Location

Nearby Lurgashall is nestled in the heart of the South Downs National Park just below Black Down, the highest hill in Sussex. The village, with its ancient parish church, is centred around a cricket green in front of the renowned and popular Noah’s Ark village pub, a former brew house and bakery that can trace its origins back to the 16th century. A village shop and Post Office on the green and another at Northchapel provide for daily needs, whilst a wider range of shopping is available at Midhurst, Petworth or Haslemere. Petworth, just 6 miles south of the property, that lies at the heart of the South Downs National Park and is home to the 17th Century National Trust owned Petworth House and beautiful 700 acre deer park, which is ideal for long, country walks. Petworth also has a range of antique shops, independent boutiques, restaurants and delicatessens.

There are excellent schools in the area including Amesbury, St Ives, Highfield & Brookham, Seaford College, St Edmunds Hindhead, The Royal School and Churcher’s College. In addition, there is an abundance of activities available locally due to the proximity of the Goodwood and Cowdray Estates.
