Property description
This is a charming period house with a number of equestrian facilities, set between Chichester and Emsworth, and north of the A27. It is approached through a farm gate opening onto a wide gravel driveway that leads to a generous circular turning area at the front of the house. The drive continues around to the back of the house where there is a large brick paved barnyard with three stables, a tack room, and open barn on one side, and a most attractive old brick barn (about 920sq) with a gym, sauna and shower room attached. The interior of the house requires some updating but has the potential to be an idyllic family home, with plenty of south facing windows in most of the rooms. There is a large and elegant dining room and an even bigger drawing room, both south facing with open fireplaces and French windows opening onto the courtyard. The ground floor has been extended into what was originally a single storey barn, creating two ground floor bedrooms and a shower room. A stable door opens from the kitchen onto the sunny and extremely quiet and private courtyard with a covered area, perfect for outdoor dining in the summer. Upstairs there are three further bedrooms and two bathrooms. EPC-D
An attractive detached house with potential for further development
Outside The well maintained grounds include an extensive and level area of lawn with enough space for a tennis court and croquet pitch, beyond which are two easily accessible paddocks, all of which amount to approximately 5 acres.
This is a house with massive potential to upgrade and possibly reconfigure the interior, although it would make a lovely home just as it is. We do thoroughly recommend a visit to Victoria House to fully appreciate the wonderful grounds and the charm and seclusion of the property.
Location The cathedral city of Chichester offers excellent high street shopping, many fashionable restaurants, cafes and bars, Festival Theatre and a mainline station to London Victoria. 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 Glorious Goodwood. There are excellent 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.
