Washington Street, Chichester, West Sussex

Dating from the early 19th century, 14 Washington Street is an attractive Grade II listed townhouse, featuring a red brick and flint exterior. Offering nearly 1,300 sq ft of flexible, light-filled accommodation across four floors, it provides an elegant and characterful space for both family living and entertaining. Carefully balancing period charm with modern comfort, it showcases sash glazing, high quality fixtures, and a neutral palette throughout. The front door opens into a welcoming sitting room, where a woodburning stove sits within a feature fireplace, framed by bespoke storage on either side. A passageway leads to the snug, which mirrors this cozy aesthetic with another fireplace and fitted cabinetry. Beyond, a 13-ft garden room offers decorative tiled flooring, a large bay with a reading nook, and side French doors that open onto the peaceful courtyard garden. An inner hall off the snug leads to a staircase descending to the basement, where a front-aspect dining room with tiled flooring offers flexibility as an additional bedroom if required. The adjoining kitchen/ breakfast room features a range of wall and base units, a breakfast bar, an Aga, and modern integrated appliances. A rear hall provides access to an en suite cloakroom and a staircase leading up to the courtyard garden. On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys a front aspect and fitted storage, while the spacious rear-aspect family bathroom includes both a bath and a separate shower. On the second floor there is a final double bedroom benefitting from useful eaves storage and an en suite shower room.

The property is approached over a paved pedestrian path through a round-headed doorway with an original semi-circular fanlight with tracery. The part walled courtyard garden to the rear, accessible from the garden room, is paved for ease of maintenance and is bordered by well-stocked raised flower and shrub beds; together with a pretty summer house.

The Cathedral City of Chichester offers both high street and independent stores, the renowned Festival theatre, muti-screen cinema and numerous fashionable restaurants, cafés and bars.
