St. Pancras, Chichester, West Sussex, PO19

DESCRIPTION: 55 St Pancras is a charming and beautifully presented 2 bedroom end of terrace cottage believed to date from the late 1800s. It is understood to have been refurbished about 3 years ago and currently offers very well appointed accommodation with a cosy, yet surprising bright atmosphere, arranged over two floors. On the ground floor, there is a double aspect sitting/dining room with decorative fireplace and understairs storage, and a stylish fitted kitchen with a number of integrated appliances and a window overlooking the pretty rear garden. Doors lead out from the ground floor directly onto St Pancras from the sitting area, and to an outside covered area and the rear garden from the kitchen. On the first floor, there are 2 bedrooms, the principal bedroom featuring a good range of built-in wardrobes/storage, and a modern family bathroom/wc with white suite. The property also benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, including further acoustic glazing to the sitting area and main bedroom, and a boarded loft space with carpeting, electric light, shelving and fitted ladder for access. Outside, there is a delightful 'low-maintenance' rear garden being nicely enclosed with timber fencing, with paved terrace and timber cabin, timber decking, flower/shrub beds, an outside power point and an outside tap. Personal gates lead from the garden onto Adelaide Road to the side, and to a concrete hardstanding to the rear which provides private off-street parking. LOCATION: The property is situated along a popular and predominantly residential road comprising many character buildings and is positioned on the corner of St Pancras and Adelaide Road only about 0.3 of a mile to the east of Chichester city centre and the bustling mainly pedestrianised shopping precinct. It is also conveniently located for nearby recreation areas, including Priory Park, bus services, and for access to the A27, which links with the A3(M) to the west providing a route north to the M25. Chichester train station, just outside the city centre and only about 0.8 of a mile from the property, provides services along the coast to Portsmouth and Brighton, and to London Victoria. The cathedral city of Chichester offers excellent high-street shopping, many fashionable restaurants, cafes, bars, a leisure centre with swimming pool, sports clubs, cinemas, and is home to the Pallant House Gallery and the renowned Festival Theatre. Located close to Chichester is the Goodwood Estate, which is famous for its many sporting event days including the much-celebrated Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival for motor racing enthusiasts, and a season of horse racing including the Glorious Goodwood Festival. The South Downs National Park is within easy reach being only about 2.5 miles to the north, and Chichester Harbour, along with Chichester Marina and Birdham Pool, are located just to the south, the harbour being home to several popular sailing clubs. Also, to the south, about 8.5 miles, is the Blue Flag sandy beach at West Wittering and the National Trust's East Head sand dune spit at the stunning entrance to Chichester Harbour.
