This two-bedroom Victorian terrace in Oving Road is a chain-free, freehold opportunity within a ten-minute walk of Chichester city centre. The house offers a large open-plan living/dining room, separate galley kitchen, downstairs bathroom and a private rear garden that benefits from good afternoon sun. At about 657 sq ft on a generous plot, it suits a first-time buyer looking to create long-term home value or an investor seeking a refurbishment project in a central location.
The property requires full modernisation: dated interiors, single glazed windows, low ceilings in places and reported need for roof repairs. Rooms are generally small to average; the layout is traditional and will reward reconfiguration and investment. Broadband and mobile signal are adequate, council tax is described as affordable and flood risk is low.
Location is a key strength — schools rated Good to Outstanding are nearby and local amenities, bus links and green spaces such as the South Downs are within easy reach. The high local crime statistic and the property’s renovation requirements are material negatives that buyers should factor into budgets and plans. A full inspection and structural survey is recommended before purchase.
For buyers seeking a straightforward freehold purchase with immediate potential, this cottage offers clear upside if you are prepared to renovate. For those who prefer move-in-ready homes, the level of work required makes this less suitable.
