Boxgrove offers a mix of property styles that reflect its character as a traditional West Sussex village. The conservation area, including homes along The Street, contains several period properties, among them a Grade II Listed Georgian village house. These older homes often need extra attention during valuations because of their listed status and the chance of restricted mortgageability. The village also has modern developments, including detached family homes built in the 1990s and 2000s, which tend to appeal to families who want good schools and village life within reach of Chichester.

Boxgrove’s proximity to Goodwood Estate adds something different to the local property market.

Alongside the Cathedral City of Chichester and the nearby town of Arundel, it helps create a varied housing market that our valuers know well. When we value your Help to Buy property, we take all of those local factors into account so the valuation is accurate and defensible.
