This detached four-bedroom house on a quiet Chichester cul-de-sac offers practical, flexible living for someone seeking a manageable family home or a retirement move. The large kitchen/diner with French doors opens to a generous rear garden with a summerhouse and patio, ideal for outdoor entertaining and low‑maintenance gardening. A ground-floor study supports working from home and the lounge benefits from a wood-burning stove for cosy evenings.
For buyers aged 60+ there is an option to purchase via Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease. The Homewise guide price for the Lifetime Lease is shown at £446,000 (typical saving circa 33% against the full market price of £675,000), though actual cost depends on age and circumstances; up to 50% of the property value can be safeguarded. If you are not eligible or you prefer a conventional purchase, the full market price applies.
Practical points to note: the house has a relatively small overall footprint (about 903 sq ft) for four bedrooms and may feel compact for larger households. Council tax is described as expensive. Prospective buyers should verify tenure, dimensions, fixtures and any planning or building consents, and check any fees or conditions associated with the Lifetime Lease option before proceeding.
Located in a very affluent, low‑risk flood area, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, the property sits within a mile of several well-regarded primary and secondary schools and offers off‑street parking for multiple cars. This combination makes it suitable for downsizers who still want space for visiting family or those seeking a quieter suburban base.
