Property description

Dating back to 1901 and impeccably presented, this detached Victorian home effortlessly blends refined original features with carefully chosen contemporary finishing touches. Idyllic gardens give a degree of seclusion, and the property is conveniently located for the local amenities, primary school and mainline station of Barnham village and offers easy access to London and the centre of Chichester.

Arranged around a central hallway, three outstanding reception rooms proffer an abundance of space in which to relax and entertain. A magnificent double length drawing room has a superb library area, while a lovely sitting room to the rear has an adjoining shower room, giving it ample flexibility as a guest room. Creating a tasteful yet contemporary twist to its period surroundings, an outstanding painted Shaker-style kitchen/breakfast room with bi-fold doors to the garden is wonderfully appointed with underfloor heating, a central island and an electric Aga.

The sense of style and space is echoed upstairs where five beautifully lit bedrooms supply an ideal amount of flexible family accommodation and include a double aspect principal bedroom with an en suite shower room, and a family bathroom has a fabulous roll top bath.

Outside
The property occupies a marvellously private setting tucked back from the lane behind the high hedgerows of its large front garden. The distinguished bay facade hints at the charm and character inside, and a sweeping gravel driveway combines with a triple garage to give off-road parking to several vehicles. The garage benefits from a delineated workshop area with doors to the rear.

Producing an enviable place to escape from the day, a superior summerhouse with bi-fold doors and a cloakroom sits within the expansive rear garden producing an easy flowing extension of a broad paved patio that’s ideal for al fresco entertaining. A substantial lawn stretches out before you, and a timber Wendy house is an added bonus for children.

Situation
The historic village of Barnham sits to the west of Chichester. Local amenities include a village high street with a range of shops, express supermarkets, a traditional country pub and primary school, while the centre of Chichester is within easy reach approximately 8 miles away with a wider choice of high street stores and cultural facilities. There are numerous leisure and sporting activities in the area including golf, horse racing at Fontwell and Goodwood with sailing at Chichester and Littlehampton Harbours. Barnham mainline railway station is 0.2 miles with services to London Victoria and the A27 provides access to Brighton and Southampton.
