Tillington, Petworth, West Sussex GU28

At the heart of the home is a striking open plan reception and dining room, an impressive and light filled space showcasing the building’s historic charm alongside its adaptability for modern living. Double glazed doors open directly onto the terrace, drawing in natural light and framing views across the gardens and towards the South Downs.

The kitchen is well appointed and thoughtfully arranged, featuring a range of fitted wall and base units complemented by granite work surfaces and a Rangemaster cooker with double oven and gas hob.

Practicality has been carefully considered, with a useful boot room, cloakroom and utility room positioned to one end of the property, along with direct access into the car barn. Stairs from this area lead to a large, partially converted loft space, offering further potential.

The bedroom accommodation on the ground floor comprises three well proportioned double bedrooms, served by a shower room. Above, a mezzanine level provides a versatile family room or study overlooking the living space below, while the first floor hosts a generous principal bedroom suite, complete with a dressing area and en suite bathroom.

Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, enhancing comfort and efficiency.

The property also benefits from approved Listed Building Consent for a number of enhancements, including the installation of replacement double glazed windows, internal alterations, conversion of the loft space and the construction of an office building within the paddock (applications SDNP/25/02221/CND and SDNP/25/02168/CND).

We understand that a small area of the paddock furthest from the property has previously been affected by Japanese Knotweed. The knotweed has been removed and is subject to a continuing professional management plan.

Gardens and Grounds
The property is approached via a traditional five bar gate opening onto a generous gravel driveway, providing ample parking and access to a two bay open car barn.

The south facing walled garden is a particular feature, predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by established borders and mature trees, creating a private and tranquil setting. A raised timber terrace provides an ideal space for al fresco dining whilst enjoying the far reaching views.

Beyond the main garden, the property also includes a separate paddock or orchard, offering further lifestyle or amenity potential.

White House Barn is situated on the outskirts of the sought after village of Tillington, which is home to a well regarded public house and enjoys a quintessential West Sussex setting.

The nearby market towns of Midhurst and Petworth provide an excellent range of independent shops, restaurants and everyday amenities, while the Cathedral city of Chichester and the county town of Guildford offer more extensive shopping, cultural and leisure facilities, including renowned theatres.

Communications are excellent, with the A3 providing fast access to London, the motorway network and both Gatwick and Heathrow airports. Mainline railway stations can be found at Pulborough and Haslemere.

The surrounding area is particularly well regarded for its leisure pursuits, including polo at Cowdray Park, horse racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, golf at several local courses, and sailing from Chichester Harbour. The South Downs National Park offers an abundance of footpaths and bridleways for walking and riding.
