Oldhams is located at the beginning of a private no-through lane and set back from the A272. The grounds of 1.46 acres offer complete privacy and seclusion. The lane continues as a bridleway linking to several other public footpaths and providing idyllic country walks literally on the doorstep. There is even a counrty pub near the end of one of the footpaths.The attractive old market town of Petworth (2 miles) is probably best known for the National Trust owned Petworth House with its beautiful 750 acre parkland in the heart of the South Downs National Park. It also boasts a regular farmers market, first class deli and shops catering for most everyday needs. There are several pubs, restaurants and coffee shops. Sporting activities include golf at Cowdray Park and horse and motor racing at Goodwood. Communications with London are surprisingly easy with mainline stations at Haslemere (9 miles, Waterloo 60 minutes) and Pulborough (4 miles, Victoria 70 minutes). The A3 (M) is within a 14 mile drive.
DESCRIPTION:
Oldhams is listed Grade II and the principal residence is thought to date from 1580 with timber framed part tile hung elevations of brick under a clay tiled roof. The house forms part of a courtyard of buildings that include a Sussex barn converted to provide self-contained ancillary accommodation, a substantial detached garage, a period granary complete with original staddle stones and also a detached stable building of timber construction under a clay tiled roof. Additional features include a high quality Alitex greenhouse and recently installed heated swimming pool with adjacent decking. As would be expected, the main residence is heavily beamed but ceiling heights are good and the rooms are light and airy. The front door opens to a hall with adjoining newly fitted shower/utility room. The double aspect sitting room has an Inglenook fireplace and this leads through to the dining room, also with Inglenook and log burner. The kitchen has been recently refitted with Neptune units which have a lifetime guarantee. It includes ample work surfaces, an electric Aga and integral appliances. A door leads to the garden terrace. From the dining room stairs rise to the first floor landing with 2 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Stairs continue to the second floor with a further 2 good sized bedrooms.
OUTBUILDINGS:
The barn provides a perfect relative or guest cottage, its vaulted sitting/dining room has a wood burner and glazed double doors on both sides to the courtyard and garden. There is a separate kitchen, shower room and mezzanine bedroom above. The Granary is of traditional timber construction under a tiled roof and would make a great party room/home cinema but could be adapted to home office use. The coach house style double garage has first floor storage and the stable building has water and power.
OUTSIDE:
The garden and grounds are a particular feature of the property with a wide gravelled courtyard linking the main house and outbuildings and providing ample parking area. The gardens are laid mainly to lawns with well stocked borders and many mature trees and shrubs. There is a further area of oak copse land with woodland flowers and a small paddock.
SERVICES:
Mains water and electricity, private drainage. Oil fired central heating in main house.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
