Full description
Nestled in the heart of the glorious South Downs National Park surrounded by open farmland, this delightful flint and brick residence offers a fabulous opportunity to acquire an individual home steeped in charm and character, and rich in local history. Believed to be a former coach house, Ladyholt Cottage is deceptively named as the accommodation extends to approximately 2,205 sqft. Offering excellent scope to modernise and personalise your new home, the property stands in mature gardens extending to 0.34 acre.
Once inside you will immediately appreciate the spacious and welcoming sitting room with its bright dual aspect and multifuel stove providing a cosy warmth on chilly winter evenings. The well-proportioned kitchen is conveniently positioned adjacent to the dining room which has French doors opening onto the garden. There are two further reception rooms, a study and a family room/snug, ideal for quiet time or as a playroom. Behind the snug, a rear lobby leads to a utility room and ground floor shower room. Upstairs, the principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and two dressing rooms, each accessed via its own short staircase. The remaining three bedrooms and a cloakroom/WC are approached via a separate staircase from the study.
Outside, a gravel driveway leads to the main house, garage and workshop/store. The front garden is bounded by a mature hedge and has raised beds and specimen trees. To the rear there is an extensive lawn with a paved patio area, shrub borders and mature trees.
Services: Water from private bore hole (installed 2010). LPG Gas. Mains electricity.

Why live in Chichester?
We consider ourselves very lucky to be working in a city that blends so many different architectural styles, from elegant Georgian buildings to contemporary new apartments and waterside properties that overlook the harbour.
In 2013, The Sunday Times listed Chichester as one of the top places to live in the UK with ‘something for everyone’ – and they weren’t wrong. Chichester is a cathedral city, a county town and home to some of the oldest churches and buildings in the country. There are many well-regarded public and state schools in the local area with further and higher education options available from Chichester College, West Dean College and the University of Chichester. Our great schools have always made Chichester very appealing for those looking for the perfect place to raise a family.
