Well-appointed detached house close to city centre

This attractive detached house of character is tucked away in this no-through road within easy reach of Chichester city centre.

Maplewood, in Lake Road, was built 13 years ago and the well-appointed interior has attractive hardwood floors throughout the ground floor.

The sitting room has double doors on to the sheltered garden and an attractive focal point is created by a coal effect gas fire with mantelpiece and hearth.

The kitchen/dining room is fitted with an excellent range of units with hardwood worksurfaces, marble tiled surrounds and a good range of integrated appliances including dishwasher, ceramic hob with stainless steel cooker hood above, eye-level double oven and microwave oven.

The dining area has attractive tongue and groove panelling and sealed unit double glazed doors opening directly on to the garden.

A separate utility room keeps the white goods away from the main living areas.

The generous light landing leads to three bedrooms including a principal suite with shower room and a well-appointed family bathroom serving the additional two bedrooms.

A private parking area lies to the east of the house leading to a detached garage providing further secure parking.

The sheltered garden has a terrace approached via doors from both the kitchen/dining room and sitting room together with a raised, decked sitting area and raised borders planted with bamboo and evergreen shrubs.

Chichester city centre provides an extensive range of shopping facilities, arranged mainly within a pedestrianised centre with both national brands and long established shops.

There is a wide choice of social and recreational activities including the Westgate Sports Centre and Chichester Tennis and Squash Club. Further cultural attractions include the renowned Chichester Festival Theatre, the Minerva Theatre and Pallant House Gallery.
