3 Bed Detached House, Meadow Close, PO18

Rare opportunity to rent a gorgeous home in the heart of a sought-after Down-land village

This beautifully-presented, unfurnished home is centrally located within the vibrant village of Lavant. Meadow Close is a private cul-de-sac at the very heart of the village. The prestigious development was completed in 2010 by Oakford homes, and features a very select number of individually designed properties.

Lavant village boasts not one, but two, beautiful historic churches, with large, welcoming congregations. The village primary school is hugely popular, and has been rated Ofsted ‘good’, with outstanding elements. There is also a community hall, village green and cricket ground, where many quintessentially English village activities take place throughout the year. The property is a very short walk to the renowned Earl of March pub and restaurant, which offers the ultimate locals’ experience at its busy bar, as well as fine dining and outdoor seating. Just a few minutes further away on foot, The Royal Oak also offers a high-end dining experience, showcasing the finest local ingredients in a lovely setting. 

Meadow Close benefits from direct pedestrian access to the Centurion Way footpath and cycleway; allowing you to walk, or cycle, through idyllic countryside for 5.5 miles. In one direction, it links you with cycle ways to the lively Chichester Marina, where you will find abundant water-based activities, the relaxed yacht club and bustling drinking and dining. In the other direction, you can access the beautiful neighbouring village of West Dean – where you will find famous horticultural gardens, Edward James’ heritage house, a charming tea shop and another excellent village pub.

Although Lavant boasts the finest village credentials, and falls within the National Park, it is still only a few minutes drive into the historic, beautiful Chichester city centre. There you will find restaurants and pubs galore, every kind of shopping experience, and historic features such as the city walls walk, cathedral and Priory Park. 

The property is presented to an excellent standard throughout. The attention to detail in both the original design, and the current owners' improvements, create a luxurious and decadent feel.

The property is arranged over two floors. The ground floor has been cleverly extended and developed to provide a huge amount of accommodation, storage, and the ultimate entertaining space. The very large lounge diner area is flooded with light from an attractive atrium roof, and bi-fold doors connect you to the immaculate, secluded, low-maintenance, south-facing courtyard garden. There is a feature fireplace, allowing you to create the perfect cosy atmosphere.

Adjoining this very large, open plan space, there is an additional separate snug lounge, which is also ideal as a playroom or home office. There is a further boot room/utility to the rear with space for a condensing tumble drier, making this property ideal for anyone with an enthusiasm for outdoor pursuits or a family that needs to store equipment for popular local hobbies such as sailing, surfing or kite boarding.

There is a fitted kitchen to the front of the property, featuring excellent quality units and appliances. The property is offered with an integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, gas hob, electric oven, microwave and an integrated washing machine.

There is a smart, spacious ground floor W/C. Two large ground floor closets give plenty of hidden storage which promotes a clear, clean feel in the living space.

The first floor has three bedrooms. There is a very spacious master suite, featuring en-suite bathroom and fitted storage.

There is a further double bedroom, also with fitted storage, as well as a smaller third bedroom, currently in use as a nursery. There is a family bathroom, and a light, open landing space. The property benefits from a very large loft space.

There are gorgeous features throughout; bespoke shutters, solid oak woodwork, high-end floor finishes and neutral decoration all add to a very decadent feel.

The outdoor space has been beautifully planted and hard-landscaped front and back to create a super low-maintenance extension of the indoor space. There is tarmacked driveway parking for two vehicles.

There is a mains-wired fire alert system and carbon monoxide detection which is inspected and certificated regularly to make sure tenants are as safe as possible in their home.

The tenancy will run from August 30th 2023, and will be a Standard Assured Shorthold Tenancy. Deposits are held in a government security scheme (DPS). We have the very highest standards for health and safety in our properties, and are extremely responsive to maintenance and repair issues. We are committed to providing the highest quality accommodation within the private rental sector.

Please note that our properties are not offered on a first-come-first-served basis. We will always conduct a number of viewings over a period of a few days and then will choose the best candidate to progress their application. This decision will be based on the interests of our landlord clients, and any express preferences that they have indicated.
