About
This beautifully extended and improved five bedroom 1930’s semi-detached family home offers an impressive blend of period charm and modern comfort, situated in a highly sought-after location within Patcham.
The property is vendor suited with a complete chain onwards, ensuring a smooth transition for prospective buyers.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by an inviting living room featuring a classic bay window, a characterful fireplace, and exposed wooden flooring, creating a warm and elegant space for relaxation or entertaining guests.
The well-equipped kitchen is thoughtfully designed and seamlessly leads through to the dining area, which enjoys lovely views over the rear garden and provides a sociable atmosphere for family meals or hosting friends.
Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged over two floors, offering flexibility and generous proportions throughout.
There is a family bathroom on the first floor and a convenient shower room on the second floor, catering to the needs of a growing household.
Each of the five bedrooms is well-proportioned, with the upper floors benefitting from far-reaching views across Patcham and towards the picturesque South Downs.
The property’s layout offers excellent potential to reconfigure or adapt the space to suit individual requirements, whether that be merging the two bedrooms on the second floor to create a large principal bedroom or knocking through the kitchen wall to provide an open-pan kitchen / diner.
The West-facing rear garden is a particular highlight of the home stretching almost 100ft in length with a gravel seating area abutting the rear followed by a large area of lawn, perfect for children, pets or outdoor gatherings.
Additional features include off-road parking for two vehicles, plus a shared driveway leading to the garage (ideal for storage or further parking).
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and versatile family home in a desirable neighbourhood, combining period features with modern enhancements and offering scope for further personalisation.
