Oak House is a fine, detached property standing within lovely and beautifully planted gardens, in a leafy lane, just to the North of Chichester.

Three further bedrooms occupy the second floor, each with their own bath or shower room. An additional room provides excellent storage space. Outside, the property is approached via electrically operated gates leading to a paved area suitable for parking several cars and a triple garage (currently divided into two bays and a storage area) with first floor storage area. To the rear, the charming gardens include a broad sun terrace, with a pretty silver birch as its focal point, which leads to a sweeping lawn bordered by a wonderful variety of mature shrubs and trees. Chichester offers a great variety of good local schools, shopping facilities, galleries, restaurants coffee shops and a railway station, in addition to the renowned Festival Theatre, the historic Cathedral and Pallant House Gallery.
