Level Mare Lane, Eastergate, Chichester, PO20

Mount Pleasant Farm offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial single-storey four-bedroom property with excellent equestrian facilities and the potential to create a superb equestrian home or smallholding.

DESCRIPTION:

Extending to approximately 3,115 sq. ft, the accommodation is arranged around a sheltered courtyard and complemented by a range of useful outbuildings and pastureland of approximately 11.03 acres, with gardens extending to a further 1.05 acres.

The entrance hall includes a cloakroom with shower and utility area, providing internal access to the integral double garage with electric up-and-over door and pedestrian access to the courtyard garden.

The kitchen is well-proportioned, with a breakfast bar, skylight, AGA, and space for dining. An east-facing sunroom opens to the courtyard via double doors. The principal bedroom enjoys limited views over the garden, a bay window, and external access. Bedroom four, also a spacious double with rooflight, lies adjacent and both are served by a family bathroom with bath and shower over. Bedroom three benefits from an ensuite bathroom with bath, separate shower, wash hand basin and WC. Bedroom two, located next to the snug/dining room, enjoys views over the land and would also suit use as a home office.

There are two generous reception rooms, both with direct garden access. The snug/sitting room includes a bay window and Rangemaster open fire. The drawing room is dual aspect with two sets of doors leading to the patio and gardens and also includes an attractive fireplace. From here, a small study/office can also be accessed, which may alternatively serve as a secondary entrance if a purchaser wished to configure the property for dual occupation.

Outside

A timber-built stable block provides three loose boxes and a tack room, positioned alongside a three-bay open store on the same concrete base.

The western elevation of the house is bordered by a walled patio with raised beds and mature trees, while the gravelled driveway includes a turning circle close to the house. The pastureland lies to the south and east and will likely require re-fencing but offers significant potential for equestrian use.
