DIRECTIONS:

Leave Petworth on the A285 Chichester road and after 2 miles (just beyond the Duncton Car Sales Garage on the right) turn left to Sutton and Bignor. Continue for 1 mile and at the crossroads turn right.  Proceed for a further 1¾ miles into Sutton village and turn right (in front of The White Horse pub) into Barlavington Lane. Turn immediately left in to the shared drive of Crossets and Hurst Cottage.

 

SITUATION:.

The property enjoys an enviable location in the heart of this much sought after Downland village close to the village pub and village hall and within a short walk of the Parish Church. The surrounding countryside is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with many miles of footpaths and bridleways.

 

Petworth (5 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 offers a good range of shops for everyday needs together with a wealth of antique shops. There are supermarkets at Pulborough, Midhurst and Chichester. State schools in the area include Herbert Shiner primary and middle school in Petworth and Midhurst Grammar. In the private sector, Seaford College, Dorset House, St Margaret’s and Conifers. Sporting activities include golf at Cowdray Park and Osiers Farm, Polo at Cowdray Park and horse racing at Goodwood and Fontwell. Communications with London are surprisingly easy with mainline stations at Haslemere (15 miles, Waterloo 60 minutes) and Pulborough (6.5 miles, Victoria 70 minutes). The A3 (M) is with a 19 mile drive.
