5 bedroom house

Beautifully presented detached family home less than two miles south of Chichester, with a self-contained annexe, triple car port, workshop and half acre garden. The house has been renovated and improved over recent years.

The main house has well-balanced family accommodation with five (including annexe) good double bedrooms, two of which have large and stylish en-suite bathrooms with a family shower room on the first floor. On the ground floor is a particularly nice drawing room with recently sandblasted oak beams and flooring, wood burning stove, having formerly been the village forge. There is a separate dining room and snug/family room and well-appointed and stylish kitchen.

Outside there is plenty of casual parking plus a triple car port and self-contained annexe, perfect Airbnb providing additional income, and a lovely half acre garden with ornamental pond.

The location of Forge House has many attractions, being within easy reach of Chichester, close to the footpaths and cycle paths along the banks of the canal and within a few miles of Chichester Marina and the sandy beaches of West Wittering, approximately 5 miles to the south. The waters of Chichester Harbour and The Solent provide some of the best sailing facilities within convenient travelling distance of London. In addition to the Marina, there are further sailing clubs at Bosham and Itchenor.

Donnington village itself has a local pub and church. Chichester city centre is barely two miles to the north, which has a wide range of pedestrianised facilities including numerous bars and restaurants, Pallant House Gallery and the internationally known Festival Theatre. To the north, the rich countryside of the South Downs National Park is home to many pretty country pubs and numerous footpaths and bridle paths provide access for horse riding, mountain biking and walking. The Goodwood Estate, famous for Glorious Goodwood and the Festival of Speed will be found about 5 miles to the north.
