Gardens



This small select estate of only five other properties is approached via electric wooden gates with a gravel driveway to the barn itself. Courtyard Barn is accessed via a further set of double gates which open to a substantial area for private off street parking, along with access to an attached two-bay oak framed carport.



The stunning central courtyard is a particular feature. Beautifully landscaped with a central water feature, box hedging and many flowering shrubs and plants, this south-facing courtyard is ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. To the side is an attractive greenhouse. Accessed from the courtyard via an attractive gate, there is a substantial area laid to lawn with attractive views across adjoining paddocks. To the rear of the barn there is further outdoor space including a garden store.

The cathedral city of Chichester provides a comprehensive range of shopping amenities arranged partly within its pedestrianised centre. The arts are well represented with Chichester being home to the internationally renowned Festival Theatre and award winning Pallant House Gallery.



There are a number of well known sailing clubs most notably at Bosham and Itchenor together with Chichester Marina at Birdham. There is a mainline station at Chichester providing a regular service to London Victoria and Gatwick. The A3 provides good access to London and via the M25 to Heathrow.
