Compton, Chichester, PO18

Set in approximately 0.34 of an acre of mature gardens and grounds a spacious family home requiring some modernisation located close to the idyllic Downland village of Compton with open views over farmland

DESCRIPTION:

Ladyholt Cottage is an attractive four bedroom detached house located in an idyllic and tranquil rural location some 2.4 miles from the popular downland village of Compton. The property, which would benefit from some modernisation, offers excellent views over open farmland to the south and to Ditcham woods to the north and is understood to be a former Coach House which has been converted into a spacious residence extending to approximately 2,205 sq. ft. exuding rustic charm and character. Sitting in approximately 0.34 acres of attractive gardens and grounds the accommodation briefly comprises as follows:

On the ground floor double doors lead into an entrance porch with door leading into a large dual aspect reception hall with log burner. A door leads into the well-equipped kitchen with a range of fitted base and wall cupboard, inset 1 ½ bowl stainless steel sink with mixer tap, a free standing four ring electric cooker with two ovens, plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher. An opening leads into the dining room with double doors opening onto the south facing terrace and garden. Also accessed from the dining room is a staircase, one of two, leading to the 1st floor. From the reception hall a door leads to the utility room with a range of fitted base and wall cupboards, Butler sink with mixer tap, large cupboard and space for appliances. A further door leads from the reception hall into the study with stairs to the second floor. Off the sitting room is the rear lobby with door to outside and access to both the utility room and a useful ground floor shower room.

The first floor is accessed via the staircase in the dining room and leads to a vaulted stairwell with steps leading down to one room subdivided into two smaller rooms by virtue of a wall to 1m. N.B. It is felt that these rooms could be partitioned off into separate rooms as both areas can be accessed by their own stairwells and they could equally be used as dressing rooms. From the stairwell is also access to a good size double bedroom with ensuite bathroom.

The second floor is approached from the staircase from the study/hall. On this floor is a good size double bedroom, two single bedrooms and a cloakroom. N.B. The smaller of these bedrooms could easily be adapted to create an ensuite bathroom subject to the necessary planning consents.

Outside, the property is approached via a gravel driveway leading to the main house, garage, and workshop/store. To the front of the house, bounded by a mature hedge, is an attractive garden with raised beds and specimen trees. To the rear of the house is a lawned garden with paved patio area, shrub borders and mature trees. The whole extends to approximately 0.34 of an acre.
