Old Broyle Road, West Broyle, Chichester, West Sussex, PO19

Broad Oaks was built in 1934 and has a lovely lightly wooded setting just to the north west of the city of Chichester. The house has been much improved and extended by the present owners, creating a well-appointed home ideal for the growing family. The ground floor provides four reception rooms and spacious conservatory/breakfast room with lovely views over the garden. The first floor provides four bedrooms including principal and guest suites. The adaptable lay-out of the accommodation means that the guest suite together with home office and family room on the ground floor could be used as an annexe for extended family members or guests if required. The family room could also be used to provide an occasional fifth bedroom.

The driveway from Old Broyle Road provides casual parking and access to the large detached double garage with remote controlled door. A south facing raised terrace is approached by way of doors from the conservatory and sitting room. Steps lead down to a further sitting area at garden level looking out over the lawn. Surrounding flower beds and shrubberies are well stocked with a mixture of traditional perennials, roses and flowering shrubs. A well established willow tree creates an attractive focal point and there is a summerhouse. To the east, steps lead down from the lawn to a manageable vegetable garden, planted with herbs and soft fruit. To the east of the vegetable garden lies an additional area of lightly wooded wild garden, enclosed by post and rail fencing. A lily pond has been created to attract wildlife. This area of land is managed by the owners of Broad Oaks under annual license from the owner of the land.

Broad Oaks can be found within the lightly wooded surroundings of West Broyle, some 1 1/2 miles north west of Chichester city centre.
