Lavant, Chichester, PO18

Located just north of Chichester, boasting views across neighbouring countryside towards Trundle Hill and Goodwood Racecourse. In recent years the house has been lovingly renovated by the present owners to an extremely high standard to offer flexible and adaptable accommodation depending on your living needs. This is a property with great character where the period features have been carefully preserved and seamlessly fused with modern styles and contemporary living requirements.

The downstairs accommodation comprises an enormously generous sitting room with elegant brick and flint elevations, a plethora of exposed beams and a truly impressive fireplace taking centre stage. The well-appointed kitchen adopts a more contemporary vibe with wooden cabinetry complimenting the original features and age of the property and the gloss white finish a reminder that this house is proud to be part of the 21st century. This is a comfortable space for congregating, contemplating and conjuring up a culinary masterpiece. In addition there is a substantial family room with space for a sizeable table for more formal dining occasions and seating space to relax casually as a family at the end of the day, the bifold doors frame the garden views and allow natural light into this already bright and cheerful room and a fabulous corner wood burner for those cooler autumn evenings. There is a downstairs cloakroom and a separate utility room to keep the muddy dog, the white appliances and the dirty washing out of the kitchen.

The bedrooms are arranged over two floors with one double bedroom suite on the ground floor, with ensuite shower room, built in wardrobes and easterly views. The mellow vibe and sense of complete order continues upstairs where you are greeted with three additional bedroom suites, all with graceful neutral colour schemes, intermittent exposed beams and bespoke hotelesque ensuite shower rooms. These are all comfortable luxurious spaces to relax and unwind after a busy day. The incredible games room, a must for families with older children needing their own space to entertain and chill out, can be accessed via a second staircase from the kitchen and has the flexibility to be used as a fifth bedroom, hobby room or home office. Rooks Hill also has the benefit of planning permission for a ground floor extension if required. South Downs Park Planning reference SDNP/23/03740/LIS
