“A big WELCOME and enjoy”

The cathedral city of Chichester has a long history as a Roman settlement, with the original city walls over two metres thick, later replaced by a Georgian wall. The city is best known for its fabulous 12th-century cathedral, which occupies a central setting at the heart of the city and not only provides a place for worship but also an events space, community hub and venue for the arts and music. Other historical sites include the Butter Market, built in 1808, and the ornate Chichester Cross, dating back to 1501.

There is a diverse mix of property in Chichester, ranging from grand period properties around the North, East, South and West Pallant within the city’s ancient walls, to modern properties including contemporary houses and apartments on new developments. The city centre housing is deceptively quiet and close to the best shops and restaurants. The Summersdale area, about a mile north of the centre, is also a popular area with handsome double-fronted Victorian houses. The popular Canal Basin area has stunning apartments with views of the water.
