Petworth 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 and services for everyday needs together with a wealth of antique shops. Schools in the area include Seaford College, Dorset House and Conifers. Chichester (13 miles south) provides excellent shopping and leisure facilities including the renowned Festival Theatre. There is a varied selection of eateries in the area ranging from country pubs to fine restaurants. Sporting activities include golf at Cowdray Park and Petworth Downs. Polo at Cowdray Park and horse racing at Goodwood and Fontwell. Communications with London are surprisingly easy with mainline stations at Haslemere (9 miles, Waterloo 60 minutes) and Pulborough (4 miles, Victoria 70 minutes). The A3 (M) is within a 14 mile drive.

Originally the Ballroom of the Grade II listed Swan Hotel (now converted to 4 high specification apartments) and dating from the late 1800’s, this newly converted apartment combines period detail with clean contemporary lines to create a gracious town residence.
