Outside

Behind a sweeping gravel driveway, the quintessential bay facade of this Chichester home instantly proffers a superior first impression and retains an exceptional measure of its original heritage.

At the rear, the modern French doors of the sitting room and bedroom/sun room open onto an attractive garden that lends an idyllic backdrop. Brilliantly high borders of hedging, conifers and colourful flowerbeds wrap-around a substantial lawn adding a feeling of seclusion, and a paved patio is ideal for al fresco dining. A greenhouse is an added bonus for budding gardeners.
