2 bed detached bungalow for sale

Tudor Drive, Chichester, West Sussex PO20

Property Ref: 16469

This Lodge is a charming, characterful and unique detached two-bedroom ground floor property, packed full of quirky, interesting features. With a long history dating in part back to the 1500s, it was originally the barn for neighbouring Tudor dwellings. Some 100 years ago, it served as the village tearooms before being converted and extended to a single residence in c1998. It is also a flexible home, which could serve different purposes for different buyers.
The property has undergone a series of improvements over the past few years, including a recently fitted Howdens kitchen with new flooring, an extensive new damp course, part roof re-tiling and verge work with traditional Sussex tiles, and complete redecoration inside and out. It has a low maintenance, gated front garden and rear west-facing courtyard garden. All windows are leaded, adding to the traditional, period feel of the property, with the original timber door to the front, leading to a small open porch.
Inside, a short hallway leads from the stable-style door to the kitchen on the left, and then to the beautiful double-aspect oak beamed living room. This striking space incorporates a full-height inglenook fireplace with log burner, whilst the original Tudor wall is still visible behind the hearth. The bespoke chandelier and lamps are of local wrought ironwork, adding to the historic and unique character. To one side, an open-tread staircase leads up to the converted former hayloft; this versatile mezzanine space could form extra living or bedroom accommodation, or be used as a recreation area. Further loft space leads off via a separate door. Downstairs, double patio doors open out onto the rear courtyard garden, which provides ample space for a patio table and chairs for eating outside.
The adjacent dining room also has exposed beams, with a feature Victorian cast-iron fireplace, large window to the east and original serving hatch opposite. This room could serve as extra bedroom accommodation if needed as the newly appointed kitchen is generously sized, with ample space for seating as a combined breakfast room.
Two bedrooms and a bathroom lead off the dining room, which is where the old barn originally ended. A Tudor beam marks this point. The smaller bedroom lies to the front and can accommodate a six-foot single bed. A fully tiled modern bathroom with heated towel rail is next door, and the larger bedroom lies to the rear.
The property is fitted throughout with double glazed uPVC windows, a Glow-worm combi gas boiler in the kitchen, trv radiators throughout, fitted 80-20 carpets, and new laminate flooring in the kitchen and hallway. All doors are panelled with ironwork handles.
To the rear there is a small shed, lockable gate, and single car parking space on the gravelled driveway, with further road parking unrestricted. It is the first property on the shared and privately maintained Tudor Drive, facing the A29 to the east and B2233 to the north.
Westergate is a thriving, community-led village, still with its own post office, convenience store, petrol station, secondary school academy and veterinary practice, all within walking distance. Eastergate primary school lies in the adjacent village. The nearby village of Barnham affords a mainline train station with access to London, Victoria. The protected National Trust forest and estate of Slindon are just 10 minutes by car, as is Goodwood estate. The wider area provides easy travel via the A27 to nearby Arundel with its castle, many bespoke shops and restaurants, or in the opposite direction to the cathedral city of Chichester, the south coast beaches and South Downs - each within less than 10 miles.
