Property description
Old Place House is a stunning and architecturally interesting attached former farmhouse which occupies a wonderful position just outside Chichester and within easy reach of Goodwood. Dating back approximately 400 years, this Grade II listed house was formerly owned by Graylingwell Hospital, with the farm providing food for the hospital. It was subsequently sold to the Goodwood Estate, before being converted into separate dwellings.
Old Place House is one of the largest of the dwellings and has pretty gardens which wrap around the side of the house. It is beautifully maintained and very well presented throughout. The ground floor has an attractive reception room with a stunning fireplace and exposed brick and beam wall, a kitchen / breakfast room with a Rangemaster oven in the fireplace and a garden room. In addition there is a wood panelled study, utility room and WC.
There are five bedrooms over the first and second floors, including two with en suite shower rooms, a family bathroom and a further bathroom servicing the top floor bedroom. The master bedroom has a pretty fireplace and some exposed brickwork and beams.
A gravel drive leads to a pair of single garages behind the house. In addition there is a small outbuilding with the oil tank and a log store. The pretty gardens are a particular feature of the property with well stocked borders and a large area of lawn.
Goodwood is of course close by with its historic motor racing circuit, airfield with aero club and racecourse. The Goodwood Park Hotel with sports and leisure facilities and two superb golf courses both part of the Duke of Richmond's estate are just up the road.
Chichester offers excellent high street shopping and a wide range of fashionable cafes, restaurants and bars. There is also a wide range of recreational and cultural amenities including the renowned Festival Theatre. There are superb sailing facilities around Chichester Harbour and windsurfing from the beaches at West Wittering. The area is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts, with beautiful walks and cycle tracks over the South Downs and around the harbour.
