Lynch Down, Funtington, PO18

In need of updating, this spacious 4-bedroom family house sits in a generous plot in a sought-after cul-de-sac location on the outskirts of Funtington village.

DESCRIPTION:

1 Lynch Down is a spacious 4-bedroom family home on a generous 0.23-acre plot on the outskirts of the charming downland village of Funtington. The property extends to approximately 2,224 sq. ft, including the integral garage, and offers far-reaching views of the South Downs National Park from the first floor. While in need of updating and renovation, it provides an excellent opportunity to create a personalised family home.

On the ground floor, the house comprises an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor, a downstairs cloakroom, office, kitchen, dining room, and a living room with bifold doors leading to the conservatory. A rear hall provides access to two garages, bathroom, storeroom and a door to the garden.

The first-floor features four generously sized double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate WC.
The property sits in a good-sized plot and includes a small front garden with a driveway and parking for several cars. To the rear there is a large garden with a patio area and a summer house (in need of repair), offering a versatile outdoor space.

Plans for a second-floor side extension and alterations to the ground floor layout have been approved. Full details are available on the South Downs National Park planning portal (reference: SDNP/23/03669).

LOCATION:

Lynch Down is within easy walking distance of Funtington’s local pub, and historic church. There is a primary school in the nearby village of West Ashling, which also has its own popular local public house, and there is an excellent farm shop in the small hamlet of Adsdean.

The house is also within striking distance of Goodwood, renowned for its horseracing, and provides a country club and golf course as well as playing host to its annual Festival of Speed and the Revival meeting at its historic motor circuit. The surrounding countryside of the South Downs National Park provides many opportunities for walking and riding, and Chichester Harbour and the historic sailing village of Bosham are some 4 miles away, with the waters of The Solent and Chichester Harbour providing fantastic sailing facilities.

A little further afield are the beaches at West Wittering providing many other facilities for water sports enthusiasts including windsurfing and kitesurfing. Mainline stations at Chichester and Havant provide regular train services to London Victoria and Waterloo respectively, together with frequent services to both Gatwick and Southampton airports.
