Set on approximately 1.8 acres just half a mile from Chichester Harbour, this five-bedroom detached home blends 1930s character with contemporary living. The recently extended Sylvarna kitchen, vaulted entrance with spiral staircase, private balcony off the principal bedroom and multiple ensuites create a comfortable, flexible family layout. The mature south-facing gardens, patio and fruit trees deliver strong outdoor appeal for families and entertainers.
Practical benefits include planning consent to replace the old garage with a one-bedroom annex and permission for a double garage (application 18/00070/DOM), ample off-street parking, utility and cloakroom facilities, and extensive storage including a walk-in larder. Most ground-floor living spaces have underfloor heating and the kitchen has high-spec fittings (granite surfaces, Quooker, wine fridge, multi-oven appliances).
Buyers should note several important particulars: main heating is LPG (private supply), drainage is private via a Klargester treatment plant, double glazing was installed before 2002, and cavity walls appear uninsulated. The property is in Council Tax band G and running costs and future upgrade works (insulation, possible heating system change) should be factored into budgets. A neighbouring landowner retains a right of way over the front part of the driveway before the gate.
This home will suit families seeking space and countryside access, buyers keen on coastal leisure near Chichester Harbour, or those wanting to add value via energy upgrades or to build the approved annex/garage. The setting and ensemble of principal rooms make it an attractive, private village retreat with clear potential to customise further.
