Description

Nestled behind a sun-drenched, 60-foot garden, this charming coach house cottage offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Accessible via shared pathways across Palatine Gardens, the property features a sizeable private parking area that enhances its appeal. The lawned garden, adorned with mature apple trees, leads directly to the cottage, where potential abounds. The interior comprises three reception rooms, a kitchen, and dual conservatories—one serving as an inviting entryway and the other providing access to a cozy courtyard garden at the back. This outdoor space features decorative borders and an ornamental pond, presenting a tranquil setting ripe for reimagining. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms along with a bathroom. While the current owner has cherished this home over the years, it is evident that updates are needed to meet modern standards and personal preferences. Fishbourne is situated on the northern banks of Chichester Harbour, offering picturesque walks through reed beds and scenic countryside along Fishbourne Channel. The village boasts a strong sense of community with amenities such as a club, playing field, primary school, pub, and parish church equipped with a community hall. Notably, Fishbourne is renowned for being home to the Fishbourne Roman Palace—an archaeological treasure uncovered in 1960 that remains one of the UK's largest Roman residences. Located just two miles from Chichester city center, residents can enjoy an array of shops, restaurants, bars, and recreational facilities including a multi-screen cinema and sports centers. The city's vibrant cultural scene features the esteemed Chichester Festival Theatre as well. Transportation options are robust; proximity to the A27 provides convenient road access to Portsmouth and Brighton while the nearby railway halt connects passengers to coastal destinations as well as London via Havant or Chichester. For those with active lifestyles or interests in sports and recreation, the surrounding South Downs National Park offers myriad opportunities for hiking and biking. Additionally, Chichester Harbour is favored by sailors due to its many clubs nearby in Bosham and Emsworth. Goodwood's various events—including racing days at its famed racecourse—enhance local charm alongside recreational offerings such as golf courses. This property presents not just a comfortable home but also significant potential for transformation in an area rich with history and community spirit.
