Believed to date to the early 17th century, East Tithe Barn offers features of the original agricultural structure now combined with interior styling ideally suited to modern lifestyles. Rustic timbers and painted beams co-exist, with vaulted ceilings offering light, airy rooms and glimpses of the floors above, with a generous kitchen and living area on the ground floor providing an open ambience and a relaxed, sociable setting. Fitted with contemporary, white cabinetry, topped with stone work surfaces, the kitchen features a shiny black Aga stove and decorative white tiling, with an adjoining dining zone and cosy sitting area centred around a corner wood-burning stove. French doors and a kitchen door offer links to the garden.

There are three bedrooms on the lower level, with the principal room having fitted wardrobe storage and the benefit of smart en suite facilities with walk-in shower. A family bathroom also occupies the ground floor setting, whilst a stairway rises to a roomy mezzanine level where a skylight window allows natural light to flood inside. There is access up to a further bedroom, which in turn has steps leading to an upper level with storage and a well-appointed bathroom. Supplemental accommodation is provided by an enchanting, self-contained, attached, one bedroom dwelling with opportunities for use as staff or dependent relative accommodation, or perhaps an additional income stream.

In a secluded, tranquil setting, the property enjoys the advantage of a delightful cottage garden with beds containing floral and scented planting and specimen and mature trees which create dappled shade on a sunny day. There is an elevated paved terrace adjoining the property offering opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation whilst enjoying the south-easterly aspect and steps lead down to gravelled pathway alongside the lawn, which provides a route to the annexe abode. A garage facility is attached to the annexe and a private lane provides an approach to the property and to off-street parking.

The property is situated in the charming village of Oving, to the east of Chichester, and offers a parish church, village hall and a popular public house. The Cathedral City is easily accessible and provides a range of shopping, leisure and cultural amenities, including the renowned Festival Theatre and Pallant House Gallery. Sailing may be enjoyed from centres around Chichester Harbour and bathing and windsurfing from the south coast beaches. Leisure opportunities include golf at Goodwood and Avisford Park; horse racing at Fontwell and Goodwood, with the latter also offering motor-racing events. Communication links are excellent with easy access to the A27 and rail services from Chichester or Barnham. Well-regarded schooling includes The Prebendal School, Westbourne School, Great Ballards and Portsmouth Grammar School.
