North End Road, Yapton

THE PROPERTY Situated in a semi rural position and offering farmland views to the rear, sits this handsome semi detached house. The property has been in the same family ownership for over 40 years and while updating is required it offers fantastic potential.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors. The ground floor offers a light and airy feel throughout with a sizeable sitting room with bay window, kitchen/diner and cloakroom. Upstairs there are four bedrooms with three being good doubles, all bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom.

Outside the rear garden provides a good amount of privacy and is mainly laid to lawn with mature planting. To the front is a large driveway which allows parking for multiple vehicles as well as access to the integral garage. 

THE LOCATION This historic Sussex village lies some 8.5 miles to the southeast of the city of Chichester and some 3 miles to the west of Arundel, close to the West Sussex coast. Communications are good with the nearby A27 providing convenient vehicle access to many provincial centres including Portsmouth, Worthing and Brighton. Nearby Barnham station is under 1.5 miles away and provides a regular rail service to London Victoria.

Yapton itself offers a selection of local shops, a parish church and public house. Both Arundel and Chichester provide a more comprehensive range of facilities, the latter being arranged within a partly pedestrianised centre. The surrounding area provides many recreational and sporting activities, including a number of golf courses, one of which being at Goodwood. Glorious Goodwood is about 8.5 miles to the north and whilst best known for its horse racing, also provides a private airfield, country club and is becoming increasingly well known for the Revival of its historic motor circuit and the annual Festival of Speed.

Chichester and Littlehampton harbours are particularly popular with sailors, and the beaches of West Wittering and Climping provide opportunities for bathing, windsurfing and kite surfing. The recently created South Downs National Park is criss-crossed with many bridle paths and footpaths for walkers, mountain bikers and riders.
