Description:
Conveniently situated only about half a mile to the east of Chichester city
centre, Richmond House is a superb and very well presented Victorian semi -
detached family house with 5 en - suite double bedrooms. Understood to have been
once used as a Boutique Bed & Breakfast, this handsome and characterful
property currently offers substantial and versatile accommodation (approx.
2374 sqft) arranged over 4 floors. The ground floor comprises a welcoming
entrance hall leading to a lovely sitting room with log burner and tall bay
window to the front of the house as well as a spacious approx. 23ft long
double aspect kitchen/dining room. The first floor includes 3 double bedrooms,
all with en - suite facilities, the principal bedroom featuring a large en - suite
with ‘freestanding’ bath and separate shower, which is ‘Jack & Jill’ to the
landing. The top floor comprises a charming double bedroom with good eaves
storage accessed via a spacious en - suite bathroom with a period style roll - top
bath. The surprisingly well proportioned lower ground floor offers a fair
level of natural light and includes a cosy family room and a further en - suite
double bedroom with ‘Jack & Jill’ bath/shower room with door back through to a
hall and glazed double doors opening to a small, private, and partly covered
terrace. This flexible lower ground floor might also lend itself to conversion
into an annexe with its own private entrance from the outside via the terrace,
subject to any necessary consents. The property also benefits from gas central
heating and is predominantly UPVC double glazed.
Outside, there is a small, gravelled frontage and a partly covered driveway to
the side of the house, which provides off - street parking for a couple of cars
and leads to double metal gates which open to an attractive ‘low maintenance’
south facing courtyard garden being nicely enclosed and providing a good level
of privacy with a decked sitting area, artificial lawn, shed, and paved path.
Location:
The property is situated towards the western end of a popular and
predominantly residential road comprising many character buildings being less
than 0. 5 of a mile to the east of Chichester city centre and the bustling
mainly pedestrianised shopping precinct. It is also conveniently located for a
couple of convenience stores, nearby recreation areas, including Florence Park
and Priory Park, bus services, and for access to the A27, which links with the
A3(M) to the west providing a route north to the M25. Chichester train
station, just outside the city centre and only about 1 mile from the property,
provides services along the coast to Portsmouth and Brighton, and to London
Victoria.
The cathedral city of Chichester offers excellent high - street shopping, many
fashionable restaurants, cafes, bars, a leisure centre with swimming pool,
sports clubs, cinemas, and is home to the Pallant House Gallery and the
renowned Festival Theatre. Located close to Chichester is the Goodwood Estate,
which is famous for its many sporting event days including the much - celebrated
Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival for motor racing enthusiasts, and a
season of horse racing including the Glorious Goodwood Festival. The South
Downs National Park is within easy reach being only about 2. 5 miles to the
north, and Chichester Harbour, along with Chichester Marina and Birdham Pool,
are located just to the south - west, the harbour being home to several popular
sailing clubs. Also, to the south - west, about 9 miles, is the Blue Flag sandy
beach at West Wittering and the National Trust’s East Head sand dune spit at
the stunning entrance to Chichester Harbour.
