Charlton, Chichester, West Sussex, PO18

Crossroads House is an intriguing, single storey, architect designed property built in 1969, designed by the late Barry Russell, an architect teacher and writer who lived locally in West Sussex.

The property offers spacious accommodation benefiting from some fine views over neighbouring farmland and The South Downs. The centre piece of the property is a superb open plan kitchen/dining room with stone tiled flooring and underfloor heating throughout with large picture window and double glazed sliding patio doors that provide access out onto the secluded rear garden. There is also a dual aspect sitting room again with stone tiling and underfloor heating throughout. This room has wonderful views up to the South Downs, off this lies a garden room. The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room and also has access out onto an area of decked and lawned garden. There are three further bedrooms, a separate bathroom and a utility room.

Within the grounds is a detached annexe/studio with sitting/bedroom, shower room and a small kitchenette, ideal for those who have family visiting or perhaps work from home or could even be used as a secondary income.

To the front of the property there is ample off-road parking, this area again having fine views over neighbouring farmland up to Levin Down and to the rear is a good size secluded garden.

The village of Charlton lies approximately two miles from the Goodwood Estate and six miles from Chichester. There are numerous attractions within the local area including the West Dean Gardens and the Weald and Downland Living Museum. Charlton itself has an excellent local pub as do the nearby villages of East Dean and Singleton where there is also a pretty cricket green and primary school. The rich countryside of the South Downs is immediately to hand with a varied choice of footpaths and bridlepaths including the South Downs Way.

Goodwood Estate hosts a number of events throughout the year including the Festival of Speed, Revival Meeting and Members Meeting at its historic motor circuit and Goodwood also hosts a full horse racing calendar including the Qatar Festival.
