This knapped flint early 19th Century house has been a much loved home and lies in a quiet, rural lane surrounded by open fields, yet within easy reach of both Bosham, Chichester and a railway halt at nearby Fishbourne with access to both Victoria and Waterloo lines to London.
The oak floored entrance hall leads to a study/sitting room and dining room to either side, both rooms having views over neighbouring fields. A triple aspect garden room of some 20 ft long looking over the garden and nearby heated swimming pool with sealed unit double glazed doors to an adjacent south facing terrace. On the western side of the house lies the well-proportioned main sitting room with attractive beamed ceiling and fireplace fitted with wood burning stove and exposed brick chimney breast. South facing double doors open onto the terrace and garden. A spacious farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an excellent range of oak fronted cupboards and granite worksurfaces. Integral appliances include dishwasher, fridge and eye-level microwave. A four oven, oil fired Aga creates an attractive focal point set in a brick chimney breast recess. The separate utility room provides further useful storage and keeps the white goods away from the main living areas.
On the first floor there are five bedrooms arranged over two separate landings. The principal bedroom has lovely views over neighbouring farmland to the South Downs and bathroom en-suite. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom are arranged on the west landing whilst a second staircase leads to the east landing with two further double bedrooms looking over open farmland.
Outside
To the south of the house lies a double garage with parking area to its front. This has a remote controlled roller door and is provided with light and power. Double gates to the north of the house lead to a further area of hardstanding for casual parking. The well-maintained gardens lie principally to the north, west and south of the house surrounded by open farmland. To the north, steps flanked by two bay trees lead to a lawned garden which is walled to its north and western boundaries. A central circular rose bed is edged with lavender and there are well-stocked flower borders to the north and west. To the south of the house a terrace is approached by way of doors from both the drawing room and garden room with a heated swimming pool immediately to the south. Mature hedges enclose the boundaries and there are a number of well-established trees including willow, beech, lilac and maple. Colourful borders are stocked with traditional perennials including Solomon's seal, iris and peony. To the west there is a rose border and a further area of lawn.
Location
This unspoilt rural area lies just to the south of Fishbourne, close to the upper reaches of Chichester Harbour and Bosham. Fishbourne itself has a peaceful mill pond with walks through the reed beds to the upper reaches of the harbour. The village has a local pub, parish church and tennis club. The rail halt at Fishbourne provides a link with connections to Chichester, Portsmouth, London Victoria, Waterloo and Gatwick. The proximity to Chichester Harbour means this is the ideal location for anyone who enjoys the outdoors whether sailing, walking or cycling. The surrounding area offers many attractions including a choice of sailing clubs, the nearest being at Bosham, sandy beaches at West Wittering, the many attractions of Goodwood and the countryside of the South Downs National Park. Nearby Chichester has a wide range of shops and restaurants arranged within its pedestrianised centre and has a wide choice of cultural activities including the internationally known Festival Theatre and Pallant House Gallery which houses one of the most significant modern art collections in the south of England and plays host to regular exhibitions.
