Church Lane, Eastergate, Chichester, PO20

If romance was a property, this would be it! Handsome brick-and-flint façade, wisteria-clad walls where history blooms, sunlit rooms filled with charm, sweeping delightful gardens to discover and more.

The Property
Set in the heart of the village’s Conservation Area, Eastergate House is the embodiment of iconic Georgian elegance, offering 6,000 sq ft of captivating living space. Its storybook brick-and-flint façade, gracefully draped in wisteria beneath a mellow clay-tiled roof, instantly hints at the timeless character and charm within.

Step through the front door of this quintessential family home into a welcoming entrance hall, where solid wooden floorboards and generous proportions lead the eye toward views of the rear garden beyond. Light floods in from sun-drenched, south-facing principal rooms, where graceful bay windows frame cushioned window seats and original fireplaces add a sense of warmth and intimacy.

Alongside the formal rooms, three additional reception spaces, a bright day room, a light-filled conservatory, and a garden room, each carry their own personality and offer varying perspectives of the glorious grounds and direct access to the outdoors.

The country-style kitchen combines charm with practical elegance, featuring bespoke cabinetry topped with granite work surfaces, a Rangemaster cooker, a walk-in pantry, and access to the rustic wine cellar. A laundry room, boot room, and second cellar are discreetly positioned, providing everyday convenience while preserving the home’s elegant flow.

Upstairs, five double bedrooms and four bathrooms continue the sense of generous scale. The principal suite is a true retreat, a room of remarkable proportions, with double bay windows framing garden views, abundant fitted wardrobes, a private dressing room or study, and an en suite bathroom. Thanks to a secondary staircase, part of the first floor can easily be transformed into a self-contained guest or staff wing, offering flexibility for modern living.

Outside, the landscaped gardens, just shy of an acre, wrap around the property in a haven of mature planting, seasonal colour, and tranquil seating areas. At the front, a magnificent magnolia tree offers a shaded spot from which to admire the stunning façade of this special historic home. To the rear, a variety of delightful spaces await discovery, including a charming flint-and-brick summer house, sunlit patios for al fresco dining, a rose garden with greenhouse, a composting area, woodshed, garden shed and even a playful cricket net. From here, there’s a peaceful outlook over St George’s Norman church and open farmland. A double garage and ample parking complete the accommodation.

Twilight at Eastergate House is pure magic, soft light spilling from its windows as the gardens rest in evening stillness, while beneath the dusky sky, this Georgian treasure reveals its most enchanting side, wrapped in light and history.

With its roof serviced in 2023, and a new boiler and heating system installed in 2025, Eastergate House offers a rare harmony of style, history, and space, more than a home, it is a piece of living heritage, ready to begin its next chapter.
