SITUATION:
The property is situated just north of Petworth and south of Northchapel, within easy reach of Haslemere mainline station and the A3 at Hindhead. Petworth (2.3 miles) is an attractive old market town perhaps best known for the National Trust owned Petworth House with its beautiful 750 acre parkland. The town also benefits from a regular farmers market, first class deli and shops catering for most everyday needs. There are annual Petworth music and literary festivals and a range of vibrant societies. Sporting activities include golf at Cowdray Park and horse and motor racing at Goodwood. More comprehensive shopping facilities, including major supermarkets, can be found in Haslemere (8.5 miles) and Chichester (16 miles) which also has the renowned Festival Theatre. Communications with London are surprisingly easy with mainline stations at Haslemere (Waterloo 60 minutes) and Pulborough (7.5 miles, Victoria 70 minutes). The A3 (M) is within a 11 mile drive.

DESCRIPTION:
Probably dating from the late 1800's, this attractive detached house has been extended in more recent years and now provides extensive and adaptable family accommodation. The front door opens to a welcoming reception hall with cloakroom. The light and airy formal dining room opens to the double aspect drawing room with its open fireplace and doors to the south facing garden terrace. A separate study provides a quiet work from home space whilst at the other end of the house is a spacious family room. The well fitted kitchen has an Aga and an adjoining breakroom room with doors to the east facing terrace, A utility room completes the ground floor. From the hall a staircase rises to the first floor which offers not only three self-contained bedroom/bathroom suites but three further bedrooms (one currently fitted as a dressing room) and a fourth bathroom. Most bedrooms have custom made wardrobes and one has an adjoining roof terrace. A second staircase to one suite provides potential to create a self-contained annexe if required.

OUTSIDE:
The property is approached by a gravelled drive leading to a wide parking area in front of the house and on to the garage. The well kept grounds are designed for ease of maintenance and mostly to the east and south of the house. An extensive shaded terrace extends along two sides of the property, providing a perfect setting for al fresco dining. A croquet lawn bounds the terrace to the east and is overlooked by an attractive Dovecote. To the south a short walk across the lawn leads to the heated swimming pool enjoying its own oasis of calm encircled by mature Photinia hedges. The refurbished and re-lined pool is heated by a recently installed air source heat pump and new pumping-room equipment. The gently sloping grounds continue beyond the pool and are laid mainly to lawns surrounded by mature oaks and ashes and with a variety of specimen trees and shrubs and a childen's play house. There is also a
brick-built artesian well affording alternative water supply.
