About this property

Offering approximately 1,837 sq ft of accommodation with a further 602 sq ft of outbuildings, this Grade II listed period house, held within the same family for over 150 years, presents a rare opportunity for a new custodian to undertake a sympathetic restoration project in a highly desirable Downland village setting.

This characterful Grade II listed village house retains considerable charm and historic interest, with flint elevations typical of the area. The property has remained in the same family ownership for approximately 150 years and is now offered for sale by auction, presenting an excellent opportunity for restoration and enhancement, subject to the necessary consents.
The ground floor provides a range of reception spaces including a kitchen with adjacent dining room, a traditional sitting room. In addition, there is a separate study, utility room and useful storage areas. The accommodation reflects the organic development of a historic country house and offers scope for reconfiguration to suit modern living.
The first floor comprises four bedrooms, arranged over two staircases, and providing flexible accommodation with potential for improvement. The overall layout and proportions offer considerable potential for a purchaser wishing to create a distinctive period home, subject to listed building consent.
Attached to the main house is a substantial four‑stable barn, offering further scope and versatility. This outbuilding may be suitable for a variety of ancillary uses or conversion, subject to all relevant planning and listed building permissions.

Outside
The garden is predominantly laid to lawn and is largely enclosed by walls, creating a private and sheltered outdoor space. A notable historical feature is the disused bomb shelter, adding further character to the grounds. The garden offers a blank canvas for landscaping or restoration in keeping with the property’s period setting.

Situation
The property is located in the sought‑after village of Singleton, set within the South Downs National Park and renowned for its attractive countryside, walking routes and village community. The nearby cathedral city of Chichester provides extensive shopping, leisure and cultural amenities, including the renowned Festival Theatre, together with mainline rail services to London Victoria.
The surrounding area offers excellent access to Goodwood, home to the racecourse, motor circuit and golf courses, while the South Downs provide miles of open countryside for walking and riding. The south coast and the sailing facilities of Chichester Harbour are also within easy reach, making this an appealing location for both lifestyle buyers and investors alike.
