The superbly presented accommodation now provides the perfect blend of original character and contemporary style with a wealth of features, including flagstone and timber floors, under-tile heating to the new stone tiled floors, open fireplaces, modern bathrooms and kitchen, increased thermal insulation, new zoned heating and electric systems, including

4 CAT5 and satellite cabling, and a fire alarm system. Great attention to detail has been paid during the restoration work, as evidenced in the complementary joinery work, with detailed cornices and architraves, deep skirting boards, and sash windows, some with working shutters. On the ground floor, there are two reception rooms, both double aspect and with fireplaces. The rear hall provides access to the dining room, beyond which is the kitchen which has been classically fitted with Sylvarna units, granite worktops, a gas fired Aga and appliances including a hob, oven, and dishwasher. Double doors open into the charming garden hall and beyond to the garden studio. A pantry, with slate shelving and meat hook, and an adjoining large utility room provide valuable storage space. Accessed from the cloakroom with feature exposed brick walls, steps lead down to a small wine store. On the first floor there are 4 bedrooms, each with an en-suite, and on the second floor, 2 further bedrooms, a shower room, and a snug/bedroom 7. Of note are the well-proportioned rooms, many of which have lovely views either of Westgate s predominantly Georgian streetscape or, to the rear, a southerly outlook over the garden. Outside It is unusual to find a garden of this size so close to the centre of the city. Divided into three separate areas, the enclosed gardens are an absolute delight and a total surprise. The garden closest to the house is laid to lawn with a small pond, several terraces and a pergola supported by stone columns. Steps lead up to an elevated garden with a majestic Tree of Heaven, certified as being the largest in the United Kingdom, beyond which steps lead down to the lower rear garden. This leafy third garden has a distinct layout with paths meandering around well-stocked borders, two dipping ponds and tucked away, a private seating area. A pedestrian gate provides access out to the parking area and to Mount Lane. Parking Commencing 3rd of December 2014, a 10- year repairing and insuring lease covers the gravelled strip of land between Mount Lane and the property, designated for domestic parking and amenity use. 2,200/per annum (2015) is payable quarterly in advance to the landlord (Chichester College).
