Discreetly positioned within the highly sought-after Summersdale area, The Tree House is a striking, architect-designed detached residence with an annexe offers an exceptional blend of contemporary design, versatility and location. Thoughtfully created to embrace both modern living and connection with the outdoors, this distinctive home provides an enviable lifestyle just moments from Chichester’s historic city centre and the surrounding countryside.

Extending to approximately 2,070sq.ft the principal residence has been carefully designed to provide predominantly lateral living, complemented by beautifully crafted first-floor accommodation with vaulted ceilings and impressive architectural detail throughout.

Upon entering, the sense of space and light is immediate. The heart of the home is the beautifully conceived open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, thoughtfully zoned to create designated areas for both relaxed seating and formal dining. The kitchen is centred around a generous island with extensive storage and integrated appliances, forming a natural hub for everyday living and social gatherings alike. The dining area is perfectly positioned for entertaining, while the sitting space provides an inviting environment for day-to-day relaxation.

Expansive ceramic flooring with underfloor heating flows seamlessly throughout the ground floor and extends out onto the terrace via impressive multi-panel bi-fold doors, allowing indoor and outdoor living to merge effortlessly and flooding the space with natural light.

A separate snug to the rear of the house offers a more intimate retreat, perfect for relaxed evenings, while a large utility room and cloakroom provide practical functionality without compromising on style.

The first floor continues the home’s architectural narrative, where vaulted ceilings introduce a wonderful sense of volume and refined elegance. At its centre, the striking double-height landing is bathed in natural light and opens onto a Juliet balcony, creating an adaptable space ideal for a reading area, study nook or quiet retreat, with elevated views across the garden and towards Roussillon Park beyond.

Three generously proportioned bedrooms are complemented by a beautifully appointed family bathroom, while the principal suite provides a luxurious sanctuary, featuring a bespoke dressing area, stylish en-suite bathroom and a heated linen cupboard

Currently arranged as a double bedroom with en-suite facilities and a striking double-height living space, the annexe offers exceptional flexibility. It has recently achieved recognition, having been listed in the top 5% Airbnb in the World, hosted by the current owners, a testament to both its design quality and guest experience.

Whether used for multigenerational living, guest accommodation, a home office or studio, or continued as a highly successful holiday let (subject to any necessary consents), the annexe represents a rare opportunity to combine lifestyle and income potential. Additional storage to the rear and a useful loft area further enhance its practicality.

Gardens & Grounds
The private, walled garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create an elegant yet low-maintenance outdoor environment. Feature external lighting enhances the ambience, while a pathway leads from the entertaining terrace across manicured lawns and borders to the annexe, framed by the mature tree that gives the property its name.

To the front, a parking forecourt provides off-road parking for three vehicles, offering both convenience and peace of mind.
