7 Duke’s Cottages is a splendid detached property offering more than 1,500 sq. ft of well-appointed accommodation arranged over two light-filled floors.

The accommodation flows from a reception hall to three ground-floor reception rooms, providing flexible space in which to relax or entertain. These include a generously proportioned sitting room with wooden flooring, fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove and large west-facing bay window welcoming plenty of natural light. Double doors lead from the sitting room to the light-filled dining room, which benefits from a dual aspect, with south-facing French doors opening onto the gardens and skylights above, and a spacious, well-equipped kitchen creating a light, welcoming area for dining and entertaining.

The kitchen is fitted with modern white units to base and wall level, wooden worktops and integrated appliances, which include a double oven, a gas hob and an extractor hood. Leading off the entrance hall the front-facing study/ bedroom with adjoining shower room, provides more flexible work and accommodation space.

A turned staircase leads from the entrance hall to the first-floor landing, off which there are three wellpresented double bedrooms. These include the principal bedroom, which has an en suite shower room with a corner shower unit, a concealed cistern WC, a pedestal washbasin, floor-to-ceiling tiling and a mirrored vanity unit, while the family bathroom has a large corner bathtub with a shower attachment. The two additional upstairs bedrooms include one with built-in wardrobes, while the other has a dual aspect overlooking the gardens.

Outside

At the entrance, a shared gravel driveway provides access to the cottage’s set-back, secluded position. The property’s private gravelled front drive include several parking spaces and a detached carport and large, well-equipped workshop. The gardens surrounding the house have gravel terracing for al fresco dining, as well as lawn, gravel pathways, border beds with lavender and various flowering perennials, a wealth of established shrubs, hedgerows and mature trees.

The bustling village of Tangmere lies in a well connected position within easy reach of Chichester and local transport connections, with a bus stop at the end of the driveway. The village has a local shop, a medical centre, a dental surgery, a parish church and a community hall. The historic cathedral city of Chichester offers a wide range of cultural, leisure and shopping facilities, including the renowned Festival Theatre and Pallant House Gallery. Goodwood, to the north, is well known for its horse racing events in addition to the Festival of Speed and Revival Meetings which it hosts. A country club at Goodwood also offers golf, swimming and tennis. Sailing may be enjoyed from the many centres around Chichester Harbour and bathing and windsurfing from the beaches at the Witterings. Chichester has a mainline railway station with services to London (Victoria) and Gatwick, and the A27 provides a link to other South Coast towns.
