Perfect for guests or visitors to enjoy the surrounding countryside. Parking is plentiful and there is a car barn with additional storage.
Location
Old Thatch is located on the edge of Thakeham in a rural setting yet close to both West Chiltington and Storrington for amenities.
Storrington provides a good range of local shopping including a Waitrose supermarket, cafes, restaurants, pubs and a selection of speciality shops and services. Two larger and well known supermarkets are to be found in Pulborough where there is also a main line station offering a regular service to London with journey times from 72 minutes.
From Pulborough there are also direct rail links to Gatwick. More extensive shopping, leisure and cultural amenities may be found in Chichester and Horsham. Road communications are good with the main A24 and A29 trunk routes providing the north-south link for London and the M25. There is a choice of good schools within reach including Windlesham House, Dorset House, Great Ballard, Seaford College, Hurstpierpoint College and Slindon College among others.
Recreational opportunities include golf at a number of clubs within easy reach including West Sussex, polo at Cowdray Park, racing and flying at Goodwood, gliding in Storrington and sailing at Chichester. In addition the RSPB centre at Pulborough Wild Brooks is a superb venue for birdwatching or simply walking the woods and wetlands. The area benefits from a network of footpaths and bridleways linking you into the nearby South Downs National Park. All distances and journey times are approximate.
