ACCOMMODATION
THE PROPERTY
Orchard Barn is an imposing and substantial detached house with brick and tile-hung elevations under a tiled
roof which we understand was built during the 1970’s located within the orchard of the grounds of Funtington
Lodge. The property has been owned by the same family since new and offers excellent nicely balanced and well
presented family accommodation and rooms of good proportions, arranged over two floors with a light and airy
ambience throughout.
On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall with woodblock flooring leads to a cloakroom/wet room, four
reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast room with bow window and glazed door overlooking and opening to a
paved terrace and the rear garden. The double aspect sitting room is especially bright and features a large curved
bay window with a southerly aspect, attractive wood flooring with herringbone pattern and a brick fireplace with
woodburner. The separate dining room is also well proportioned, of dual aspect, with further woodblock flooring
and a stone fireplace. There is also a study with range of cupboards and bookshelves and a family room with
double doors opening to a good sized conservatory overlooking the rear garden. Completing the ground floor
accommodation is a useful utility room with ample storage accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room.
On the first floor, a large landing leads to a very spacious principal bedroom suite comprising south and west
facing bedroom and a dressing room leading to an en-suite with raised corner bath, shower and 2 wash hand
basins. There are 3 further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

FUNTINGTON & CHICHESTER
Orchard Barn occupies an excellent central village position which is just within England’s newest national park, the South Downs
National Park. Nearby is the Kingley Vale Nature Reserve, 160 hectares of chalk grassland and ancient Yew woodland with Bronze
Age and Roman earthworks, and wonderful elevated views over the surrounding countryside and across to the Isle of Wight.
Nearby West Stoke contains St Andrew’s Church, originally the second church of the parish of Bosham and mentioned in the
Domesday Book, and a village hall. About two miles to the east is the village of East Ashling with a pub/restaurant with
accommodation, together with a bus service connecting the village to Chichester. The next village located to the south east is West
Ashling and 4 miles to the south is the popular sailing village of Bosham. Funtington village has a village shop and an independent
restaurant, and pub/restaurant.
There is a plethora of walks in the area which include stunning springtime walks through the bluebell woods. Cycle paths include
the South Downs Way, a 100 mile path from Winchester to Eastbourne and the only national trail that can be ridden its entire
length. The route via the village of West Ashling provides access south to Bosham and sailing on Chichester Harbour. The Salterns
Way provides foot and bike access through the Manhood Peninsula via Apuldram and the marinas at Chichester, Birdham, and
onwards to the sandy Blue Flag beach at West Wittering.
COUNTRY & COASTAL PURSUITS
There is a wide variety of interests and sporting activities in the
area which include; golf at Bognor Regis, Chichester and
Goodwood Golf Clubs, horseracing at Goodwood and
Fontwell racecourses, polo at Cowdray Park, and sailing at
Chichester Harbour, off the coast and on the Solent. Much of
the surrounding countryside is designated an Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty and the many miles of bridle paths
in the South Downs and along the coast are ideal for walking
and riding. Other attractions in the area include: West Dean
Gardens, Fishbourne Roman Palace, Tangmere Military
Aviation Museum, the Weald and Downland Open Air
Museum, and the historic houses of Goodwood House,
Stansted Park and Petworth House.
GARDENS & GROUNDS
Orchard Barn is approached over a large gravel driveway
leading to the triple garage and a curved paved path running to
the front door. The extensive sweeping driveway provides
ample parking space for about a dozen vehicles or so. The
gardens are a particular feature of the property, the front garden
area being predominantly laid to lawn with beech hedges lining
the front boundary. Adjacent to the rear of the house there is a
good sized paved terrace leading to the principal garden areas to
the rear and side with extensive lawns, mature trees and
shrubbery, an orchard with apple, plum and greengage trees, a
vegetable plot, chicken coop, glasshouse, stable with tack room
and a tennis court. In all, set in about 1.4 acres.
DIRECTIONS
From Chichester’s Northgate roundabout at the end of North
Street take St Paul’s Road (A286) then Old Broyle Road (B2178)
northwest for about 3 miles to East Ashling. Drive past ‘The
Horse and Groom’ public house and after a short distance, at
the bend on the road, bear left and after about half a mile
