4 bed terraced house for sale

South Pallant, Chichester PO19

12 South Pallant is a substantial and characterful period Grade II listed townhouse occupying a highly desirable position in the historic centre of Chichester.

Arranged over several floors, the house offers a generous and wonderfully versatile layout, with elegant reception rooms, three/four bedrooms, extensive cellar accommodation, a private courtyard garden and the particularly rare benefit of a garage.

The ground floor has an appealing traditional feel, with a welcoming entrance hall leading through to the principal reception rooms. The dining room is positioned to the front and is a handsome, well-proportioned space, with built-in display and storage cabinetry adding both character and practicality.

Beyond this is the sitting room, a comfortable and inviting room with a feature fireplace and glazed doors opening towards the rear courtyard, creating a lovely connection between the house and outside space.

The kitchen is positioned to the rear and retains plenty of charm, with exposed timbers and views towards the courtyard. It is complemented by a separate utility room and ground-floor cloakroom, adding useful practicality to the accommodation.

One of the most unusual features of the property is the cellar. Extending beneath a significant part of the house, it provides two substantial areas and offers an exceptional amount of ancillary space. Whether retained for storage, wine, hobbies or workshop use, it is a real asset and adds another dimension to the property.

The first floor provides two bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom, together with a shower room. The second bedroom is also well proportioned and could work equally well as a guest room or home office.

On the second floor is a further large bedroom, together with an additional bathroom and a separate single bedroom which could lend itself to a dressing room, study, nursery or useful storage space.

Outside, the enclosed courtyard garden is full of character and provides a private space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Mature planting softens the space, while the paved finish keeps maintenance relatively straightforward.

The property also benefits from a garage - an increasingly rare and valuable feature for a house in such a central city position.

The accommodation would now benefit from some updating in places, but the scale, proportions and layout provide an excellent basis for a purchaser to create a very special city home.

Altogether, this is a fascinating and highly individual property with a wealth of space and character, positioned in one of Chichester’s most attractive central streets and offering considerable potential for its next owner.

Nb: Garage Access Charge: Access to the garage is subject to an annual charge payable to Chichester District Council, currently £3,000 per annum. This charge relates to vehicular access across the council-owned pavement to reach the garage.

Location

South Pallant is one of Chichester’s most established and sought-after city-centre addresses, positioned within the historic heart of the city and just moments from its shops, restaurants, cafés and cultural attractions.

The property is particularly well placed for Pallant House Gallery, Chichester Cathedral and the Festival Theatre, while the mainline railway station is also within easy reach, providing services towards London and along the south coast.

Despite its central position, South Pallant has a distinctive residential feel, with attractive period architecture and immediate access to everything the city has to offer. The surrounding countryside, Chichester Harbour and the beaches of the Witterings are also readily accessible.
