This Grade II listed two-bedroom terraced cottage sits in the heart of Chichester, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation. Period features include a living room with a feature fireplace, a handsome Georgian staircase and built-in wardrobes in the master — character that’s rare in town-centre homes. A newly fitted boiler (2025) and secondary glazing improve comfort and running costs.
The property’s layout suits first-time buyers or couples: living/dining room, fitted kitchen, two upstairs bedrooms and a family bathroom. A large, adaptable basement provides scope for a home office, hobby room or storage, while the courtyard garden offers a private outdoor space in a small plot. The location is strong — short walks to Chichester train and bus stations, shops, and good local schools, with countryside and coast within easy reach.
Important practical notes: the house’s Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate certain improvements or permissions. The original granite walls are likely uninsulated, so upgrading thermal performance could be necessary if comfort or energy bills are a concern. Local crime is recorded as very high, which prospective buyers should investigate and factor into security and insurance considerations.
For buyers willing to work within listed-building constraints, this cottage presents a solid town-centre opportunity: attractive character, sensible layout, modern boiler, and useful basement space. A full structural survey and checks on listing consent requirements are recommended before proceeding.
