Just south of Chichester centre a quiet road lined with Victorian townhouses is the setting for this contemporary holiday home. Finished and furnished with style Wickland Cottage features lovely design details and a smart colour palette creating a soft welcoming ambience.
Entering from the hall into the large open plan living/dining room the cosy seating area with log burner invites you in. The smart kitchen is well-equipped with appliances including a Nespresso coffee machine.
The first floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom. Heading into the loft room on the second floor there is another lovely light and airy bedroom. Dual aspect windows offer glimpses over the rooftops to Chichester Cathedral spire, Goodwood Racecourse and the Trundle in the distant haze. Outside the south-facing rear garden has a lawn and patio with table and chairs to enjoy the long summer evenings. Behind the rear garden there is also private parking with just enough space for two cars a feature rarely available so close to the centre of this Roman city steeped in history and culture. Local artwork and Goodwood prints adorn the walls harking to the nearby heritage.
Wickland Cottage is perfect for a weekend or week long self-catering breaks to explore West Sussex with the family. It is an easy 10-minute stroll from Wickland Cottage into the centre of Chichester. Small yet cosmopolitan this ancient city is steeped in history including the majestic cathedral and the fantastically preserved Roman walls. A wealth of listed buildings edge the streets with character including an excellent range of independent and high street shops, pubs and restaurants. Chichester is full of culture to absorb with the renowned Festival Theatre a mile away and several art galleries and museums including the fine Pallant House Gallery. Fishbourne Roman Palace is a short drive and combined with a walk around the city walls it brings this fascinating period of British history to life.
For walking, exploring and days out in the area you will find Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a wide expanse of sand at the stunning award-winning beach of West Wittering and of course the beautiful South Downs National Park. Head to the car park at Trundle hill for spectacular panoramic views over Chichester and the Sussex coast all the way to the Isle of Wight on a clear day.
For some classically British pastimes the famous Goodwood Estate offers a range of activities including a championship golf course, the motor circuit racecourse and aerodrome. All offer an exciting calendar of events throughout the year with particular mention to the Festival of Speed, the Goodwood Revival and Glorious Goodwood. Shop 175 yards, pub and restaurant ½ mile.
