House For Sale £1,250,000
Hunston, Chichester, West Sussex

With its white painted façade and architectural symmetry, The White House is an appealing property which offers well-proportioned, light, airy and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. The central hallway gives access on one side to a relaxed drawing room centred around a feature fireplace and to the other aspect, there is a flexible-use reception room currently presented as a study/music room. To the rear, a generous open-plan kitchen/breakfast and dining room provides the sociable, light-filled hub of the home, with two sets of French doors offering a seamless transition into the garden. Fitted with wood-fronted cabinetry, topped by stone work surfaces, the kitchen features an island unit with breakfast bar which forms a functional divide to the dining area, with a practical adjoining utility. A separate family room and a cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, the principal suite provides a deluxe retreat, with four further bedrooms being accessed from the roomy landing. There is also a well-appointed family bathroom. Supplementary lodging is provided by the smart, brick-built annexe which offers studio accommodation with a modern kitchenette and shower room with bi-fold glass doors opening to the garden.

Evergreen hedging fronts the roadway, with access onto a gravelled driveway which provides parking for several vehicles. A row of sapling trees creates a boundary at the edge of the drive, with a timber gate opening onto a pathway leading to the property which is set back in its plot. The paved path which also links to the annexe has attractive cottage-style planting within deep borders to either side, with the front garden providing an array of colourful and fragrant flora, whilst climbing plants which adorn the façade of the house. The rear garden is beautifully landscaped with gravelled and paved settings for outdoor dining and relaxation, clipped hedging, and an area of lawn which is framed by pretty planting and specimen trees.

Situated just to the south of Chichester, the semi-rural village of Hunston offers a convenience store and post office, a popular public house, a parish church, a golf club and a village hall which hosts clubs and events. The cathedral city of Chichester offers excellent high street shopping, restaurants and cafés, and leisure facilities, as well as the renowned Festival Theatre. There are superb sailing facilities around Chichester Harbour and water sports from the beaches at Bracklesham and West Wittering and for wildlife and nature enthusiasts, the RSPB Pagham Harbour is close by along with miles of walks and cycle tracks over the South Downs and around the harbour.
