Large eight-bedroom detached house with extensive outbuildings and B&B potential.
Eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms (seven en suite)
This substantial detached chalet-style house occupies a large plot in a semi-rural hamlet about six miles east of Chichester. The well-presented interior extends to approximately 4,200 ft² and includes eight bedrooms (two on the ground floor) and eight bathrooms, seven of which are en suite — a layout that easily suits a large family or B&B operation. Generous reception rooms include a wide entrance hall, drawing room with fireplace, a large open kitchen/dining space and a games/family room.
Outbuildings and practical space are a strong feature: single garage, large workshop, two stables, two open-bay storage barns, an external office and shed. Planning consent has been implemented for a sizeable horse box/hay store (about 16m x 5m), which will interest equestrian buyers or those needing agricultural storage. The house sits close to countryside attractions, local schools including Great Ballard and Goodwood events, while still being within reach of village shops and Barnham station.
Buyers should note a number of running-cost and improvement considerations. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity; walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation, and the EPC rating is E. Broadband speeds are slow in this location. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors mean some investment will be required to reduce ongoing costs and improve efficiency if modern comfort or holiday-let standards are desired.
Overall this is a versatile property with strong space, outbuilding and equestrian potential on a huge plot. It will particularly appeal to families needing extensive accommodation, buyers looking to run a B&B or those seeking a rural lifestyle with room for workshops, stables and storage. Expect to budget for energy-efficiency upgrades and broadband improvements.
