Beautiful Grade II Listed Georgian House spanning over 8,000 sq ft in approximately 1.7 acres of grounds close to Chichester. A significant and beautifully presented, grade II listed, Georgian country house of exceptional character and elegant proportions. The property boasts eight double bedrooms, six reception rooms, four bathrooms and an attached annexe extending to 8,850sq ft in all, with additional outbuildings, all set within stunning gardens and grounds with a westerly rear aspect and striking rural views. The grounds extend to about 1.68 acres and the location is within easy reach of the city centre and its mainline station (1.3 miles), West Wittering beach (6.8 miles) and Chichester marina (2.5 miles). Approaching the front elevation, elegant steps rise to an attractive front porch. The inner hallway is flanked on either side by the drawing room and dining room, each with floor to ceiling sash windows and feature fireplaces. There is a more informal sitting room to the rear of the house adjacent to a substantial utility room with separate w/c. Stairs lead down to an extensive basement offering space for a wine collection. The country style kitchen/breakfast room is at the heart of the house with its central island and breakfast table. The house has been extended during our clients' ownership to create a significant and superb two storey extension accessed from the kitchen and forming a double height studio/library with an office above. The space could be suitable for a range of uses and in creating it, the house became linked to existing outbuildings which now form a self-contained annexe. The study/office has three aspects with magnificent views of the Downs to the North, and is a fully air conditioned working environment. It is reached via the spiral staircase from the studio/library and a galleried landing, which also leads on to the principal suite. That suite offers dual aspect views with an en suite bathroom and separate shower and benefits from built in wardrobes. On the first floor there are four more generous size bedrooms. A further staircase leads to the second floor, with two further bedrooms, both of which have fantastic countryside views. There is extensive loft storage space with two dormer windows offering scope for further accommodation if required. Gardens and Grounds The property enjoys extensive parking to the front where there is the addition of a large garage/workshop. The garden to the rear is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees, hedges and borders surrounding an attractive terrace and water feature.
