/boiler room and an additional versatile room that could be used as a fourth bedroom, study, playroom, or secondary living space. This level offers further potential for conversion to self-contained accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions.

Outside
The property is approached via a private driveway providing ample parking and access to the double garage. The grounds extend to a little over one acre, originally landscaped garden with pond, mainly now laid to lawn and interspersed with mature trees, shrubs, and established planting, with patio seating area, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion.

The gardens surround the house on all sides, offering ample space for landscaping or even for a new dwelling design to take full advantage of the site’s position (subject to planning).

Location
Situated along a quiet no-through country lane on the outskirts of Chichester, the property enjoys the best of both worlds – a tranquil semi-rural setting with easy access to the city. Chichester offers a wide range of amenities, including boutique shopping, restaurants, the renowned Festival Theatre, and excellent schooling. The nearby South Downs National Park provides miles of walking and cycling trails, while the coast and Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are within easy reach.

Mainline rail services to London (Victoria) are available from Chichester station, and the A27 provides convenient road links east towards Brighton and west towards Portsmouth and Southampton.
