THE PROPERTY A beautifully presented character cottage, overlooking open farmland to the side and rear and offered to the market after undergoing a robust schedule of remodelling and renovating by the current vendors.
The spacious accommodation is arranged over three floors with the ground floor consisting of a welcoming entrance porch, hallway, ground floor bedroom, shower room, sitting room, cloakroom, utility room and a stunning open plan vaulted kitchen/dining room.
Occupying the first floor are three further bedrooms, the master serviced by an en-suite, and the two remaining bedrooms serviced by the family bathroom which is also located on this floor. Of note is the sizeable loft space which lends itself to a multitude of uses.
Externally, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with an area of patio and a path leading to the farmland to the rear and the side. There are also two outbuildings, both are supplied with power and light. To the front is an area of hardstanding and gravel which offers parking for three cars comfortably.
THE LOCATION This historic Sussex village lies some 8.5 miles to the southeast of city of Chichester and some 3 miles to the west of Arundel, close to the West Sussex coast. Communications are good with the nearby A27 providing convenient vehicle access to many provincial centres including Portsmouth, Worthing and Brighton. Nearby Barnham station is under 1.5 miles away and provides a regular rail service to London Victoria.
Yapton itself offers a selection of local shops, a parish church and public house. Both Arundel and Chichester provide a more comprehensive range of facilities, the latter being arranged within a partly pedestrianised centre. The surrounding area provides many recreational and sporting activities, including a number of golf courses, one of which being at Goodwood. Glorious Goodwood is about 8.5 miles to the north and whilst best known for its horse racing, also provides a private airfield, country club and is becoming increasingly well known for the Revival of its historic motor circuit and the annual Festival of Speed.
Chichester and Littlehampton harbours are particularly popular with sailors, and the beaches of West Wittering and Climping provide opportunities for bathing, windsurfing and kite surfing. The recently created South Downs National Park is criss-crossed with many bridle paths and footpaths for walkers, mountain bikers and riders.
