About this property

An exceptional detached double fronted period home on a tree-lined avenue with plenty of character, exposed beams, gardens and garaging.

Sitting back from the leafy setting of a prestigious Chichester location, this period home has a wonderful degree of versatile space for multi-generational households. With graceful cornicing, period character and tasteful modern additions, there is ample scope for you to refresh and enhance an elegantly presented interior. The tranquil location offers from easy access to the city centre.

Behind an enchanting double fronted facade, a central hallway opens onto three/four excellent reception rooms generating an immense choice of places in which to relax and entertain. Distinguished drawing and dining rooms with focal point fireplaces are beautifully lit by charming bay windows, while a magnificent sitting room with a superior fireplace of its own stretches out beneath the exposed beams of a vaulted ceiling and has French doors to the garden. A stylish double aspect bedroom/sun room is adaptable to your needs, and a traditional fully fitted kitchen benefits from an adjoining utility room. A deluxe wetroom and separate contemporary bathroom with a first rate walk-in bath complete the ground floor.

Six further bedrooms pepper the upper two storeys, including one with the flexibility to be a great study. Together they share two additional family bathrooms and a cloakroom.

Outside
Behind a sweeping gravel driveway, the quintessential bay facade of this Chichester home instantly proffers a superior first impression and retains an exceptional measure of its original heritage. Mature shrubs and tall trees give notable privacy from passers-by, and the driveway combines with detached garaging to supply off-road parking to several vehicles.

At the rear, the modern French doors of the sitting room and bedroom/sun room open onto an attractive garden that lends an idyllic backdrop. Brilliantly high borders of hedging, conifers and colourful flowerbeds wrap-around a substantial lawn adding a feeling of seclusion, and a paved patio is ideal for al fresco dining. A greenhouse is an added bonus for budding gardeners.

Situation
Lavant Road leads north out of Chichester, with amenities locally including a mini supermarket and doctors' surgery. The historic cathedral city has a wide variety of cultural, leisure and shopping facilities, as well as restaurants and brasseries. The nearby Goodwood Estate offers a golf and leisure club. There is a mainline railway station with services to London Victoria via Gatwick Airport (approx. 90 minutes) and the A27 provides access to Brighton to the east and Southampton to the west.
