Set on a very large, largely private plot just outside Chichester, this detached 1960s home offers immediate scope for refurbishment or fuller redevelopment (subject to necessary consents). The property is chain free and has been with a single owner, allowing a straightforward purchase for buyers looking to move quickly. The house’s three main floors deliver flexible living: large reception rooms, a balcony overlooking the garden, three double bedrooms upstairs and a versatile lower-ground-room that could serve as a fourth bedroom or home office.
The plot is a standout asset — wrap-around gardens, mature trees, original pond and patio provide strong landscaping potential or space for extension. Practical features include off-road parking, driveway and a double garage with internal access. The home benefits from double glazing (fitted post-2002) and a traditional oil-fired boiler with radiators; council tax is noted as very low for the area.
This is a renovation-heavy property. Interiors show dated fittings and wear, and the house will need modernisation throughout: cosmetic updating, likely kitchen and bathroom replacements, and general systems upgrading. Buyers should note the oil fuel source and consider long-term heating plans. There is also potential for partial or full redevelopment given the size of the plot, but any structural changes would require planning permission and surveying.
The location suits families and those wanting easy access to Chichester’s amenities and transport links — good local schools are nearby and the city centre, South Downs and coast are within easy reach. For purchasers seeking a project with strong garden space or a redevelopment opportunity in a desirable area, this property represents convincing potential.
