Church Lane, Yapton, Arundel, West Sussex, BN18

Standing within beautiful flint walled gardens in a Conservation Area, a fine, detached, Grade II listed house of great charm and quietly understated elegance, believed to date in part from the 17th century.

Park Lodge is a beautiful Grade II listed detached house, occupying an excellent position on a pretty and quiet lane in a conservation area within the West Sussex village of Yapton. Dating to the seventeenth century,the house offers delightful and generous accommodation, elegantly presented with simplicity and style and includes many period features. Of particular note are the sunny and spacious drawing room, with its tall windows and doors to the delightful gardens, the lovely dining room, with deep bay overlooking the front gardens, and the excellent range of flint walled buildings connected to the house that encompass storage areas, a utility room, with stone trough sink, and a wonderful studio that could be used for a variety of purposes, all backing onto a pretty, paved courtyard with a mature Olive tree as its focal point.

On the first floor, all the bedrooms have tall windows and attractive outlooks. Outside, the gardens to the front and rear are especially lovely and are filled with exceptionally well planted, arranged and carefully tended, shrubs, trees and perennials in perfect English country garden style.

Yapton itself offers local shopping facilities, a village school, Church and a thriving community. The pretty beaches at Climping lie just to the south as does Bailiffscourt Hotel and Spa and the historic town of Arundel (5 miles) with its castle and cathedral to the North. Further afield, Chichester and Goodwood, with its calendar of horseracing and motoring events as well as golf and a spa, lie to the West. The nearest railway station with connecting services to London (Victoria) and along the south coast is at Barnham (1.5 miles).
