Renovated three-bedroom ground-floor apartment with private garden in the South Downs.
Ground-floor mansion-style apartment with period character
Set on the outskirts of Petworth within the South Downs National Park, this ground-floor mansion-house apartment offers a rare combination of period character and ready-to-live-in accommodation. Recently renovated throughout, the flat has a farmhouse-style kitchen opening to a bay-windowed dining area, a generous living room with feature fireplace, three practical bedrooms and two bathrooms including a Victoriana-style ensuite to the principal bedroom. A private garden wraps the apartment and allocated off-street parking sits beside the property.
The location suits someone seeking quiet country life with excellent mobile signal, very low local crime and easy access to local shops, bus services and a mix of good state and independent schools nearby. The apartment’s solid-brick construction, high ceilings and large sash-style windows deliver character and natural light while the surrounding mature trees and lawned grounds reinforce a peaceful, rural setting.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold and uses electric storage heaters as the main heating source. Broadband speeds are very slow in this area, and walls are assumed to be solid brick with no insulation — further insulation work may be needed to improve energy efficiency. Double glazing is present but install date is unknown. Council tax sits at a moderate level.
Overall this is an attractive, low-maintenance ground-floor home for buyers wanting period charm and a private garden without the upkeep of a full house. It will particularly suit downsizers or small families who value countryside peace and proximity to Petworth, but buyers should factor in the leasehold tenure, heating type and likely insulation improvements when considering long-term running costs.
