DESCRIPTION
Whistlers is a delightful 18th century Grade II listed town house located in the heart of Petworth. This charming house has an attractive external front elevation of painted brick with wooden casement windows and the very well-presented accommodation includes a wealth of period features including extensive exposed oak beams and original fireplaces. An unusual feature is that the first and second floor is partially arranged over the ground floor of the adjacent property, so is technically a flying freehold. From the street, a front door opens into the dining room, with oak floor and an original fireplace fitted with a gas fired stove and an open staircase to the first floor. From the dining room a door leads into the kitchen/breakfast room which is fitted with a range of wall and base units with wooden worktops and a stainless steel sink unit, a 5 ring gas hob, a double electric oven, integrated dishwasher and space for a washing machine. There is a good size larder to one corner and steps lead down to a large cellar which provides excellent additional storage space. A door leads out on to the garden from the kitchen.

Upstairs, open to the landing is the attractive sitting room with a fireplace. Also on the first floor is the main bedroom and family bathroom with a panelled bath, wash hand basin and separate shower cubicle. A laundry room with plumbing for a washing machine is next to the bathroom. Bedroom 2/dressing room is fitted with an extensive range of built-in wardrobes and cupboards. From here a staircase rises to the second floor, which is all in the eaves and is currently arranged as two interconnecting rooms with vaulted ceilings and heritage roof lights, one with a sleeping platform with good storage under.

Outside, the pretty walled garden includes various terraces and shingle paths with mature decorative hedging, beds and shrubs, which create a lovely setting. Adjacent to the house is an outside WC and storage space for bins etc. At the far end of the garden is the delightful studio/garden room, which could also be used as a home office.
