2 bedroom terraced house

Description:

Situated in the pretty rural hamlet of Halnaker just outside the southern reaches of the South Downs National Park and only about 3 miles to the northeast of Chichester, 2 Adelaide Cottages is a charming period terraced house believed to be a former farm workers' cottage. Although in need of considerable modernisation and redecoration, the property represents a unique opportunity to acquire a character cottage with a glorious and unusually large (approx. 0.32 of an acre) mature garden set approx. 208ft or 85m beyond the rear of the terrace. The house itself is located in the Halnaker Conservation Area and has a lovely view to the front over Tinwood Vineyard from the sitting room and first floor principal bedroom. The accommodation further comprises a kitchen/dining room leading to a useful conservatory/rear lobby with store area and rear access, a modern ground floor shower room/wc, and a second double bedroom on the first floor.

Outside, there is a small front garden bounded by a flint and brick wall, and a private gated driveway to the side of the terrace providing parking for a couple of cars. However, the outstanding feature of the property is the surprisingly large and captivating garden set well to the rear and accessed via a shared path running alongside attractive neighbours' gardens. This beautiful feature garden area, measuring about a third of an acre, is mainly laid to lawn and is divided into 2/3 sections with an abundance of well-established shrubbery and trees, greenhouse, vegetable patches, and a timber summerhouse. In short, a potential paradise for a garden enthusiast.

Location:

Best known for its lovely landmark mid-19th century windmill on top of Halnaker Hill, but also the home of the successful Tinwood Vineyard and the Anglesey Arms pub, the attractive and popular rural hamlet of Halnaker is situated on the southern fringe of the South Downs National Park only about 3 miles to the northeast of Chichester. There is a bus service from the village to Chichester city and there is a local shop in the neighbouring village of Boxgrove. The cathedral city of Chichester offers excellent high-street shopping, many fashionable restaurants, cafes, bars, a leisure centre with swimming pool, sports clubs, cinemas, and is home to the Pallant House Gallery and the renowned Festival Theatre. Chichester also has a mainline train station with regular services to London Victoria, and along the coast to Portsmouth and Brighton. The very nearby Goodwood Estate is famous for its many sporting event days including the much-celebrated Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival for motor racing enthusiasts, and a season of horse racing including the Glorious Goodwood Festival.
