Built in 1601 and beautifully restored, St Martin’s House is one of Chichester’s most extraordinary places to stay. Four bedrooms, four en suites, two freestanding baths, a four poster bed, a working fire, an orangery, a skylight kitchen and a private garage. Spacious enough for a group of adults, characterful enough to feel genuinely special. Fifteen minutes from Goodwood. Walking distance from Chichester Festival Theatre and the city’s best restaurants. The space Some houses you stay in and forget. St Martin's House is not one of them. Built in 1601 and sitting quietly on one of Chichester's most historic streets, this immaculately restored townhouse is full of original character and period detail, yet finished to an exceptional modern standard throughout. It is consistently one of the most sought after adult group stays in Chichester, perfect for a multigenerational gathering of adults, friends celebrating a special occasion, or a group looking for a genuinely luxurious base for Goodwood, a theatre break or a West Sussex escape. The house gives everyone space to breathe while still feeling together. Downstairs there is a dark and atmospheric dining room for long evenings around the table, a cosy living room with a working log fire and TV for quieter nights in, a light and airy drawing room for lazy mornings, a beautiful orangery with soft seating for four, and a little snug for those who simply want to disappear with a book. The centrepiece is a stunning kitchen, huge and beautifully lit with a skylight flooding the space with natural light and doors opening directly onto the garden. This is the kind of kitchen that makes people want to cook. Upstairs, four beautifully finished bedrooms each have their own en suite bathroom. The principal bedroom features a magnificent four poster bed, a genuinely historic piece that feels entirely at home in a house of this age and character. Two of the bathrooms have freestanding baths. Every room is stocked with White Company linens and Molton Brown toiletries throughout. For those staying a little longer, St Martin's House reveals another of its great qualities. This is a house with genuine space to breathe. The four bedrooms are all generously sized, and with the drawing room, the snug, the orangery, the living room and the courtyard garden, up to eight adults can each find their own quiet corner to read, rest or simply sit with a coffee and do nothing at all. After a long day at Goodwood, a full afternoon at the theatre or a morning exploring the city, coming back to a house this spacious feels like a genuine luxury. There is no sense of eight people crowding into a small sitting room. Everyone has room to unwind in their own way before coming together again around the dining table for the evening. St Martin's House suits almost any combination of adults looking for somewhere genuinely special. It is as perfect for a mother treating her grown up daughters to something truly special as it is for old friends long overdue a proper reunion, colleagues wanting somewhere extraordinary for a working retreat, or a group of motorsport devotees who want real comfort and space after a long day at Goodwood. Whatever brings you here, St Martin's House gives every guest their own space without anyone feeling like an afterthought. Outside, the garden provides a peaceful retreat away from the city. Parking is included, with one space inside a private garage and a second on the driveway, an almost unheard of advantage in central Chichester. Goodwood is fifteen minutes by car, perfect for the Festival of Speed, Revival, Members Meeting or horse racing. Chichester Festival Theatre is a short walk away. West Wittering's sandy beaches and the South Downs National Park are both an easy drive. The city's best independent restaurants, shops and Pallant House Gallery are right on the doorstep. Guests wake up to find fresh pastries and breakfast treats waiting for them. We like to make sure the first morning feels special. St Martin's House is a cherished family home shared with discerning guests. We ask everyone who stays to treat it with the same care and pride that goes into maintaining it. Whether you are planning a landmark celebration, a Goodwood group trip, a special occasion or simply want the most extraordinary house in Chichester for a long weekend, St Martin's House is the kind of place that people talk about long after they have left.
