Rich in history the property was owned and built by George Frederick Read, one of the largest landowners in Goodwood. In 1922 he sold a portion across from the Elwick racecourse, by the early 30s the director of housing decided to subdivide the entire area and build affordable housing, playfully advertised as Glorious Goodwood and completed by 1957. Less than 5 of the original cottage estates in Goodwood remain untouched. Ideally located within walking distance to nearby Prince of Wales Bay and the Montrose Foreshore, along with numerous parks and reserves, and close to major shops and services, this classic cottage in the heart of Goodwood offers modern comfort, spacious living, and convenience.
