Location

Coachman's House is particularly well situated in this sought after road in the heart of the City Centre which is an easily accessible mainly level pedestrian area. The position is ideal, within a short walk to the excellent shopping facilities, the bus and railway stations. The beautiful cathedral City of Chichester has a fascinating history and considerable connections with the Roman Empire as seen by the archaeological remains of the city walls. Trade and prosperity flourished particularly during the early 1800's with the construction of the imposing Corn Exchange in East Street and the beautifully preserved streets of the City. There is a wide choice of social and recreational activities including a multi-screen cinema, sports centres with swimming pools, and a fine selection of restaurants, wine bars and bistros. In addition, for those in pursuit of cultural activities, there is the award winning Pallant House Gallery (located just around the corner) and the internationally renowned Festival Theatre.
