House For Sale £1,250,000
Tucked away in a peaceful private marine close, Little Drewston is a unique, beautifully presented character home. Originally built circa 1928 in what was the apple orchards of Craigweil Manor for Sir Arthur Du Cros, the property was later extended in the 1960’s with a separate two-story extension. The present owners have further extended and modernised the property to form one home with flexible living accommodation.
Canons Close is a small private estate which comprises a mix of differing properties ranging from mature period homes to very modern contemporary residences. A quiet beach is within 200 yards of the property and access for the residents is via a secure gate. Local amenities can be found close by at Coastguards shopping parade, more comprehensive shopping facilities can be found at Rose Green.
Positioned between the Craigweil & Aldwick Bay private estates, approximately two miles to the West of Bognor Regis and six miles from Chichester, this delightful location provides an ease of access to the A27 and A29 along with the variety of coastal attractions such as events at Goodwood famed for its motor circuit and horse racing events, nearby Fontwell Park and historical city of Arundel.
The front door opens into an entrance/reception hall which provides access to the first floor and leads to a downstairs cloakroom with white suite, further doors lead to the lounge/diner and kitchen. A large, dual aspect, open plan living room with wood burning stove fireplace leads into a bright dining area with oak flooring throughout. French doors from both the living and dining areas lead to the rear garden.
The kitchen has been modernised in recent years with ceramic tiled floor and Corian work surfaces. A range of base, drawer and wall mounted units, Range cooker with Range extractor fan over and an integrated dishwasher and microwave have been installed. The entrance hall leads to the first floor and three of the five bedrooms; bedroom two measures 12’ x 7’2”, bedroom 3 measures 12’7” x 10’4”, bedroom 4 measures 9’10” x 9’2” as well as a modern bathroom and separate toilet. There is a further staircase which leads to a private master bedroom suite with en suite shower room and dressing area 22’2” x 14’1”. This room boasts sea glimpses.
The annex hallway leads from the dining area. Although this is used as one home by the owners, there is the capacity to isolate this section of the property. Each section has their own boiler and heating systems so can be controlled separately.
The annex hallway leads through to the utility room which has separate access from the driveway into the property, a range of base and wall units, a sink unit with mixer tap and space for washing machine and tumble dryer. Electrics have been installed that would allow for a cooker to be installed if needed. There is also access to a downstairs shower room/toilet.
Across the hall a door leads to the family room with open fireplace and large double doors that lead onto the rear garden. This room is currently utilised as a further sitting area but could be used as a 6th bedroom if necessary.
A second staircase leads to bedroom 5, 18’1” x 12’5” with its own en suite shower room. This bedroom benefits from being entirely separate from the others. The current owners find this useful when guests want a bit more privacy when they come to stay.
Externally, the front garden consists of a gravel in-and-out driveway with parking for a number of vehicles with a brick edged central bed and a good size brick built garage with access to the rear garden. Hardwood timber side gates give access to the rear of the property on both sides.
A delightful mature South East facing rear garden is well enclosed with a combination of brick walls and mature hedging, mainly laid to lawn with deep shrub borders, beds and a reclaimed York stone paved patio with ample seating area and space for alfresco dining.
