It's hard not to fall in love with this traditional Victorian townhouse. From the cosy wood-burning stove to the sumptuous rolltop bath, you'll find characterful touches everywhere you look – updated to fit 21st-century tastes, of course. The suntrap of a garden is a lovely little extra come summertime, while the top-floor main suite is the perfect spot to unwind after a day out and about in Chichester. Speaking of, the city centre is about ten minutes on foot, while the famous cathedral is reachable in fifteen. There is a flat on the basement level, but not to worry – the entire home, including the garden, is yours to enjoy.
