The Drive, Chichester, West Sussex, PO19

Situated near the rural outskirts of Summersdale and set within approximately 0.26 acres of gardens, an opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow in need of full renovation.

Mistral is a charming detached bungalow offering generously proportioned accommodation throughout and now requiring modernisation. A spacious entrance hall welcomes you into the property, with doors leading to a large dual-aspect sitting/dining room enjoying both south and west-facing views. From here, a door opens into the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units, worktops, and appliances, and provides access to the delightful rear garden via two separate doors. Further doors from the entrance hall lead to a study, three well-sized bedrooms, and a family bathroom.

Mistral is approached via a long driveway, set well back within its generous plot, offering a high degree of privacy. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn and features a variety of mature trees, flowering plants, shrubs, and tall hedging, creating a leafy, secluded outlook. The surrounding area offers picturesque countryside walks, with views towards The Trundle and the iconic grandstand of Goodwood Racecourse on the horizon.

Occupying a substantial plot of approximately 0.26 acres, the property presents excellent potential for extension or redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents — offering an exciting opportunity to create a stunning family home.
