SITUATION:
Whilst the property is situated in the heart of the town, the High Street is a quiet backwater and is not a major through traffic route. The vehicle access to the garage and parking is from Rosemary Lane. The historic market town of Petworth lies at the heart of the South Downs National Park and is perhaps best known for the National Trust owned Petworth House with its beautiful 750 acre parkland. The town also benefits from a regular farmers market, first class deli and shops catering for most everyday needs. There are annual Petworth music and literary festivals and a range of vibrant activities, clubs and societies. Sporting activities include golf at Cowdray Park and horse and motor racing at Goodwood. More comprehensive shopping facilities, including major supermarkets, can be found in Chichester (12 miles) as well as the renowned Festival Theatre. Communications with London are surprisingly easy with mainline stations at Haslemere (12 miles, Waterloo 60 minutes) and Pulborough (4 miles, Victoria 70 minutes). The A3 (M) is within a 17 mile drive.
DESCRIPTION:
One of Petworth's most prominent town houses, Windmill House has the highly prized combination of a quiet location, easily maintained courtyard garden and not only a double garage but additional parking. This Grade II listed attached house dates from the seventeenth century with part tile hung elevations of brick and stone under a clay tiled roof. The spacious and adaptable accommodation is arranged over three floors and there is even potential to create a self contained annexe at the rear of the property. The front door opens to a lobby leading into a well proportioned dining room. The adjacent kitchen is well fitted with a range of painted wall and floor cupboards and there is a large larder. The bright south facing breakfast area overlooks the garden. Steps lead up to a sitting room with double doors to outside. There is also a cloakroom, utility room and study on this level. Stairs lead up to the first floor landing with a cosy reading nook. The first floor Drawing room has some interesting period features including an inglenook fireplace with log burner and a period carved pine dome top recess fitting. The adjacent master bedroom has a walk in cupboard and an ensuite shower room. To the rear of the house is the second bedroom and a shower room. Oak stairs lead up to the second floor with the large third bedroom, adjoining bathroom and the fourth bedroom which is presently fitted as a study with fitted shelves and cupboards.
OUTSIDE:
To the rear of the house is a delightful rose clad walled courtyard garden with a gate from the adjacent footpath and a door leading to the garage. The flagstoned lower courtyard provides a sheltered south facing suntrap and steps lead to a small area of grass with a variety of mature shrubs. The detached double garage has light and power and is equipped with roller doors. There is a separate utility room with space for appliances.
SERVICES: Mains water, gas, electricity and drainage. Gas fired central heating.

Property information from this agent
About this agent
Founded in 1988, Barrington and Company are leading independent residential and commercial estate agents and property managers. We have prominently located offices in Petworth and Midhurst covering one of the most sought after and desirable areas of West Sussex.Our approach to property sales and lettings is a little different from other estate agents. We concentrate on a select few properties at any time and this policy enables us to devote our efforts and resources to achieving the results our clients expect, a rapid sale or let at the best possible price or rent. What we do not do is leave your property to sell itself while we are out taking on yet more properties in order to meet a head office quota. Our clients deal directly with the person who conducted the initial property appraisal, who will see the transaction through from beginning to end. We do not employ part time viewing ladies or expect our clients to conduct viewings of their properties for us. All our instructions are sole or joint sole agencies. We are often invited to act with some of the country’s most prestigious London agents. We will only take on a property that we know we can sell or let. We advise our clients on achievable prices not prices to win the instruction. Sometimes this policy does not win us the instruction first time round but we are often asked back when the first appointed agent has failed to deliver. We’ve been around along time and have traded successfully through boom and bust markets, always aware that we are only as good as our reputation. We rarely lose an instruction and most of our business now comes from personal recommendations from previous clients. We don’t need to blow our own trumpet – our clients are happy to do that for us - read our "Testimonials".
