Further Information

Chichester is an ancient city. The Romans built an amphitheatre here in the first century AD and the Saxons took control in the late 5th century. The city has some of the oldest churches and buildings in England and within the ancient street plan, mostly traffic free, there are Georgian houses, specialist retailers, small shops and high street stores. Chichester is well known for its annual theatre season held in the Festival Theatre. Rich in history and with the natural beauty of the South Downs, the city offers a lively culture and a convenient location.

Situation

The Maltings is quietly situated in Henty Gardens off Westgate a short walk to West Street and the cathedral in the centre of Chichester.

Town

Chichester lies in a plain at the foot of a spur of the South Downs and about a mile from Chichester Harbour. Once the capital of the South Saxons in the far west of the county, Chichester is now a fine cathedral city. The medieval town was built over the Roman city and largely inside the defensive walls, parts of which still survive. The walls enclose the four main roads which meet at the centre at the market cross, a fine perpendicular monument built by Bishop Story in the late 14th century.

Facilities include a resident manager, two attractive guest suites, a residents' lounge and library, landscaped gardens, laundry, lift and in each apartment and cottage an alarm system. Parking is available but limited and subject to rental on a separate lease. There is a private pedestrian access to the shops.

Communications

Chichester is close to the south coast almost equidistant between Southampton and Brighton which are both about 30 miles away. Bognor Regis is about six miles and the Witterings seven miles. Southbourne is about five miles. The main A27 runs immediately to the south of the city connecting with the M27 at Cosham about 15 miles to the west. Fast trains to London (Victoria) take about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Directions

From the A27 Portsmouth as you come into Chichester at the first roundabout turn left passing Tescos on your left and at the next small roundabout turn left into Westgate. Continue along this road for about half a mile and Henty Gardens will be seen on your left hand side. The Maltings is off to your right.
