The Lane, Summersdale, Chichester, West Sussex, PO19

Nestled along this highly sought-after road in Summersdale, just north of Chichester, stands an attractive detached home thoughtfully designed to maximise natural light throughout its generous accommodation.

Set back from The Lane, a highly desirable road in leafy Summersdale, this striking detached house presents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a beautifully arranged family home, ideally situated within easy reach of Chichester’s historic city centre.

About the property

Arranged over two floors, this thoughtfully designed detached residence offers well-appointed and tastefully presented accommodation throughout.

At the heart of the home is the kitchen/breakfast room, a bright dual-aspect space that is flooded with natural light. The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a range of integral appliances and finished with elegant Quartz worktops. From here, a side lobby with a garden door leads through to a practical cloakroom/utility room, providing excellent functionality. To the front of the property, a dining room, also dual aspect, comfortably accommodates a large table and chairs, making it ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. Beyond the modern kitchen the sitting room is a generous, light-filled space with lovely views over the front garden and French doors with glazed side panels opening onto the rear garden.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys an attractive outlook and features a built-in wardrobe, complemented by a contemporary en suite shower room. Bedrooms two and three both benefit from leafy views and built-in wardrobes, as does bedroom four, and are served by a well-proportioned family bathroom.

Outside

Rosemary Cottage is approached via a spacious gravel driveway providing parking for two to three cars. A beautifully mature front garden, bordered by established hedgerows and trees, offers a high degree of seclusion and features a generous lawned area.

The gardens extend to the side and rear, where a stone-paved sun terrace can be accessed directly from the sitting room, creating a perfect spot for outdoor dining and relaxation. Beyond this lies a neatly maintained lawn, enclosed by panel fencing for privacy.
