2 bedroom cottage for sale

SITUATION:  Dove Cottage is situated about halfway along North Street but its proximity to the road is more than compensated by the panoramic rural view from the rear over the Shimmings Valley, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Perhaps best known for the National Trust owned Petworth House with its beautiful 750 acre parkland (designed by Capability Brown), the town benefits from a regular farmer's market, excellent deli with butchers, a wealth of antique shops, and an assortment of eateries. Schools in the area include Petworth Primary School, Midhurst Rother College, Seaford College, Dorset House and Conifers to name but a few. Chichester (13 miles) provides excellent shopping and leisure facilities including the renowned Festival Theatre. In addition to the restaurants in Petworth itself there is a good supply of country pubs and fine restaurants in close proximity. Sporting activities include golf at Cowdray Park, Polo at Cowdray Park and horse racing at Goodwood and Fontwell. Communications with London are surprisingly easy with mainline stations at Haslemere (9 miles Waterloo 60 mins.) and Pulborough (4 miles Victoria 70 mins.) The A3 (M) is within a 14 mile drive providing easy access to London Heathrow and Southampton airports and the motorway networks to the north and south.
