Chaffinch Close, Birdham, Chichester, PO20

A spacious 4 bedroom detached house understood to date from the 1970s offering beautifully presented and nicely balanced family accommodation, situated in an attractive small cul-de-sac and bordering open farmland in the sought after sailing village of Birdham only about 1.5 miles from Chichester Marina and about 4.5 miles south-west of Chichester city centre.

DESCRIPTION:

This elegant four-double bedroom property sits within a mature and well-maintained plot, boasting an attractive mix of brick and timber cladding under a pitched, red-tiled roof. The front garden is framed with established planting and a tarmac and gravel driveway providing ample off-road parking. The ground floor flows beautifully, offering over 2,150 sq. ft of versatile accommodation. A spacious and bright sitting room with fireplace and log burner overlooks the garden, while a separate study provides the ideal work-from-home space. The generous dining room links seamlessly with the kitchen/breakfast room, complete with modern units and access to a utility room and useful pantry. The welcoming entrance hall also leads to a practical boot room and cloakroom.

Upstairs, the layout offers excellent family flexibility with four double bedrooms all with stylish ensuites. The principal bedroom is especially spacious, bathed in natural light, and has superb built-in storage.

The rear garden is a key highlight—private, secure, and beautifully landscaped. A lush lawn is bordered by flowering beds and mature shrubs, with a secluded patio area ideal for summer dining. A further feature is the contemporary summer house—perfect as a garden retreat, studio, or perhaps a home office—facing a delightful, paved terrace surrounded by planters.
With its blend of semi-rural charm and modern convenience, Tate House offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a village lifestyle within easy reach of Chichester city centre, the marina, and stunning coastal walks.
