In a tranquil setting and surrounded by open countryside and woodland, this secluded detached Victorian house enjoys delightful views over a lake and pastureland. Ideal as a holiday home for an extended family (or two families holidaying together), there is much to see and do in this scenic area of Sussex. The house has a sunny south facing terrace and substantial garden. In addition guests will enjoy the use of 15 acres of secluded bluebell woods and pasture leading to a 1-acre lake. Nearer the house there is a smaller lake in a woodland setting where coarse fishing is available. The property has access to an extensive network of footpaths through this unspoilt part of the low weald rich in animals, birds and plant life. The pretty village of Kirdford has a shop, pub and restaurant and there are numerous country pubs in local villages. The quaint town of Petworth (4miles) is famous for its stately home, Capability Brown park and antique shops. The charming small town of Midhurst as well as Billingshurst and Haslemere are all within 20minutes' drive and have good restaurants and more extensive shopping. Motor racing and horse racing are nearby at Goodwood. Leornardslee and West Dean Gardens, Parham House, the Weald and Downland museum and the South Downs themselves are all close. Chichester (½hour) has its ancient cathedral, festival theatre, Roman ruins, harbour tours and tearooms. At Arundel the castle and Wildfowl Trust are popular.
