A turn-of-the-20th-century semi-detached house in north Bosham, offering generous rooms, high ceilings and clear scope to create a comfortable family home or a valuable refurbishment project. The property currently provides two reception rooms, two bedrooms and a long circa 100 ft rear garden, with gravel parking for two cars to the front.
The house requires full modernisation: cosmetic and likely more significant upgrades are needed to bring heating, insulation and finishes up to contemporary standards. The adjacent scullery/outbuilding presents a straightforward opportunity to extend or reconfigure the ground floor; several neighbouring houses have added first-floor accommodation to create up to four bedrooms.
Location is a strong selling point. Local shops, a Coop, post office and a doctors’ surgery are within easy reach; Bosham railway station offers quick rail links to Chichester. The South Downs is within a mile, and Bosham Harbour, Goodwood and Chichester’s amenities are all close by, appealing to buyers who want countryside, coast and town within easy reach.
Practical facts: the house is freehold, outside a flood-risk area, on an affordable council tax band and sits in a very low crime, affluent neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Buyers should budget for structural and energy-efficiency improvements (older double glazing and assumed uninsulated cavity walls).
