An exceptional chance to purchase an elegant Grade II listed Georgian family home in the heart of the Goodwood Estate, accompanied by a set of six fully converted rental cottages with great potential for revenue growth.
Full Description
The primary residence has undergone thorough renovations and updates, offering a comfortable and stylish four-bedroom layout.
The extensive and adaptable ground floor features a large, modern kitchen/family dining area with multi-fold doors leading to the garden, along with a spacious sitting room, study, media/games room, and several utility, boot, and storage rooms. Each bedroom is a generous double, and the bathrooms have been updated with contemporary fixtures.
Woodstock and its suites occupy a 0.4 acre plot with private access from North Lane.
Suites
The lettings cottages, named after renowned corners of the Goodwood motor circuit, comprise a charming courtyard of five brick and flint cottages, each featuring one or two bedrooms, en suite facilities and open plan living spaces, along with a fully equipped detached single-story property. In terms of occupancy, a long weekend in July can generate an income of just under £4,000, and the cottages currently hold a commendable 4.7 rating on Expedia. Additionally, rates for various Goodwood events, including the Festival of Speed and September Revival, command a significant premium.
