Itchenor Road, Itchenor, Chichester, West Sussex, PO20

A particularly attractive period house with the benefit of being situated centrally within superb west facing gardens of just over half an acre in this hugely popular harbourside village.

Pembroke combines period character, sizable wraparound gardens, and opportunity to provide flexible family accommodation.

Ideal for family living the ground floor provides three reception rooms with a substantial tri-aspect sitting room, dining/family room and a sizable south facing conservatory. To the rear of the ground floor, accessed from both the entrance hall and sitting room to the side, there is a large west facing kitchen with ample space for informal dining, breakfast bar and storage. Beyond there is a utility room, ground floor bedroom and integral garage/workshop spanning the full depth of the property. A shower/cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs and accessed from a wide central landing there are four bedrooms. The main bedroom provides ample storage and has an en bathroom. Completing the first floor there is a family bathroom and access to a roof terrace.

Subject to the usual planning consents the loft could be converted to form further accommodation along with the possibility to convert one of the garages to form an annexe.

The garden and grounds are a particular feature. The property is centrally located on a corner plot intersecting Chalkdock Lane and the Itchenor Road. Approached from the Itchenor Road on a gravel drive, the main house is set back allowing ample parking to the front along with trailer storage alongside the end garage block.

The garden is well maintained with a large variety of attractive flowering trees, shrubs and plants in the borders. Towards the rear of the house there is an area laid to lawn along with a patio area, with a more extensive area laid to lawn spanning the full depth of the grounds to the south. Pedestrian access is provided onto Chalkdock Lane.
