4 bed End of Terrace House For Sale
"Property Description & Overview"
This beautiful home is for those wanting to live within the city walls of Chichester, to avoid the traffic and have all the City’s amenities within walking distance, but without having to compromise on space and quality of accommodation.
Within a private gated community offering a communal courtyard garden controlled and managed by a residents’ association, this freehold contemporary and architecturally inspired 3-storey detached house forms part of a small award-winning development of 6 individually designed homes. Arguably our client’s property is located in the best position having unrestricted views overlooking Priory Park. Access to East Street and from thence the restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, local schools, Chichester Cathedral, St Richard’s Hospital, Chichester Festival Theatre and other amenities are all within walking distance.
The property offers a large single garage and secure off-street parking for 3 or more cars behind the tall timber gates of the property, unusual for Chichester city centre. So, visitors can visit and park at the property and the owner can keep cars on the property to travel outside Chichester to the beautiful countryside, villages, coastline and South Downs which are all close by. At the front, there is a courtyard garden and running around the perimeter there is a paved pathway with a shallow walled garden, mature planting and tall walls providing total seclusion.
From the front and from Priory Park when viewing the property, you get a sense of the individual architectural appeal from the roof profiles, window shapes and dark red brick elevations. Upon entering the house through the double timber and part opaque glazed front doors, the visitor is in the generous ground floor hallway which leads to the master bedroom, a large bathroom suite comprising a bath, separate shower, WC and basin and a second guest double bedroom. A door from the master bedroom leads onto the small garden area and both the master bedroom and bathroom have electric thermostatically zoned underfloor heating.
The garage can be accessed from the hallway and this has an up-and-over garage door leading onto the drive, a side window, an electric car charging point, a Glow Worm boiler for hot water and central heating, a butler sink with running water, the walls and concrete floor are painted and ceilings are plastered and painted with good lighting and electric power so it can be used as a utility space too for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is understairs storage and a house alarm housed in a wall cupboard in the hall.
There are two additional floors served by a staircase which has a sun tunnel at the very top providing natural light and all floors are served by an electric stairlift. The open plan interestingly shaped first floor offers beautiful entertainment space divided into distinct zones comprising a living room with views over Priory Park and a contemporary non-functioning feature fireplace, a seated dining area, a small sitting area adjacent with double doors which lead to a first floor external terrace which catches the sun. There is a separate well-equipped kitchen with a range of wall and floor cupboards, integrated Bosch and Hotpoint white goods and quality worktops. Within the open-plan living area is a small space that originally comprised a cloakroom but the services and door were removed by the current owner to increase the open-plan space on this floor. However, the services are still in place and it would be easy to reinstate the cloakroom if preferred.
On the top floor, there is a double bedroom overlooking the front of the house, a large well well-equipped bathroom and an unusually shaped double bedroom which overlooks Priory Park through attractive full-height windows this space could be split into a bedroom area and a sitting area. This room also benefits from unusual and interesting roof profiles. Additionally, there is an airing cupboard with a hot water tank, 3 eaves cupboards for storage and a loft hatch access on this floor.
This home can be enjoyed by a family living in Chichester but also by a family who wants a holiday or weekend base to explore this beautiful part of West Sussex but can leave it safe in the knowledge that it is secure and maintenance easy.
