Old Broyle Road, West Broyle, Chichester, PO19

A detached Arts and Crafts residence of great character and distinction, built in a Tudor style between the wars. Constructed of traditional methods and materials, character features include the use of York stone, leaded light windows, oak beams, thumb latch doors, Tudor style fireplaces and a south facing verandah. The house is set in the middle of its own good sized mature plot of 1.13 acres, is well set back from the road and is screened all round. The current owner had made improvements to the house some years ago, including conversion of the original garage to a dining room, the construction of a replacement double garage and carport, and good sized outbuilding. The house is now in need of some refurbishment and will create a delightful character home. The house is conveniently situated in a lightly wooded rural area, yet is within a mile of Chichester city limits. The city offers a wide range of facilities and is renowned for its cultural activities centred around the XIIth Century Cathedral, internationally renowned Festival Theatre and Goodwood Estate. For sailing enthusiasts the safe waters of Chichester Harbour as accessible to the south, as are several thriving sailing clubs. The Goodwood Estate hosts the annual Festival of Speed, September Revival Meeting and Glorious Goodwood horse racing. Nearby Fishbourne has a railway halt, several pubs, and primary school, whilst Portsmouth Harbour provides regular ferry crossings to Le Havre or Cherbourg in around 5 1/2 hours.
