5 bed detached house for sale

Old Park Lane, Bosham PO18

A charming 19th Century house in an idyllic location.

Tucked away on a peaceful rural lane and surrounded by open fields, this characterful early 19th Century Grade II Listed knapped flint house offers a rare blend of period charm, seclusion and convenience, just a short walk from Bosham and a drive from the cathedral city of Chichester. This well presented property boasts oak flooring throughout the entrance hall, leading to a bright study and elegant dining room, each with captivating views over the surrounding countryside. A generous 20-foot triple-aspect garden room overlooks the south-facing terrace, landscaped garden and heated swimming pool, perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation. The main sitting room features a dual aspect, beamed ceiling, exposed brick chimney breast and a cosy wood-burning stove, with French doors opening directly onto the garden. At the heart of the home lies a spacious farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with oak cabinetry and a traditional four-oven oil-fired Aga set in a brick recess. A separate utility room keeps the main space tidy and functional.

Upstairs, five bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged over two separate landings. The principal suite enjoys breathtaking views across farmland to the South Downs and benefits from an en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom are situated off the west landing, while a second staircase leads to two more double bedrooms overlooking the open fields. Views of Chichester cathedral can also be enjoyed from the first floor.

The well-maintained gardens surround the home on three sides, with mature trees, fragrant borders, a walled lawn and multiple seating areas. There is a double garage with remote-controlled door and driveway.

Although the property experienced flooding within the last four years, comprehensive drainage and ditching improvements have since been installed by local landowner to prevent future issues.
