This much-loved family home has a magnificent staircase and oriel window. The cellar dates back to the reign of James the 1st, but the bedrooms are classically furnished to match its Georgian heritage. Comforts are assured, with excellent beds, wifi throughout, and quality toiletries provided as standard. Accommodation is ultimately flexible and groups can be easily catered for, with an adjacent coach house set up for musical practice and performance.
Guests here aren't limited to their bedrooms. The drawing room, with its grand piano, is an elegant space to relax, with an open fire to blaze away the chill of cooler months. There are books, games and jigsaws to entertain every taste. And even though you're in the heart of the city French windows lead down stone steps to a delightful walled garden, with mature trees, flower beds and extensive lawns.
Your hosts here are Philip and Claire Wake. They enjoy hosting groups of guests for the Chichester Chamber Concerts, Festival Theatre, and families/friends. Claire is renowned for producing wholesome meals for groups and on a voluntary basis teaches music in a Junior school. Philip has retired from the maritime industry, manages a Suzuki music course, and has voluntary roles at Solent University, the RNLI and Royal Alfred Seafarers’ Society. He enjoys shooting, rowing and sailing. To ensure guests’ needs are fully catered for, a prior discussion of plans is desirable.
North Walls House is within Chichester's city walls but has plenty of off-road parking. Guests can stroll from here to the Cathedral, Pallant Gallery, Festival Theatre and all the city's shops and restaurants, just a few minutes' walk away. Within a few miles you'll find the Goodwood Estate, the South Downs National Park, Chichester Harbour and the countless sandy beaches of the south coast.
