5 bedroom detached house for sale
Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
Keycroft is a fine example of Georgian architecture in red brick over three storeys with its classic symmetrical form and fenestration including its panelled front door. Today, the property is in need of a full programme of modernisation throughout.
The ground floor consists of an attractive entrance hall with oak flooring providing access to the drawing room and library to either side. The hall leads onto a garden room with conservatory beyond and a cloakroom. During the 1930s, we believe, a rear addition was constructed to form an inner hallway which links the kitchen to the main body of the house, enjoying an outlook across the rear garden. Stairs lead from the entrance hall to the first floor comprising three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate cloakroom. Stairs from the first floor landing with its large sash window flooding it with natural light, lead to the second floor which features two bedrooms, one with its own adjoining study room. and a large attic/loft room.
Keycroft is accessed via wrought iron gates into a tarmac driveway which has parking for a number of vehicles. There is the addition of a detached granary with dovecote atop its roof, which could represent a workshop or outside office. To the rear of the granary is a single garage. The property sits centrally within its plot of just under a third of an acre with a combination of yew hedging and mature trees and shrubs creating privacy around the boundaries. The garden is well maintained which is mainly laid to lawn with the addition of some beautiful specimen trees.
The property is situated in the heart of the hamlet of Highleigh which is situated towards the centre of the Manhood peninsula, about five miles south of Chichester city centre and a short distance from both Chichester Marina and Birdham Pool. Much of the surrounding area is populated by rare wildlife and designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. East Wittering is about 3 miles distant and has an excellent variety of shops and restaurants including a health centre, dentist and library.
The historic cathedral city of Chichester offers comprehensive shopping facilities and a choice of social and recreational activities, all of which are easily accessible through the mainly level pedestrian areas of the beautifully preserved city. Cultural activities include the Pallant House Gallery and Festival Theatre. The mainline station in Chichester provides a regular service to London Victoria in about 1 hour 40 minutes (via Gatwick Airport), and Havant station to the west provides a faster service to London Waterloo in about 1 hour 20 minutes. Events and sporting activities in the area include the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Revival events for motoring enthusiasts, horseracing at Goodwood and Fontwell racecourses, polo at Cowdray Park, golf at nearby Goodwood, and bathing off the beaches at the Witterings. Chichester Harbour has a multitude of moorings (subject to availability) and there are nearby berthing and lifting facilities in both Birdham Pool and Chichester Marina.
