Semi-detached house for sale in Ford Road, Ford BN18

Estate agents often talk about “rare” opportunities, but this three/four bedroom former coach house is a genuine chance to own a truly unique building in a semi-rural location overlooking fields.

A conversion from a former coach store and hay loft, believed to date back to 1863, the property has an interesting and unique layout which offers further scope for extension, along with a garage and a double carport to the side. Railway enthusiasts and commuters who use public transport will be equally delighted, as the Ford railway station is located close by, with mainline services to Brighton, Chichester, Portsmouth and London Victoria. Ford Road links closely with the A27 to the north, making it a desirable home for commuters, whilst set in a semi-rural location.

The accommodation comprises entrance hall with cloakroom/WC, sitting room, kitchen/dining room, utility and snug. There are three/four bedrooms with the ground floor principal bedroom having an en-suite shower room. There is also a bathroom/shower room on the first floor.

Outside, there is a good size rear garden and garage.

EPC Rating: D

Location

The visitor to Ford who only seeks the Saturday Car Boots Sales and the Sunday Market that are held on the former military airfield will miss its more historical features.

At the heart of the village stands the church of St Andrew-by-the-Ford with its Saxon origins and medieval drawings. The church in recent years has been carefully restored and is open to visitors. A Memorial Garden now stands on the west of the airfield to commemorate those who flew from the airfield during its 80 year old history.

The river Arun is just across the field and provides a walking route to historic Arundel. Charming, stylish and full of history, the picturesque market town is probably most famous for two stunning landmarks - Arundel Castle and Arundel Cathedral. A walk along the river from Ford House will lead you to the Black Rabbit public house.
