New Fields by Redrow Homes in Chichester

About the Development

Nestled between the wide open spaces of the South Downs National Park and Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just a mile east of the city yet on the edge of superb West Sussex countryside, New Fields couldn’t be better placed. Not only does it enjoy a delightful location, it also has everything you need close by, from good and outstanding schools to excellent road and rail connections that link across the south coast from Portsmouth to Brighton and direct to London Victoria.

New Fields will offer a sought-after selection of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom family homes near Chichester from Redrow’s award winning Heritage Collection. Register your interest today and we’ll keep you right up to date as this development progresses and give you the pick of the plots when they are first released. Remember, we could help to sell your old home with our Help to Sell scheme.

Portfield Primary Academy is within walking distance of New Fields, and is rated ‘good’ by Ofsted, with The March CofE Primary also rated ‘good’. A little further away, Jessie Younghusband Primary is rated ‘outstanding’ and is well worth the extra journey time.
Older pupils enjoy just as good a choice and just as high a standard, with Chichester High School, around two miles away, rated ‘outstanding’ and Chichester Free School rated ‘good’.
For independent education, Westbourne House School and Oakwood School both cater for ages 2½ to 13.

Leisure

Both the historic city and the surrounding countryside have lots to offer for your leisure time. Visit the Roman ruins of Fishbourne Palace or the 12th century Chichester Cathedral. Reach for the stars at the South Downs Planetarium and Science Centre, or spend a day at the races at Glorious Goodwood or Fontwell Racecourse, both just a short drive away.
Goodwood is also home to a historic house, two great golf courses and some thrilling motor racing, making it a family favourite for a great day out.
For a day out with a difference, visit a thousand years of history at Arundel Castle, take a river cruise along the Arun or around the harbour, stroll around Bosham Quay or enjoy an invigorating afternoon at Flip trampoline centre.
Chichester offers a choice of culture, with both a multiplex and an arthouse cinema, as well as the Chichester Festival Theatre. The annual Festival of Chichester is a four-week celebration of arts and music, held every summer, while the Sloe Fair visits every October, bringing thrill rides and carnival fun.

Shopping

As an historic walled city, Chichester offers all your shopping needs within convenient walking distance, all centred around The Cross in the centre of the city. You’ll find all the major retailers here, as well as a fascinating range of quirky independent shops and stores tucked away down the side alleys.
There is a general market in the city centre every Wednesday, along with an award-winning farmers’ market on the first and third Friday of every month. The ancient city also makes the perfect setting for a charming Christmas market to end the year.
Closer to home, the Portfield Retail Park is home to the likes of Marks and Spencer and BHS, as well as electrical, DIY and furniture stores.
