The Property
Parsley Cottage is situated on a quiet country lane that runs through the peaceful hamlet of Little Bognor. The house is believed to originate from the 18th Century and is constructed of local stone elevations under a clay tiled roof with later brick additions. It is set in attractive mature gardens with off street parking to its front and a handy garage.

Through the entrance hall to the left lies the dual aspect kitchen / breakfast room with views over the front garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base units under granite worksurfaces, a three oven gas fired Aga and flagstone flooring. A pantry and utility area with outdoor access and an adjoining storage area is situated to the rear of the kitchen. To the right of the entrance hall, double French doors open into the characterful drawing room, where exposed beams and a magnificent inglenook fireplace, complete with a copper canopy and original bread oven, create a warm and atmospheric setting. From the drawing room, steps lead down to the sitting room which is a bright and inviting space, also with double French doors that open directly onto the garden. A cloakroom completes the ground floor. Planning permission has been granted to excavate and create a ground floor room under the first floor study.

Upstairs, the generously proportioned main bedroom offers ample storage and a spacious en-suite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms, one benefiting from its own en-suite WC, as well as a family bathroom and a family shower room. A versatile study, also suitable as a double bedroom, features French doors that open onto a rear terrace, offering views over the garden and across to the South Downs beyond.

Gardens and Grounds
A gravelled driveway offers parking for three to four and leads to a garage, suitable for additional parking or storage.

A charming old stone wall borders the lane, set behind mature hedging that provides privacy and frames the inviting front garden. The garden itself is laid to lawn and beautifully enhanced by mature shrubs, fruit trees, and a magnificent magnolia in full bloom. Colourful, well-stocked borders feature a rich variety of flowering plants and shrubs.

A charming, paved pathway guides you to the beautifully landscaped rear garden, arranged across a series of terraced lawns. Elegant stone steps connect each level, framed by classic stone walls, mature shrubs, and richly planted borders that offer year-round interest. At the rear of the house, a spacious paved terrace provides an ideal spot for outdoor dining or quiet relaxation. Beyond the upper terrace, the garden backs onto open farmland, offering sweeping, uninterrupted views towards the South Downs.

The Location
The tranquil hamlet of Little Bognor is one mile from the village of Fittleworth which has a shop, public house and primary school. The towns of Petworth and Pulborough are close by and provide for most everyday needs, whilst Guildford in Surrey and the Cathedral city of Chichester, both with renowned Theatres, are within easy reach and have more extensive shopping and leisure facilities. The A3 provides fast access to London, the motorway network, Gatwick, Heathrow and Southampton airports, whilst the mainline station at Pulborough provides a service to London Victoria. Petworth and the surrounding area have much to offer with Polo at Cowdray Park, racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, golf at Cowdray Park, Goodwood, Pulborough and Liphook, motor racing at the Goodwood circuit and sailing out of Chichester Harbour and other centres along the South Coast. There are many footpaths and bridleways in the area for walking and riding. There is also fly fishing within walking distance of the house.
