Chichester House | Peaceful 18th C Country House In The Heart Of A Nature Reserve, Near Chichester

5 Bedroom House in Chichester, Chilgrove

The property was built in the 18th Century by the groom to the bedchamber of George II as a smallpox isolation hospital (and featured on the BBC's House Detectives) but is now a large comfortable family home - plenty of space for multi-generational families and ideal for reunions. The large garden has mature flower beds, fruit trees and a large pond (fenced) with an island. The property itself is set in the middle of a wood in the Kingley Vale Nature Reserve within South Downs National Park but is only a 20 minute drive from Chichester and the market town of Petersfield. The property is 15 minutes drive from Goodwood and 30 minutes drive from West Wittering beach. There is a cancellation/refund policy. It is a birdwatcher's paradise - we recorded over 43 different birds in the garden within the space of 1 day. It is a truly magical, tranquil place - an oasis in the middle of the forest with footpaths and cycle routes going straight from the property into the woods and beyond to the Devil's Humps where there are views of the Isle of Wight and Solent.

Summary: A great characterful property in a wonderful secluded setting within a nature reserve. The property is large, but homely and the children loved running around the two main staircases and the lounge with the piano and drum kit. We also loved the piano and the music Rachel kindly left was very much appreciated. We were a 3 gen family of 11 and could sit round the dining room table with ease. The kitchen was new and very well equipped for everything you could possibly want.The 3 bedded childrens room was amazing, with a huge range of wooden toys. Also an extensive selection of books too. The other bedtooms were all comfortable.The gardens were safe for children, a beautiful fenced in pond, a range of play equipment and lovely places to sit and listen to the birds. The garden had a fence all the way round so we could relax knowing everyone was safe.Wifi was a little patchy but worked well most of the time and my mobile phone reception was a bit sporadic in the house but there were places I could get a decent signal even with ee. We stayed during a very dry spell, except for our last day, and being a lot of us, the water supply struggled a bit, particularly the shower in the top bedroom and the king room. The shower in the main bathroom was brilliant though. We just ensured we staggered our times. The downstairs toilet has some fascinating literature about the property, well worth reading. Only one of the staircases had a handrail though. The track was fine.
