Woodstock House and Suites, Charlton, Chichester, West Sussex, PO18

An exceptional chance to purchase an elegant Grade II listed Georgian family home in the heart of the Goodwood Estate, accompanied by a set of six fully converted rental cottages with great potential for revenue growth.

The primary residence has undergone thorough renovations and updates, offering a comfortable and stylish four-bedroom layout.

The extensive and adaptable ground floor features a large, modern kitchen/family dining area with multi-fold doors leading to the garden, along with a spacious sitting room, study, media/games room, and several utility, boot, and storage rooms. Each bedroom is a generous double, and the bathrooms have been updated with contemporary fixtures.

Woodstock and its suites occupy a 0.4 acre plot with private access from North Lane.

Suites

The lettings cottages, named after renowned corners of the Goodwood motor circuit, comprise a charming courtyard of five brick and flint cottages, each featuring one or two bedrooms, en suite facilities and open plan living spaces, along with a fully equipped detached single-story property. In terms of occupancy, a long weekend in July can generate an income of just under £4,000, and the cottages currently hold a commendable 4.7 rating on Expedia.
