Main Description
A prominent detached village house with spacious and adaptable living space, mature private gardens, garage and workshop, situated close to Petworth Park.
SITUATION:
The property is situated right in the centre of the village next to the Horse Guards Inn and opposite the Parish Church. There is a bus stop a few hundred yards away on the A272. Petworth (1 mile) is an attractive old market town perhaps best known for the National Trust owned Petworth House with its beautiful 750 acre parkland. There is a gate into the park close to the property. 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)
DESCRIPTION:
The Grade II listed Old Post House is believed to date from the 16th Century with later additions. It ceased trading as the Tillington Post Office in 1997 when it was subsequently converted into a house.

It also has the benefit of a ground floor bedroom which enjoys its very own access and bathroom as well as three reception rooms, a south facing conservatory, kitchen looking over its garden to the rear of the property and a very handy utility room.
OUTSIDE:
A gravel driveway to the side of the house leads through double gates and a wisteria clad arch to the garden with its mature specimen trees and shrubs, well stocked borders and paved sun terrace.
OUTBUILDINGS include a double garage with inspection pit, workshop, car port and garden store.
