6 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Chichester

Ox Barn comprises a substantial agricultural barn and a collection of smaller outbuildings arranged around a courtyard, enjoying an attractive rural position on the West Dean Estate at Binderton. The approved scheme offers the opportunity to transform these buildings into a distinctive home, combining their agricultural character with spacious contemporary accommodation.
The proposed main house extends to approximately 4,144 sq ft over two floors. At its heart is an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and informal living space, opening onto a courtyard-facing patio. This sociable arrangement is complemented by a separate formal sitting room and a generous study, provilliding flexibility for family life, entertaining and working from home. A spacious entrance hall, utility room and cloakroom complete the principal living accommodation.
Two ground-floor bedrooms will benefit from en suite shower rooms, with the larger also incorporating a dressing room. Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite includes a dressing area, a substantial bathroom and access to a terrace overlooking the courtyard. Two further bedrooms share a family bathroom, creating five bedrooms within the main house.
Across the courtyard, the proposed annexe provides approximately 893 sq ft, with an open-plan kitchen and living area, a bedroom with en suite facilities and an adjoining garden, refuse and bicycle store. Its separation from the main house would be particularly appealing for visiting family or guests.
The design combines timber-clad elevations, flint walls and generous glazing, retaining a strong sense of the buildings’ origins. The enclosed courtyard would form a sheltered focal point for outdoor dining and relaxation, while the wider grounds provide space for gardens and landscaping. The property will benefit from a long approach drive and a parking area for a number of vehicles.
Location
The property is situated in the small hamlet of Binderton, within the beautiful countryside of the South Downs National Park, to the north of Chichester. Set in the Lavant Valley, the area offers an attractive rural setting with convenient access to the city and the neighbouring villages of West Dean and Lavant.
The property will benefit from access to Centurion Way, a scenic walking and cycling route following the former railway line, providing a convenient way to explore the countryside and reach Chichester, Lavant and West Dean on foot or by bicycle.
The surrounding downland provides further opportunities for walking and exploring, with Kingley Vale, the Trundle and the South Downs Way within easy reach. Nearby West Dean Gardens offers beautifully landscaped grounds, while the wider area is renowned for its picturesque villages and country pubs.
