Maybush Drive Chidham, Chichester £495,000

Set in this highly requested location south of the A259 in Chidham, Treagust & Co is delighted to present this spacious chalet-style home with ample driveway parking, a garage, and a south-facing garden.

Offering a generous 1174 sq.ft of accommodation, this appealing home has the added advantage of adjoining the protected Maybush Copse to the south, a haven for wildlife where an abundance of birds can be seen and enjoyed.

From the driveway, a glazed front door opens into the welcoming L-shaped entrance hall with staircase to the first floor and recently ungraded ground floor shower room. The wonderfully spacious open-plan sitting/dining room provides ample space to relax, dine and entertain, complimented by a pleasant outlook over the private south facing garden. A brick faced chimney breast houses a coal effect gas fire. Also with a southerly garden outlook is the kitchen with its good range of oak fronted units, built-in appliances to include a hob, extractor, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, along with space and plumbing for a washing machine. A side door opens to the driveway. A dual aspect double bedroom with fitted furniture completes the ground floor layout.

Upstairs the landing has a Velux roof window and a large airing cupboard, and provides access to the bathroom and also a great sized bedroom with a lovely outlook over the garden and beyond to the protected woodland.

Maybush Copse is an 8 acre site purchased in 2009 by the Chichester Harbour Trust, with support from the Chichester Harbour Conservancy, the Parish Councils of Southbourne and Chidham & Hambrook, and donations from over 180 local residents.

Additional highlights include a garden shed at the end of the garage, a water feature, and further paved space at the rear of the garden.
