Immobile In Vendita In Itchenor, Chichester, West Sussex

Set within an elevated position, with the main elevations facing south-west, Droveway is a much loved family home ideally situated in the heart of the village. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and provides a generous and flexible layout, well suited to both family living and entertaining.
On the ground floor, the house is entered via a reception hall, which gives access to the principal reception rooms. The sitting room is a particularly well-proportioned space, featuring a fireplace and enjoying a pleasant outlook. To the opposite side of the hall is a substantial kitchen/family room, offering ample space for informal dining and day-to-day family use. This links through to a butler’s pantry/utility room, with an adjoining shower room, ideal after returning from the harbour.
Beyond a further hallway, the accommodation continues into a superb dining room and adjoining sitting room, creating excellent entertaining space. Also on the ground floor is a large west facing double bedroom with an adjacent shower room, offering useful flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or use as an additional reception room if preferred.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom is a generous room offering lovely rural views and a well-appointed en suite bathroom. There is a further large double bedroom on this side of the house, served by a family bath/shower room. On the landing there is access to a useful airing cupboard.
A second first floor area provides additional bedroom accommodation, comprising three further bedrooms together with a sizeable landing/playroom, which could serve as a children’s sitting area, study space, or occasional overflow accommodation.
The garden and grounds are a particularly special feature of Droveway, extending to approx. 1.76 acres and providing a wonderful sense of space, privacy and seclusion. The property is approached via an impressive long private driveway, a notably rare feature within Itchenor. This generous approach also provides ample parking and useful space for boat storage, highly appropriate for a property so close to Chichester Harbour.
The gardens have been beautifully landscaped and are arranged to take full advantage of the property’s quiet rural setting. Broad expanses of lawn surround the house, interspersed with mature trees, established hedging and well-stocked borders, creating both colour and structure throughout the seasons. The grounds enjoy lovely westerly open views over the surrounding countryside, giving the house a peaceful rural atmosphere while remaining within a short stroll from the heart of the village and sailing club. Immediately around the house are attractive areas for outdoor seating and entertaining, including paved terraces that provide space for al fresco dining. The gardens are mature and private, with carefully planted boundaries helping to screen the property and enhance the feeling of tranquillity. To the rear there is useful vegetable patch/kitchen garden.
The outbuildings provide excellent ancillary space and are a significant asset to the property. There is a double garage, together with a car port, providing covered parking and storage. In addition, the property benefits from a workshop, a substantial wood store and two further garden stores.
Overall, the grounds at Droveway are both beautiful and highly functional, combining mature landscaped gardens, extensive parking, useful outbuildings and a rare sweeping approach. The result is an exceptionally private and peaceful setting, all within one of the most desirable harbourside villages in West Sussex.
