A charming end of terrace cottage, in a highly sought, quiet residential road, within close proximity of Chichester city centre, that has been the subject of a partial renovation.
About the property
Situated on Cambrai Avenue, this end-of-terrace Victorian home offers an appealing opportunity for those seeking a character property they can further enhance. Recently decorated in preparation for sale, the house has benefited from a light programme of works, yet still presents clear scope for future improvement, allowing a new owner to make it their own.
A traditional covered entrance porch leads into the hallway, from which the ground-floor accommodation unfolds. The sitting room is of generous proportions, featuring good natural light and ample space for comfortable seating and dining arrangements. To the rear lies the kitchen – fully functional and practical in layout, though now somewhat dated – with a door opening directly onto the garden.
On the first floor are two well-sized bedrooms, each offering pleasant proportions typical of the period. The shower room is notably spacious and has been refitted with a contemporary suite, providing a fresh and modern contrast to other elements of the property.
Outside
The garden is a particular asset, especially given the central location. Larger than commonly found in similar Victorian terraces, it is predominantly paved and would benefit from landscaping, but provides an excellent foundation for creating an attractive outdoor space.
Overall, this is a home with charm, potential, and a highly convenient setting, ideal for buyers looking to personalise a property while retaining the character of a traditional Victorian house.
