Summary - Bell Road PO20 7HZ
5 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious rural home with annexe and large garden near coast and Chichester.
Half-acre plot with uninterrupted countryside and farmland views
Principal bedroom with dual-aspect outlook over farmland
One-bed annexe plus two loft rooms — versatile for guests or rental
Gated entrance and long driveway providing ample off-street parking
Dated areas throughout; will require modernisation and ongoing maintenance
Heating details unclear: sales text states oil, records show electric storage heaters
Granite/whinstone walls assumed uninsulated — potential energy inefficiency
Slow broadband and above-average council tax to factor into running costs
Set on roughly a half-acre plot in the peaceful hamlet of Somerley, this semi-detached cottage blends historic character with practical family living. The principal bedroom benefits from dual-aspect windows and views over farmland, while principal reception rooms and a conservatory offer comfortable day-to-day space. A one-bedroom annexe with a loft area extends living options for guests, home office use or rental potential.
The house retains traditional features and cottage charm but is dated in places and will suit buyers comfortable with updating. Construction includes granite/whinstone walls (assumed uninsulated) and double glazing installed after 2002. Heating information is inconsistent in the paperwork: the sales text references oil central heating, yet records indicate electric storage heaters; purchasers should confirm the current system. Drainage is private.
Practical advantages include a gated long driveway with ample parking, no onward chain and a generous garden dotted with established fruit trees. The coastal amenities at Bracklesham Bay and the historic city of Chichester are a short drive away, while local schools rated Good provide straightforward family logistics. Note broadband speeds are slow and council tax is above average, factors to consider for working-from-home or budget planning.
