A unique semi-detached flint cottage, thoughtfully extended to include a farmhouse kitchen with a contemporary bi-fold connection to the outside space, complimented by extensive gated parking, a detached double garage and ancillary accommodation in the form of a one bedroom self-contained annexe.
Upon entering via the entrance porch, the ground floor living accommodation comprises a lovely light sitting room with engineered oak flooring and feature fireplace. This room flows through to the library/dining room which features a wood burner. Beyond this is to be found a lovely farm house kitchen/breakfast room, which is well appointed and enjoys a contemporaneous connection to the outside space courtesy of bi-fold doors.
To the first floor a split landing takes you into the principal bedroom suite. This impressive room features a vaulted ceiling, an incredible garden view via glazed double doors and a Juliet balcony, and en suite shower room. Across the landing are three further bedrooms featuring varnished floorboards serviced by the family bathroom, which is spacious, well-lit by a large velux window and has a traditional suite including a free standing bath with shower attachment.
Gardens & Grounds
To the front of the property there is an area of garden, attractively laid to gravel and retained by a low level brick wall. A wrought iron gate and brick path give access to the entrance porch, whilst a gated driveway to the side allows for plenty of off road parking.
It should be realised that the gardens at Hope Cottage are truly special and reflect the design flair of the current owners who conceived the outside space in collaboration with a garden designer. The result is a garden that is full of surprises with something to delight at every turn. Extending to approximately three quarters of an acre, the garden is beautifully and thoughtfully planted with an extensive and gorgeous array of trees and shrubs. Immediately to the rear of the property a sun terrace is to be found and adjacent is a raised social seating space beneath a charming wooden tiled roof. A curated walkway flanked by mature Box Balls and additional planting, gives way to a gorgeous Grapevine and Clematis covered Pergoda walkway with a herringbone brick path which opens into the garden proper. Here are to found areas of lawn and sun terrace, complimented by extensively planted flower and shrub beds. The gardens are incredibly private, enclosed by mature hedgerows, and yet still giving up some far-reaching views to Halnaker Windmill.
There is a wonderful pond, formed in two parts and linked by a stream, manmade but you’d never know it, operating on a pumped circular system and providing an amazing back drop to a crafted garden of rare beauty.
At the end of the garden there is a spacious Oak barn style car port with low level brick elevations upon a concrete base which is accessed through a field gate, navigated to via a further Code Protected gate off Strettington Lane. To the right of the Oak barn is an extensive vegetable patch, retained by picket fencing and hedgerows and featuring a trio of large, raised beds complimented by a greenhouse and a generous garden shed / hobby room which has a pitched and slate tiled roof.
Adjacent to the main house a detached double garage incorporates a self-contained annexe featuring kitchenette, shower room and a comfortable studio bedroom space with a wonderful view of the garden. The garage itself is spacious and built to accommodate two vehicles of size.
Note: In the garage is a control box for ’Fronius’ Photo Voltaic Microgenerating System resulting in a net gain to the national grid.
The hamlet of Strettington is surrounded by open countryside and is conveniently located just three miles to the north east of Chichester on the edge of the Goodwood Estate and within easy reach of the many attractions that the Estate provides, including its internationally known racecourse, golf course and the nearby racing circuit and aerodrome. Goodwood also hosts the annual Festival of Speed and Revival meetings at its historic motor circuit.
The historic cathedral city of Chichester offers comprehensive shopping facilities and a choice of social and recreational activities, all of which are easily accessible through the mainly level pedestrian areas of the beautifully preserved city. Cultural activities include the Pallant House Gallery and Festival Theatre. There are renowned schools in the area, both in the public and the private sector. The mainline station in Chichester provides a regular service to London Victoria in about 1 hour 40 minutes (via Gatwick Airport), and Havant station to the west provides a faster service to London Waterloo in about 1 hour 20 minutes.
