Description
The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hall which leads through to a bright and comfortable sitting room, enjoying a pleasant outlook over the rear garden. Positioned at the front of the property, the stylish kitchen/dining room provides a practical and sociable space, perfectly suited to modern family life and entertaining. Thoughtfully designed with ample storage and workspace, it forms the heart of the home, whilst a convenient cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a contemporary en suite shower room, all bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes, and there is a large cupboard on the landing all providing excellent storage. These rooms are served by a modern family bathroom.
Outside, the west-facing rear garden has been attractively landscaped to create a private and relaxing outdoor environment. A generous patio terrace offers the ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining, whilst the lawn, established planting and summer house combine to create a wonderful extension of the living space.
To the front of the property there is driveway parking for two vehicles. The garage has been thoughtfully adapted with a partition wall, creating a useful utility room to the rear while retaining valuable storage space to the front for bicycles, tools and general household items.
Gobey Drive enjoys a convenient position within easy reach of local shops, schools and everyday amenities, whilst Chichester's historic city centre, with its excellent range of restaurants, cultural attractions and mainline railway station, is just a short distance away. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a superbly maintained modern home in a highly desirable location.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
