Drayton Lane, Drayton, Chichester, West Sussex, PO20 2BN

A rare opportunity to acquire the site of a detached residential dwelling and a former nursery, set within approx. 1.7 acres on the outskirts of this historic cathedral city.

About the property Located in semi-rural surroundings just outside the city of Chichester, Sherwood House and former Nursery offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a versatile site for various uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The property spans approximately 1.7 acres and consists of two components: a detached residential dwelling with an expansive west-facing garden and a former nursery situated behind.

Of note, in 2011 the agricultural tie on the property was removed. In recent years, Sherwood House has been leased but is now offered with vacant possession.

The accommodation is arranged on a single level, featuring a spacious double reception room with an adjoining dining area, a smart kitchen/breakfast room, three bedrooms (including one en suite), a bathroom, a utility room, and a generously sized entrance hall.

A highlight of the property is the large south-facing garden, primarily laid to lawn with various shrubs and plants within the borders.

Access to the entire property is via a tarmac driveway off the west side of Drayton Lane, providing ample off-street parking.

Currently, the glasshouse on-site, which is in a state of significant disrepair, is set within secluded grounds, bordered by woodland on both the western and southern boundaries.

This site presents a superb opportunity for various uses, or it could be incorporated into the main dwelling to create a residence with extensive grounds.
