Located on a small estate at the northern edge of town, this residence is within easy reach of various local amenities. The historic heart of Petworth is well-known for its vibrant community, including a regular farmers market and diverse shops that cater to daily needs. The area also hosts annual music and literary festivals, providing a rich cultural backdrop.

Comprehensive shopping options are available in Chichester (12 miles away), which is also home to the renowned Festival Theatre. With mainline stations at Haslemere and Pulborough providing convenient transport links to London, commuting is straightforward. The property's layout offers considerable potential for improvement or expansion, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. A spacious L-shaped conservatory extends from the side and rear of the house, significantly enhancing its living area. Inside, you will find a welcoming lobby leading to a comfortable sitting room and an additional room that can serve as a dining area or third bedroom. The kitchen features an extensive array of wall and floor units with generous countertop space and opens directly into the large conservatory. A cloakroom adds functional convenience on the ground floor. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms equipped with built-in wardrobes and eaves storage, along with a shower room completing this level. Outside, access to the property is via a shared pathway leading to a front garden featuring mature shrubs and lawned areas. The rear garden provides ample space for further development or landscaping projects, consisting of raised paved terraces flanking two sides of the house alongside a well-maintained lawn and herbaceous borders. Equipped with mains water, gas, electricity, and drainage services alongside gas-fired central heating, this property represents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to invest in an evolving area with significant upside potential.
