Petworth, which is at the heart of the South Downs National Park, offers shopping facilities for day-to-day needs, delightful antique and boutique shops and restaurants with more extensive shopping facilities in the nearby towns of Haslemere and Midhurst. The mainline train station at Haslemere provides frequent services into London Waterloo in approximately 56 minutes. The cathedral city of Chichester to the south also offers extensive shopping facilities and is renowned for its Festival Theatre.
Weston House is a beautiful Grade II listed village house with a traceable history dating from the early 17th century, though it is believed the site has been inhabited since the late 15th century. The house has been significantly enhanced throughout its lifetime with a notable Georgian wing added, we believe in the early 19th century, when it was part of the Leconfield Estate. Weston House has a wealth of original character and charm, including handsome stone and fish-scale hung tile elevations, wooden windows throughout with large sash windows in the 19th Century extension, a clay tile roof, and large inglenook fireplaces in the sitting and dining rooms.
There are numerous highlights of this house, however of note to the ground floor is the drawing room with open fire, triple aspect windows, tall ceilings and the French doors which give way to the terrace beyond and outstanding views of the South Downs. The kitchen, with its partially partitioned breakfast room is also a wonderful space with an AGA at its heart, and again boasting south-facing views across the gardens and neighbouring fields beyond. Of note, the dining room and sitting rooms are substantial rooms, both with inglenook fireplaces, perfect for entertaining and family gatherings.
To the first floor are four bedrooms in all with an occasional fifth, currently used as a study. Each of the four bedrooms has excellent proportions and an en suite bathroom. The principal bedroom is particularly well-appointed with a large en suite bathroom, plentiful storage and has a wonderful dual-aspect view to the south. The study also has a dual aspect, but also a vaulted ceiling creating a multi-functional space.
Weston House is entered off the A272 via an elegant gravel driveway which extends to large parking area and to the double garage with an attractive old stone wall running along its east side.
The much-loved private gardens, which are kept to a very high standard, are principally laid to lawn and feature some superb trees and shrubs which include wisteria, camelia, roses, eucalyptus, and dog wood which provide stunning colour throughout the changing seasons. There is also a large York stone terrace which adjoins the kitchen/breakfast room and drawing room, providing a great place to sit and enjoy the beautiful, far-reaching views. Trees to the front of the property include magnolia, together with apple and pear trees trained along the wall.
There are plentiful outbuildings in addition to the double garage; adjacent to it is the barn; a wonderful stone-built building currently used as a games room and store with a greenhouse attached on its southerly end. Further are a stone-built garden room, located in a quiet, tucked-away corner of the garden from which one can enjoy the views, and a brick-built bothy closer to the 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
