LOCATION:

34 Westgate is located in a sought-after residential road which starts just outside Chichester’s historic City Wall to the west of the city centre. The property just 500m level walk from the cathedral and the main pedestrianised shopping precinct. Furthermore, it is convenient for a couple of large supermarkets, and access to the A27, which links with the A3(M) to the west providing a route north to the M25. There are bus stops nearby, and Chichester’s centrally located train station, about 0.5 of a mile to the south-east, provides services along the coast to Portsmouth and Brighton, and to London Victoria.

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. Located close to Chichester is the Goodwood Estate, which 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 Qatar Festival.

The South Downs National Park is within easy reach being about 2.5 miles to the north, and Chichester Harbour, along with Chichester Marina and Birdham Pool, are located just to the south-west, the harbour being home to several popular sailing clubs. Also, to the south-west, about 9 miles, is the sandy beach at West Wittering and the National Trust’s East Head sand dune spit at the stunning entrance to Chichester Harbour.
