In fact they wouldn’t even have to cross the road to walk the few yards from Halnaker Cottage to the grounds of Goodwood House, which has become a modern day mecca for car enthusiasts in love with the very latest hardware or the classics that feature in the late summer Revival event.

Anne-Marie Green, of Fine and Country in Emsworth, said: “This is one of the most unusual opportunities Goodwood fans are every likely to get.

“On the one hand they have a chance to live on the doorstep of Goodwood and on the other they have a substantial five bedroom home dating back to the 17th century that is not listed, which should help smooth the path when applying for permission to renovate or alter the building.

“Even better, this property is within what’s regarded as the Golden Mile from Goodwood has a separate self-contained annexe in the garden, a summerhouse big enough to house a grand piano without impinging on the space, and a range of barns that might open opportunities for other income.

“If all that’s making you feel a little overheated, there’s a pool terrace in the delightful walled garden at the rear to take a cooling dip while weighing up the options!

“This property has long had an association with transport. It’s believed to have been a staging post inn on the London, Portsmouth, Southampton route and when Queen Elizabeth I visited the now-ruined Halnaker House the cottage was noted then as accommodation for the staff and stockman.

“As well as all the opportunities, the cottage, really a large house, has all the extras essential for country life including a local primary school, a popular pub, and a local shop in the adjacent and delightful village of Boxgrove.

“The Tinwood vineyard is just opposite the house, giving a very continental outlook, and there’s access for walking across the fields.

“Literally just across the road is the Anglesey Arms, with many regular and annual events plus a reputation for serving fine food with a menu based around organic produce from the Goodwood Estate and seafood landed at Selsey.

“Goodwood Estate offers golf and horse racing as well as its motoring events while Chichester with its Festival Theatre, cathedral, and fantastic shopping and restaurants is only four miles away.”

The guide price is available on application (EPC Band G main house, Band E for the annexe).
