MAYBURY HOUSE Situated on a quiet tree-lined avenue, just minutes from the city centre of Chichester, is Maybury House, an exceptionally stylish five-bedroom detached family home. The property was originally built in the 1960s, however the house that stands today is the result of a major renovation and complete remodelling, which was carried out in 2009.

Seller Insight We’ve had the good fortune of owning the property since 2015,” say the owners. “Having previously lived in America, finding a house like this in the UK was very intriguing. At first glance it looks very much like a house you would typically find in New England, however once inside a real surprise awaits. It’s a dramatic house in terms of its architecture, and we were initially drawn to the vast openplan design of the ground floor, as we wanted a house we could share and enjoy with friends and family. The fact that it sits in close proximity to the town centre – a mere twenty-minute walk – was also very appealing.” “The house was beautifully redesigned by previous owners, and in our opinion it is one of a kind. It has the ability to allow for space, yet it easily complies with the need for intimacy and cosiness when required, and it’s a real lifestyle house. We wanted to find a place that would afford us the chance to live openly, freely and without the confines of a typically structured house. It has been a home in which we have amassed many fond memories of very happy times spent with our loved ones. We’ve had large family gatherings, intimate dinners and lavish Christmas parties. It’s also seen us through tragic loss, much love and the miraculous birth of our little boy. We’ve always said that a home isn’t merely bricks and mortar, it laughs with you, cries with you, sings, sways and loves with you. We’ve loved living here as a couple and now as a family, and as our family has grown the house has always worked perfectly.” “Since owning the property we’ve had extensive work done to the gardens, both front and rear, and the rear garden in particular has become an integral part of our home. We wanted to create a tranquil oasis so we enlisted the help of a fabulous team of landscape architects who designed the most serenely calm space, which envelops the house. The house and the gardens now marry together beautifully and we’ve cherished having such a beautiful and very peaceful space to enjoy.” “The huge open-plan kitchen, dining and living space is very much the heart of the home. Each area cleverly integrates with another, bringing about a real sense of unity. It’s a large area, but one you never feel lost in, quite the opposite in fact. Whether sharing it with a throng of people or enjoying it alone, it has a very homely feel. In the evening it has a very cosy atmosphere, and the design enables you to create a sumptuous snug to curl up in, and also a really great place for a party!” “Chichester has it all: city life and beautiful surroundings. Never did we think we would find a location that offers the best of both worlds. There’s culture, history, the arts, delightful recreational spaces, a bustling town centre with great shopping and a plethora of restaurants and bars, all at our fingertips. Train links to London and Brighton are fantastic, and The Avenue is situated just on the edge of the city limits, and a few hundred metres from the South Downs National Park which is every nature lovers dream.” Also we have Goodwood on our doorstep which is tremendous fun; the motor racing,revival, the golf, restaurant and hotel are exceedingly good and a must for anyone who lives so close by. “We consider the spa room to be the most indulgent of rooms. A room you can enjoy all year round, whatever the weather. It is opulence at its best! Evenings unwinding with a glass of wine or two in the spa are sublime, and the fact that it’s situated at the rear of the house, looking out onto the garden only adds to the overall experience – you can lose track of where you are at times.” “Our reasons for leaving this amazing house behind are purely geographical, and the need to be closer to family. If we could uproot it, the gardens and the very thing that makes this home so special, we would surely do so,” say the owners. “Sadly we can’t and so it’s with very heavy hearts that we must bid farewell to our beautiful home. For us it’s been the perfect house in the perfect location, and we hope that the people lucky enough to own it next love it as we have and enjoy making beautiful memories to cherish and call their own.”*
