Property description
Standing in a beautifully landscaped private garden, facing south, south east to the rear, this imposing detached residence combines the character and charm of a bygone age with the convenience of modern day living.
Landermere is believed to originally date from the late 18th century when it was built as two cottages. Some 200 years on, the property is now a fine double fronted family home, with a large single storey kitchen/breakfast room and utility room at the rear. Both the conservatory and the kitchen overlook a York stone courtyard patio to the delightful garden and Harbour Conservancy land beyond. The present owners have considerably, yet sensitively, updated the property in recent years, adding a conservatory, remodelling the kitchen/ breakfast room and creating a large en suite bathroom/shower room to the master bedroom. They have also made a useful utility/boot room which houses a modern gas central heating boiler. Traditional features include, sash windows, pictures rails and several period fireplaces. In the sitting room is a Jetmaster open fire. EPC-E
The walled garden is a delight. To the front there is a courtyard incorporating a turning area and wide driveway leading to a double width garage with a remote controlled roller door. The sunny rear garden has an extensive lawn flanked by mature well stocked beds, and a courtyard patio.
Within the village of Fishbourne there are playing fields which incorporate a bowling club, four tennis courts, village club with bar, cricket pitch, croquet club and childrens play area. There is a Primary school, the renowned Roman Palace, railway station and bus stop close by. Fishbourne Creek lies in the upper reaches of Chichester Harbour with its delightful walks and water sports.
The cathedral city of Chichester offers excellent high street shopping, many fashionable restaurants, cafes and bars, the Festival Theatre and a mainline station to London Victoria. Nearby, Goodwood is famous for its many event days including the world renowned Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival for motor racing enthusiasts and a season of horse racing including the Qatar Goodwood Festival. There are superb sailing facilities around Chichester Harbour and windsurfing from the beaches at West Wittering. The area is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts, with beautiful walks and cycle tracks over the South Downs and around the harbour.
