The Location
Ebernoe is a charming hamlet just to the north of Petworth, within the South Downs National Park and is surrounded by beautiful countryside and woodland. Ebernoe Common, a nature reserve managed by the Sussex Wildlife Trust provides some stunning views and lovely walks. There is a Victorian and historic church and a thriving cricket ground. The towns of Petworth and Midhurst are close by and provide for most everyday needs, whilst Guildford in Surrey and the Cathedral city of Chichester, both with renowned Theatres, are within easy reach and have more extensive shopping and leisure facilities. The A3 provides fast access to London, the motorway network, Gatwick, Heathrow and Southampton airports, whilst the mainline station at Haslemere provides a fast service to London Waterloo.
