Market Avenue, Chichester, PO19 1JU

A charming four-bedroom semi-detached period house, enviably positioned in the heart of Chichester, enjoying the rare combination of a superb central location, gated off-road parking and a truly special rear garden backing directly onto the historic city walls, with the River Lavant flowing through. The property offers generous and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, combining period character with modern-day living. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, cloakroom and a modern, particularly spacious kitchen, featuring attractive wooden worktops and a breakfast bar that opens through to the sitting room, creating a sociable and well-connected space for everyday living and entertaining. The sitting room flows through to the dining area, forming an impressive open-plan living space with a dual aspect that creates a wonderful sense of light and space, together with doors opening directly onto the rear garden. The first floor provides two generous double bedrooms, a family bathroom and an en-suite shower room to one of the bedrooms. The second floor offers two further bedrooms and an additional bathroom, making the layout ideal for family living, visiting guests or those requiring flexible space to work from home.

Outside, the rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property's most distinctive features. The River Lavant meanders through the garden, while the historic city walls provide a wonderful and picturesque backdrop. Predominantly laid to lawn, the garden also features decking and several seating areas, allowing you to follow the sun throughout the day or find a quieter, shaded spot to relax. The garden's unusual shape follows the course of the river, with railings enclosing the riverbanks for added safety and a bridge crossing the water to connect the different areas of the garden. It is a wonderfully individual setting that feels a world away from the bustle of the city, despite being right in the centre of Chichester. There is a gated, gravelled off-road parking area shared with number 7 Market Road, providing space for at least one vehicle and additional visitor parking.

Combining period charm, spacious and flexible accommodation, gated parking and an exceptional riverside garden, this is a truly distinctive home in a highly sought-after central location.
