The Property
Stringers Cottage is a grade II* listed cottage, in a remarkable position within the centre of Petworth. Tucked away down a private lane off East Street, away from the roads, it gives the feeling of being down a peaceful country lane yet has everything the town has to offer at its doorstep. The property is partially attached on its southern end and offers a secluded location with pretty walled garden, views to the Shimmings Valley and many original features.
The cottage has been extensively renovated by the current owners, yet it retains its period qualities including large open fireplaces, Jacobean panelling and characterful, exposed timbers throughout the property.
From the front door, a large hallway leads onto the sitting and dining rooms which are bright and spacious for a cottage of this age and provide a warm and inviting space for entertaining. The fully fitted bespoke kitchen has full stave English oak worktops, a Lacanche range cooker, integrated Bosch dishwasher, drawer fridges and an adjoining pantry. There is also a separate utility area and a cloakroom.
A large cellar with excellent head height which is currently used for storage, offers further scope as extra en suite accommodation, another living space or games room subject to the usual planning consents.
A wide staircase leads to the first floor where the main bedroom features an exquisitely carved early 17th C fireplace and has views over the garden towards the Shimmings Valley beyond. There is a further sunny double bedroom and a family bathroom with Perrin & Rowe fittings and original ships boards. On the second floor is another bedroom, a den / additional child’s sleeping area and substantial eaves space which offers extensive storage.
At the northern end of the house is a large void which, subject to the usual planning consents, could be developed to provide further accommodation or ensuite facilities.
Outside
The secluded landscaped walled garden is well planted, edged with mature borders, which include a variety of well established plants and shrubs. It includes a dining area under a rose pergola, a discreet wooden children’s climbing frame and a shed. There is a sunny courtyard area with space for a table and chairs and a useful garden studio, currently set up as a home office with insulation and underfloor heating. Also included is a large covered parking space with adjoining wood and bicycle storage.
The Location
Stringers Cottage is centrally located in the historic market town of Petworth. The town lies at the heart of the South Downs National Park and is home to the 17th Century National Trust owned Petworth House and beautiful 700 acre deer park, which is just a short walk from the property and is ideal for long, country walks.
Petworth has a range of antique shops, independent boutiques, restaurants and delicatessens. The larger town of Haslemere nearby offers a wider range of shops and supermarkets. Guildford in Surrey and the Cathedral city of Chichester, both with renowned Theatres, are also within easy reach and have more extensive shopping and leisure facilities. The A3 provides fast access to London, the motorway network, Gatwick, Heathrow and Southampton airports.
The surrounding area has much to offer with Polo at Cowdray Park, racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, golf at Cowdray Park, Goodwood, Pulborough and Liphook, motor racing at the Goodwood circuit and sailing out of Chichester Harbour and other centres along the South Coast. There are many footpaths and bridleways in the area for walking and riding.
