Malthouse Lane, West Ashling, Chichester, West Sussex, PO18

A well presented detached cottage set within the popular village of West Ashling, and within a few hundred yards of the picturesque duck pond and renowned Richmond Arms gastro pub. The house was renovated some ten years ago and is offered in good order throughout, and has a pleasant enclosed garden, a garage and off road parking.

The property has a cosy sitting room with a log burner which opens to a light, contemporary and stylish modern kitchen with a dining area which has double opening French doors onto the gardens. The kitchen includes a large range cooker, butler sink, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. The utility area and downstairs cloakroom can be found beyond the kitchen, and at the front of the house is the third bedroom (or study).

Upstairs there are two good double bedrooms, both with double aspects and a generously proportioned bathroom with a superb rolltop bath along with separate shower cubicle, WC and sink.

The private east facing enclosed garden is mainly paved with an area of gravel and lawn and is easy to maintain. There is a single garage with two further parking spaces to the side of and front of the property.

The village includes a popular local pub, primary school and village hall, whilst a village shop will be found in Bosham with a sub post office and farm shop. More comprehensive facilities are provided in Chichester which offers an excellent selection of shops in the pedestrian precinct, together with a wide range of social and cultural amenities including the renowned Festival Theatre, Pallant House Gallery, the Goodwood Estate and Ashling Vineyard.

The local railway station at Bosham is just down the road whilst a mainline station at Chichester provides a regular service to London Victoria in about 1 hour 30 minutes along with other south coast resorts. Funtington primary school, within West Ashling, is a very short walk away.
