Property description
Set well back from the road and surrounded by farm land, Hammonds Farm occupies an exceptional setting. This attractive house is rose-clad to the front, with a fine wisteria on the rear elevation. Inside it retains many period features with a delightful inglenook fireplace, exposed ceiling timbers, flagged floors and a classic farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room.
Hammonds Farm has been transformed by its present owners, giving a fresh style throughout the interior. This spacious and welcoming house is full of charm.
The reception hall leads to a fine dining room with flagged stone floor and a wood -burner set in a large fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room is perfect for family life and for entertaining. With its imposing inglenook fireplace, the drawing room is light and airy and French doors lead to the conservatory with views across the garden.
The four bedrooms on the first floor are all of a good size with excellent built-in storage and views over the garden and beyond.
There is planning permission for conversion of the roof space to a bedroom and bathroom (15/00534/DOM - 15/00535/LBC) and planning permission for a kitchen extension (14/03008/DOM. 14/03009LBC).
The house sits in delightful grounds. An excellent range of outbuildings provides stabling, garaging and a workshop. The lovely gardens include sweeping lawns, mature trees and shrubs, a vegetable garden and a small orchard. A paved terrace provides an excellent area for entertaining, along with the swimming pool and tennis court. All set the scene for this charming home.
With its easy access to the harbour at Birdham Pool, Chichester Marina and Itchenor, Hammonds Farm is ideally suited to the keen yachtsman, with West Wittering beach only three miles to the south. Birdham has its own local post office and store as well as a popular church, primary school, sports ground and cricket club. The Salterns Way is a 12 mile path running from Chichester to Birdham, Itchenor and on to the Blue Flag beach of West Wittering.
The cathedral city of Chichester offers excellent high street shopping, many fashionable restaurants, cafes and bars, the Festival Theatre and a mainline station to London Victoria.
