House For Sale £1,595,000
The Property
Tibur has been substantially improved and remodelled by the present owners to create a light, welcoming family home. The well-proportioned reception hall opens on to a central kitchen/dining/family room of over 23' in length which is the centre of everyday family living. This is fitted with an extensive range of contrasting cupboards and drawers, polished stone worksurfaces together with a breakfast bar and a good range of integrated appliances. An additional sitting room of some 19' in length has a fireplace with woodburning stove and both rooms have doors opening on to the terrace and garden.
The generous bedroom accommodation includes both principal and guest suites with three further bedrooms served by a well-appointed family bathroom. The annexe to the southern side of the house has its own entrance hall leading to a well-proportioned sitting room with doors on to the terrace and garden. There is room here for a fitted kitchenette if desired. The sixth bedroom is situated on the first floor with bathroom en-suite.
Outside
A five-bar gate opens on to a generous stone-shingled driveway and approach with car charging point and exterior power point. A car port provides a covered parking area and access to the garage. This has a power operated roller door, a deep recessed store cupboard and wash hand basin with roll top worksurface and storage beneath. The gardens are west-facing and a dual level terrace with ornamental planters runs the width of the house, approached by way of doors from the kitchen/family room, sitting room and annexe. Borders and planters are stocked with an attractive variety of olive trees, herbs and flowering shrubs. The remainder of the garden is laid to a neat area of lawn with hedged boundaries and a further circular terrace.
The Location
Fordwater Road is a leafy no-through lane on the northern edge of Summersdale, one of the most popular locations in Chichester due to its easy access to Chichester city centre, local schools and facilities. Convenience stores are located both in the Broadway and at the Co-op garage located in the nearby Lavant Road. There is a regular bus service into the centre of Chichester and Chichester Tennis Club, Oaklands Park and Chichester Rugby Club are all within easy travelling distance, as is the internationally known Festival Theatre. The pedestrianised city centre hosts a wide range of interesting local shops, bars, restaurants and cafes, Pallant House Gallery has one of the most significant modern art collections in the South of England and there is also a multi-screen cinema at Chichester Gate. The surrounding area has many attractions with Chichester Harbour providing some of the best sailing facilities within easy reach of London. The sandy beaches of East Head and neighbouring East Wittering attract many windsurfers, land boarders and kite surfers. To the north, the open countryside of the South Downs National Park provides miles of footpaths and bridlepaths. There are nearby rural walks from Fordwater Lane with easy access to the South Downs and the villages of East and West Lavant, both with good public houses/restaurants. Goodwood, only some 3 miles distant is already internationally known for its horse racing but also plays host to the annual Festival of Speed and Revival meeting at its historic motor circuit which are both now international events. Goodwood also has its own country club, members club and private airfield.
