Petworth, GU28

The stained-glass front door opens into an impressive reception hall, where a broad staircase rises through the centre of the house and immediately showcases the property's scale and character. To the front, the elegant family room enjoys a striking marble fireplace and a generous bay window overlooking the garden, whilst the sitting room is equally inviting, featuring a second period fireplace and a bright aspect across the grounds. The kitchen has recently been reconfigured and comprehensively refitted to a superb standard, creating a stylish and highly functional space. Bespoke cabinetry is complemented by quality worktops, and a central island that doubles as a breakfast area. A pantry cupboard provides excellent storage, whilst integrated appliances including a second oven, two dishwashers and a wine fridge add further practicality. The traditional Aga remains a charming feature, seamlessly blending period character with modern convenience. Beyond, the conservatory provides an outstanding dining space, flooded with natural light and perfectly suited to entertaining with room enough for a sizeable dining table to seat at least 10. The adjacent utility area has been cleverly reconfigured to incorporate a cloakroom/WC whilst retaining dedicated space for laundry appliances and household storage.
The first-floor landing is a particular highlight, large enough to serve as an office space and reading area, with an impressive leaded-light window featuring stained-glass detailing flooding the space with natural light. The principal bedroom benefits from excellent built-in storage and a newly fitted en suite shower room finished in a contemporary style. Further generous bedrooms on this floor are served by a shower room.
The second floor provides three additional generous sized bedrooms and a family bathroom, offering exceptional flexibility for larger families, guests or those working from home.

Outside

The beautifully maintained gardens provide a wonderful setting for family life and outdoor entertaining. Predominantly laid to lawn, the grounds are bordered by mature hedging and established planting, creating a high degree of privacy and year-round interest. Enjoying a desirable aspect, the garden captures sunshine all day, with a generous paved terrace perfectly positioned for al fresco dining and relaxing during the warmer months. To the rear of the property, a garage is complemented by ample off-street parking for several vehicles.

Situation

Nestled in the heart of the South Downs National Park, Fox Hill is a small rural hamlet just on the outskirts of Petworth, which is home to the famous National Trust owned Petworth Park and offers superb walking and riding. The town provides for most everyday needs, with a good selection of shops, cafes and restaurants, whilst the town of Guildford in Surrey and the Cathedral city of Chichester, both with renowned theatres, are within easy reach and provide more extensive shopping and leisure facilities.
