Chestnut Avenue, Chichester, West Sussex, PO19

Built in 2015 with elevations of white render and grey weatherboarding, The Light House is a stylish home with exceptionally light accommodation and a soft palette throughout. The bright and spacious reception hall/dining area generates an immediate welcome and a striking oak and glass stairway allows glimpses to the airy, upper level and the soaring double height ceiling. The ground floor accommodation offers a vast open-plan reception area, extending into an oak-framed sitting room with oak flooring. This is flooded with natural light courtesy of skylight apertures in the vaulted and beamed ceiling, and walls comprising windows and doors. Seating is centred around a woodburning stove and the open views to the outside blur the boundary between house and garden. Fitted with sleek, white cabinetry, topped with Corian work surfaces, the kitchen features integrated Neff appliances and an island unit. The relaxed breakfast area alongside with bifolding doors with electric blinds opens onto the terrace. A further ground floor Snug/Bedroom 2 is on this level with extensive storage and smart en suite bathroom offering the opportunity for downstairs living. A cloakroom and utility room complete the ground floor accommodation. On the first floor, the luxurious principal bedroom features a glass Juliette balcony overlooking the garden and also benefits from a dressing room and stylish en suite bathroom. There are two further dual aspect bedrooms at this level, both with exceptionally smart en suite facilities. Underfloor heating runs throughout the property.

Chestnut Avenue is situated in the highly desirable leafy residential area on the northern fringes of Chichester just 800 metres from the Centurion Way, which offers cyclists and walkers a route north to the South Downs and south to the city and onwards to Chichester Harbour. Chichester offers a wide range of cultural, leisure and shopping facilities, including the renowned Festival Theatre. Nearby Goodwood is well known for its horse racing events in addition to the Festival of Speed and Revival Meetings, whilst the country club offers golf, swimming and tennis. Sailing may be enjoyed from the many centres around Chichester Harbour and bathing and windsurfing from the beaches at the Witterings and Bracklesham. The mainline station provides access along the south coast, to London Victoria via Gatwick and to London Waterloo via Havant, and the A27, provides access to the A3(M) and on to the M25. Excellent schooling can be found in the area in both state and independent sectors.

The Light House is approached via a long length of gravelled driveway providing plenty of parking and giving access to the detached double garage. Pathways and a timber gate at either side of the house offer a route to the rear garden. Direct access from the reception areas to the large paved terrace with a private southwest facing aspect offer the perfect setting for entertaining. Borders containing an attractive selection of mature shrubs and specimen trees frame an area laid to lawn beyond the terrace.
