Main Description
A tastefully presented semi-detached Victorian cottage, quietly situated away from main roads with private parking, landscaped courtyard garden and distance rural views.
SITUATION:
The cottage is quietly situated well away from the main road on a no-through lane leading off North Street but still within a short walk of the town centre. It commands distant rural views from both the house and garden over the Shimmings Valley. The historic market town of Petworth lies at the heart of the South Downs National Park and is 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 activities, clubs and 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 (12 miles) as well as the renowned Festival Theatre. Communications with London are surprisingly easy with mainline stations at Haslemere (12 miles, Waterloo 60 minutes) and Pulborough (4 miles, Victoria 70 minutes). The A3 (M) is within a 17 mile drive.
DESCRIPTION:
Rose Cottage, which is not listed, probably dates from the mid 1800's with elevations of stone and brick under a clay tiled roof. The property has been tastefully updated in recent years and offers well planned accommodation. The front door opens to the light and elegant dining room and the adjoining open plan kitchen is well fitted with sleek white units, ample worktops and integral appliances. Glazed double doors open from the dining room to the conservatory which has a built in desk at one end and a door to the garden. The sitting room with its fireplace and fitted log burner has a range of recessed display shelves and cupboards. Stairs rise to the first floor landing with a utility cupboard housing the central heating boiler and plumbing for washing machine. The two double bedrooms each have built in wardrobes and the part panelled bathroom has a hatch to the loft.
OUTSIDE:
From the parking area steps lead to a communal pathway and from here a gate leads in to the delightful courtyard garden which has been professionally landscaped and designed for ease of maintenance. The upper level provides a sheltered al-fresco dining area flanked by the mellow brick walls of the cottage. Two steps lead to a wide flagstoned terrace bounded by low stone retaining walls and garden borders stocked with a variety of mature shrubs. Garden shed.
SERVICES: Mains water, gas, electricity and drainage. Gas fired central heating.
COUNCIL TAX: Band C. Chichester District Council.
