Sack Lane, Lidsey, Bognor Regis, PO22

An impressive and generously proportioned five-bedroom detached period house, offering around 3,282 sq. ft of accommodation, with a further 548 sq. ft of outbuildings.Set in beautifully maintained gardens and grounds extending to approximately 2.26 acres.

DESCRIPTION:

Believed to date from the late 1930s, the house is an excellent example of properties from this era, showcasing many of the architectural hallmarks of the time, including high ceilings, spacious rooms, and large windows that fill the interiors with natural light.

Approached via a sweeping circular driveway, the property enjoys a private and peaceful semi-rural position along Sack Lane—a quiet country lane on the northern edge of Lidsey. It lies just a few miles from Bognor Regis and around six miles south-east of the historic cathedral city of Chichester, offering a wonderful balance of countryside living and convenient access to both the coast and city.

The well-planned accommodation includes a welcoming entrance porch and hallway, cloakroom/WC, a generous sitting room opening into a UPVC double-glazed conservatory, a formal dining room, study, and a well-equipped kitchen with walk-in larder, open plan to a breakfast room. A utility/laundry room completes the ground floor.

On the first floor are five bedrooms, including two with en-suite shower rooms, as well as a family bathroom and a separate WC. Many rooms enjoy attractive views over the gardens and surrounding countryside.

Outside, the property is set within beautifully landscaped gardens, with formal lawns to the front and further garden areas to the east, west, and north. To the eastern side lies a paddock extending to approximately 0.82 acres, which has historically been used for equestrian purposes and would lend itself well to this use again. To the south of the detached garage is an area of mature orchard and a generous space ideal for a vegetable patch.

Overage Provision: The paddock is subject to an overage provision whereby 50% of any uplift in value resulting from the grant of planning permission for residential development will be payable to the seller (or their successors in title). This provision will apply for a period of 20 years from the date of completion. Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries and to seek legal advice regarding the full terms of the overage agreement.

The property benefits from an indoor swimming pool in need of complete renovation and refurbishment as it has not been used for several years.

To the west of the house lies a charming pond, which provides a peaceful setting with a lovely evening aspect. Please note that while it forms a key part of the outlook and ambience of the grounds, the pond itself falls outside the property's legal title boundary, and prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves regarding the position.

Outbuildings include a large garage, a carport with studio above, and a timber summerhouse, offering flexible ancillary accommodation or potential workspace.
