Packed with period features this elegant Chichester house wouldn’t look out of place in an historic drama
Where: The Avenue, Chichester, West Sussex
What: Nestled along a tree-lined avenue in the historic city of Chichester, this period home is bursting with original features, including exposed beams, cornicing and a vaulted ceiling. But behind the leafy setting and elegant Bridgerton-esque façade is a house that not only has charm in abundance but has been tastefully modernised for modern living.
Inside: This house in vibrant Chichester has style and substance – and while it has been brought up to date with sympathetic additions, there is still plenty of scope to enhance the graceful interior. The double-fronted house was made for a large family and entertaining with three/four reception rooms downstairs with bay windows, cornicing, and fireplaces. The main sitting room has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and French doors out to the garden.
A sun room is perfect for relaxing or could easily be transformed into a downstairs bedroom or office, while cooks will love the traditional kitchen with adjoining utility room. There’s also a wet room and separate contemporary bathroom on the ground floor.

Upstairs there are six bedrooms over two storeys, a cloakroom and two family bathrooms.
Outside: The house is reached by a sweeping gravel driveway hidden by mature shrubs and trees. The garage and driveway mean there’s enough room for several vehicles and the large garden to the rear makes an idyllic backdrop.
High borders of hedging, conifers and colourful flowerbeds wrap-around the substantial lawn adding a feeling of seclusion, and a paved patio is ideal for al fresco dining. There’s even a greenhouse for growing your own fruit and vegetables.
