Mill Lane, Sidlesham, Chichester

Somerley House is a well-presented, beautifully-decorated family home offering wonderful light-filled generous and flexible accommodation. Sensitively modernised and extended to combine the amenities of modern living with a period atmosphere, featuring large sash windows, good ceiling heights, characterful working fireplace and a wealth of parquet flooring throughout the generous ground floor.

The accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall with useful storage and comprises a spacious sitting room, a well-proportioned office and a separate study with French doors. At the heart of the house is a spectacular open plan kitchen/sitting room/dining room, a stunning family and entertaining space flooded with natural light provided by a large sky lantern and full-height glazing incorporating two sets of French doors to the rear terrace. The kitchen provides a range of contemporary high-gloss wall and floor units with a large central island with breakfast bar, quartz worktops and a fantastic range of integrated appliances, while the sitting area has an open fireplace and the dining area has a lovely vaulted ceiling and provides a great space for a large table. There is also a useful fitted utility room with separate access to outside.

On the first floor, the property offers a spacious rear aspect principal bedroom, three further well-proportioned bedrooms and a large modern family bathroom with twin basins, bath and separate walk-in shower.

Occupying a plot of just under half an acre, the property is approached via a gravel driveway offering parking for multiple vehicles and giving access to the detached brick-built double garage to the rear of the house. The garage opens into a ground floor workshop with a door to the garden and internal stairs to a 24 ft. first floor space with Velux skylights. This presents and would provide the perfect home office or self-contained accommodation. The large L-shaped rear garden, a particular feature of this property, is laid mainly to level lawn screened by a variety of mature shrubs and trees. It features well-stocked flowerbeds, an enclosed vegetable garden with raised beds, a potting shed, a lightly-wooded copse, numerous seating areas and a paved terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.

Just 500 yards from Sidlesham Quay and the
popular Crab & Lobster restaurant, the property
enjoys an enviable rural position. Sidlesham has a 24 hour village shop and the nearby town of Selsey provides supermarkets and amenities. A wider range of shops, cultural attractions and leisure facilities, can be found in Chichester to the north. Chichester benefits from a mainline railway station with services to London (Victoria) and Gatwick, while the nearby A27 provides a link to other South Coast towns.
