Lock Lane, Birdham, PO20

NO ONWARD CHAIN...This detached family home was originally built in the 1960s on stilts. The ground floor was further extended to include a double garage in 1969, at which point the ground floor was filled in, but retained the columns as an interior feature like a ships mast. It then underwent total renovation in 1999 with the addition of a bedroom suite above the garage.

The property has a feeling of coastal chic with a neutral colour palette contrasting delightfully with natural wood tones and well-placed wood panelling in key areas, such as the staircase with its vertical lines and rope guiderail. The rear of the house has lovely views over the beautiful garden and adjacent fields.

The accommodation extends to about 2700 sq ft and is wonderfully light and spacious throughout, accessed via a light and welcoming entrance hall with shower room and toilet, with double doors leading into the dining room with dual aspect sliding doors, wood floors and whitewashed brick, a snug with electric fireplace and fantastic sitting room with quadruple aspect sliding doors for views of the meticulous garden. There is a kitchen with larder benefitting from integrated appliances and adjacent utility and laundry room which also provides access to the integral double garage and store room. Upstairs the principal suite is enviably arranged with fitted wardrobes, balcony overlooking the garden, dressing room and en suite bathroom. There is a second en suite bedroom and the further two double bedrooms with fitted storage and office share the use of a separate family bathroom.

Outside

The house is surrounded to the front and sides by mature hedges and trees, and an open fence to the rear perimeter provides views to the fields behind, providing a peaceful sense of seclusion with expansive countryside beyond. Accessed via gated driveway, there’s ample parking and an integral double garage, well established and loving maintained landscaped gardens are arranged to wraparound the property and maximise the amount of useable lawn. There is also a raised deck terrace adjoining the snug and sitting room for seamless outdoor entertainment and dining, which has a cleverly designed alcove to maximise usage of the space, whatever the weather.
