Rock House is a delightful, detached Georgian family house with much charm and character located in a peaceful, idyllic, rural location. The spacious accommodation has good ceiling heights and large windows and includes, on the ground floor, a rear hall with a cupboard housing a washing machine and drying machine and also access to bedroom 5, a bathroom and a study. A door leads into the kitchen/breakfast room with fitted cupboards, storage shelves, a walk-in larder and an LPG fired Aga, an electric oven and hob and a dishwasher. There is a back door to the garden and door to the cellar. From the kitchen, a door leads to the dining room (currently used as a snug) with a working fireplace and south facing views over the front garden. Also from the kitchen, an arch gives access to the family room which gives access to the west facing terrace and is open to the sitting room with working fireplace and southerly views over the front garden. Upstairs is a large main bedroom with double doors into a large dressing room/bedroom 4. There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom on this floor.

The house sits well within its own gardens which are a key feature of the property, with large areas of lawn, mature shrubs and trees, with the rear garden having a lovely rural aspect and a small orchard. A number of terraced areas are ideal for enjoying the outlook at different times of the day. There are also three little ponds. The property is approached over a gated gravel driveway with parking to the left-hand side.

NB A small barn is adjacent to the house, which is independent, shares the driveway, and has its own parking area. The Landlord reserves the right to have continued use of the barn for family and/or short holiday let purposes.

Rock House is located in a beautiful, private, rural setting along a no-through country lane, in River Common, close to the hamlet of Upperton which is located on the west side of Petworth Park amidst the rolling West Sussex countryside and within The South Downs National Park. There is access to the beautiful Petworth Park just moments away and there are endless footpaths and bridleways very close by. The village of Tillington is about a mile to the south with its historic Horseguards Inn public house and All Hallows Church with origins dating back to the 12th century. Petworth is about 3 miles to the east and provides all the basic shopping needs as does Midhurst (about 5.5 miles to the west) and also includes Cowdray Park Golf Club, Polo lawns and a health club at the Spread Eagle Hotel. Goodwood (about 12 miles) has horseracing, motor racing and the hugely popular Festival of Speed and Revival. The cathedral city of Chichester (about 17 miles) with its renowned Festival Theatre has further shopping facilities with a good selection of high street shops and supermarkets. Mainline stations can be found at Haslemere (about 11 miles) and Pulborough (about 8 miles) both providing services to London and the south coast. The A3 can be accessed via Milford in under half an hour.
