Detached house for sale in Rochester Close, Chichester PO19

8 Rochester Close has been owned by the same family since it’s birth in approx. 1968. It is evident from the moment you walk in, this house has been loved and enjoyed for many years and endless memories have undoubtedly been made here. Understandably the décor is somewhat dated, offering any savvy house hunter the opportunity to take this property and transform it into a 21st century Rochester Close master piece.

The approach is delightful, with extensive grass frontage and simple symmetrical architecture, step through the front door into the generous hallway, which provides a welcome space for kicking off shoes and setting down shopping. The part glazed wall between the hallway and the sitting room makes both spaces bright and homely, the open plan sitting and dining room is warm and welcoming and the dual aspect views to the front and rear, gives an element of privacy without feeling isolated. The fireplace creates a focal point to gather around with a glass of wine on colder evenings. Nestled happily at the rear of the house is the kitchen, a room crying out to be replaced but with all the foundations of a simple upgrade, a side door for children and dogs to run in and out of and pretty views across the garden.

Intrigued to see more ... Make your way upstairs and you are greeted with three well proportioned bedrooms. All with built in storage and roof top views across the city. The black and primrose bathroom is somewhat of an interior statement but, like the kitchen, has all the groundings for an easy upgrade to more neutral tones in keeping with this interior trends.

The potential here is vast, subject to planning there is the opportunity to add space and value with a side and or rear extension, incorporate the kitchen into the dining room or convert the garage. Whatever your living requirements or budget is there is scope to make this a wonderful home.
