A door leads to the garden store room which has services for a washing machine. There is an open fronted garage with an attached workshop / store, with external stairs leading to an office / studio and substantial storage space above.

There is also permission to replace the external staircase of the studio to match the existing staircase and incorporate two dormer windows to the first floor. Ask the agents for further information.
Gardens and Grounds
Old House is approached over a gravelled driveway with ample parking for several cars. The attractive gardens surround the property, mainly laid to lawn with a range of mature plants and a vegetable area. A walled garden to the south of the house features climbing roses and there is also a small orchard with apple and pear trees. A summer house is well positioned to enjoy the orchard and views of the oldest part of the house. In addition to gardens, there is also an area of woodland to the east and north.
The Location
Fittleworth is a popular village located within the beautiful South Downs National Park. There is an excellent school, an ancient church, and the community owned Fittleworth Stores and café.
The towns of Petworth and Pulborough 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 stations at Haslemere and Pulborough provide a fast service to London Waterloo and London Victoria respectively.
The surrounding area has much to offer with Polo at Cowdray Park, racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, golf at Cowdray Park, Goodwood, Pulborough and Liphook, motor racing at the Goodwood circuit and sailing out of Chichester Harbour and other centres along the South Coast. There are many footpaths and bridleways in the area for walking and riding.
Distances
By Road: London 57 miles, Petworth 4 miles, Pulborough 3.5 miles, Chichester 15 miles
