Picture No. 17

House For Sale £3,950,000
Court Barn Lane, Birdham, Chichester


Description
The current building is a marvellous example of modernist architecture contemporary to the 1960's. The property is arranged over two floors topped with a roof terrace and viewing platform/lookout point.

Proposed property
Extending to some 5,700 sq ft the planning permission (Ref. No: 21/03007/FUL) provides for a stunning, predominantly glazed and environmentally sympathetic property, which has been designed to compliment and blend in with its surroundings.

The property will extend over three floors incorporating floor to ceiling glazing on multiple aspects with magical rooms really optimising the concept of indoor/outdoor living allowing the experience of living in a coastal environment in all seasons. The setting is a wonderful place to look outside in all weathers and enjoy wildlife as well as a marine lifestyle in the intensity of its raw natural state. The plot is so far back from the lane and so well hidden from the neighbours and yet enjoys a massive open vista of the changing sky and harbour. In addition, the use of verandahs and balconies amplifies the effect further. Internally, the property is centred around an dramatic vaulted galleried central reception with magnificent circular stairway over three floors. The design cleverly conceals a lift to all floors and, to top it all, the architect has come up with a design encompassing a spectacular sun lounge on the top floor that opens directly onto a vast roof terrace taking in the breathtaking views.

Potential for high speed fibre optic broadband.

Outside, the property is approached via a long, gravelled driveway, headed with a five bar gate, leading to an area of hard standing parking for several cars in front of the double garaging.

To the rear, the delightful gardens comprise, principally, sweeping lawns, edged with mature trees and
shrubs, beyond which is a fenced paddock leading to the shores of the harbour.
