Features and description
- Freehold
With views over the Mill Pond and less than 20 yards from Chichester Harbour Pendrills is an iconic Grade II listed home which has recently undergone a full sympathetic restoration and refurbishment.
Believed to date from the mid-1500’s, the house is one of the most important properties in the local area and sits within the Fishbourne conservation zone and Chichester Harbour aonb.
The front of the house retains most of its original features, whilst to the rear - accessed via a new driveway and landscaped terrace - is a contemporary architect designed extension. All rooms to the front have superb views over the Mill Pond, whilst the rear garden provides privacy and ample space for entertaining.
The property was purchased in March 2021 as a family home and the vendor has since completed an extensive refurbishment using heritage craftsmen, and upon completion has been nominated for a ‘Sussex Heritage Trust Award’, including:
Replacement of roof, thatch and tile
Structural improvements, new extension, damp-proofing, and repointing
Replacement of all hardwood windows with efficient heritage glass
Complete rewiring, replumbing, new kitchen and bathrooms etc
Ground floor
The original front door leads to the entrance hallway with exposed brickwork opening on to the dining space and dual aspect snug separated by the original chimney breast. The snug has been completely restored with heritage oak beams, ceiling joists and wonderful inglenook fireplace. Off the dining room is a rear hall with ‘porthole’ views to the Mill Pond, stairs to the first floor, storage cupboard and door to the study/home office with full-fibre broadband and distracting views of ducks and swans on the Mill Pond. The rear hall also opens into the attractive dual aspect sitting room and two pairs of double doors leading to the terrace and garden.
The central dining room flows into the spacious, bright, and well-equipped kitchen with handmade island unit/breakfast bar and bi-fold doors to large outdoor terrace. Appliances include Neff integrated oven, microwave, warming drawer and a Miele five ring gas hob. The kitchen flows into a new galleried atrium / rear entrance hall with contemporary oak door and glazed side panels, original exposed timber framing, and a large skylight bathing the space with natural light. Accessed from the hallway is a useful utility / boot room with plumbing for washing machine, dryer and Belfast sink, a new Vaillant gas boiler, water cylinder and water softener following complete replumbing and rewiring to provide pressurised hot water and underfloor heating.
First floor
Stairs lead from the rear hall to the galleried landing with a good sized storage cupboard, exposed beams and original wattle and daub, and latter lathe and plaster, preserved behind glass to attractively frame the Jacobean and Georgian heritage.
The large principal bedroom is light and airy dual aspect with vaulted ceiling, feature fireplace and wonderful views to the Mill Pond. Adjacent, there is an exquisite family bathroom with stand-alone roll top bath providing delightful views across the Mill Pond whilst reclining, double sinks, floating WC and bidet.
Bedroom 2 has a large modern picture window with views over the rear garden, exposed beams, a built-in wardrobe, and loft access (fully boarded and lit); whilst bedroom 3, on the southern end of the house, provides good-sized double room with exposed beams and delightful views over the Mill Pond.
Finally, Bedroom 4, another large double room, also looks out to the Mill Pond from under the thatched ‘eyebrows’ and provides a unique walk-in dressing area and a period fireplace. Adjacent is a modern shower room with suspended WC, sink and glazed walk-in shower.
Outside
The majority of the garden is set to the east of the house and extends to approximately 0.31of an acre. Accessed from the kitchen, rear entrance and sitting room double doors, is a delightful sunken terrace and entertaining area which lends itself to indoor/outdoor living. Beyond the terrace is a spacious garden mostly laid to lawn with several raised beds and mature trees providing excellent privacy and scope for future landscaping if so desired. The house benefits form a large driveway with parking and turning for several cars, and to the front of the house is a smaller garden area bounded by the original brick and flint wall. The two large potted olive trees pictured will remain at the property.
N.B. Planning permission has been recently granted to add a large oak framed garage / workshop / garden room / studio on the south boundary of the driveway (application number 22/02623/lbc).
Services: Mains gas, electricity, water, sewerage, and full-fibre broadband to the property.
