Main Description

SITUATION:
The property is situated in the centre of the town with its entrance well back from New Street but also with a bay window facing west over Market Square. 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 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 Chichester (16 miles) as well as the renowned Festival Theatre. Communications with London are surprisingly easy with mainline stations at Haslemere (11 miles, Waterloo 60 minutes) and Pulborough (6 miles, Victoria 70 minutes). The A3 (M) is within a 15 mile drive.
