Strettington Lane, Strettington, PO18

A substantial period home in sought-after Strettington, offering generous accommodation, a wealth of character, considerable potential and an exceptional position close to Goodwood and Chichester.

A substantial and characterful period home offering generous and versatile accommodation, set in the sought-after hamlet of Strettington, on the edge of the Goodwood Estate. Stratone Manor presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive property.

The house has a wonderful sense of character throughout, with exposed timbers, leaded windows, traditional fireplaces and well-proportioned rooms combining to create a distinctive family home. While there is scope for updating and modernisation, the scale and layout provide an excellent basis from which a purchaser could enhance the property to their own taste.

The ground floor offers an excellent selection of reception spaces. The principal sitting room is a particularly impressive room, featuring substantial exposed beams and timbers together with a large traditional fireplace forming an attractive focal point. There is ample space for several seating areas, making this a superb room for both everyday family life and entertaining.

Further reception accommodation provides considerable flexibility, with rooms suitable for formal dining, a family room, snug or home office depending on requirements. The traditional character continues throughout, with further fireplaces, timber detailing and attractive leaded windows.

The kitchen is another generously proportioned room and retains a traditional country-house feel, with extensive cabinetry, plenty of worktop space and an Aga-style range. There is room for informal dining, while the adjoining accommodation provides the potential to create a particularly impressive kitchen, dining and family space should a purchaser wish to remodel in the future, subject to any necessary consents.

The ground floor is completed by useful ancillary accommodation, adding to the practicality of the house and making it particularly well suited to family living.

Upstairs, the generous proportions continue with an excellent selection of bedrooms. The principal bedroom is an especially spacious room with extensive fitted wardrobes and plenty of room for additional furniture. The remaining bedrooms are also well proportioned, with several retaining attractive period details including fireplaces, exposed timbers and leaded windows.

The first floor also provides the existing bathroom accommodation, which, together with parts of the wider house, offers an opportunity for a new owner to modernise and potentially reconfigure to suit contemporary family requirements.

Throughout Stratone Manor, it is the combination of scale, individuality and period character that really stands out. The property is not simply a house requiring updating, but an increasingly rare opportunity to take an already impressive period home and create something particularly special in one of the Chichester area's most desirable semi-rural locations.

With Goodwood, the South Downs National Park and Chichester all within easy reach, Stratone Manor offers an appealing combination of substantial accommodation, historic character and an exceptional location.
