Situated near Woodgate Crossing in the sought-after Parish of Aldingbourne, and just to the south of the popular village of Westergate, 1 Orchard Cottages is an extended 3/4 bedroom semi-detached house with 2/3 reception rooms and a large bathroom with separate shower. Much improved by the present owners, it has been a loved family home for about 15 years, and currently offers well-presented and balanced accommodation. The property also benefits from gas fired central heating and UPVC double glazing. Outside, there is pedestrian access off Westergate Street to a pleasant front garden and there is gated access from behind the property to a good sized enclosed westerly aspect rear garden with hardstanding providing private parking, a small timber office/studio and timber summerhouse. The vendors also advise that there is informal parking on a large Council owned forecourt adjacent to the rear garden and accessed via St John's Close off Hook Lane. NO FORWARD CHAIN.

The property is located within easy reach of local convenience stores, The Prince of Wales public house, Aldingbourne Primary School, and is only about 1 mile from Ormiston Six Villages Academy Secondary School. There is a mainline train station at Barnham village some 2 miles away with a good range of local shops, and there is a regular bus service to Bognor Regis town, being approximately 3 miles to the south, and to the Cathedral City of Chichester, being about 5 miles to the west.
