The Location
The property is situated down a long driveway of a no-through lane, in the popular hamlet of River Common between the villages of Lodsworth and Tillington, three miles from the town of Petworth. The house is surrounded by glorious, unspoilt countryside, within the South Downs National Park and provides miles of footpaths and bridleways for walking and riding from the door. The mainline station at Haslemere is also within easy reach and provides fast access to London Waterloo.

The towns of Midhurst and Petworth provide most everyday needs, whilst the town of Guildford in Surrey and the Cathedral city of Chichester, both with renowned Theatres, are within easy reach and provide more extensive shopping and leisure facilities.

The A3 provides fast access to London, the motorway network and airports. There are excellent recreational facilities in the area, with polo at Cowdray Park, horse and motor racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, golf at Cowdray Park, Pulborough and Liphook and sailing out of Chichester Harbour and other centres along the South Coast.
