Tucked away in the picturesque West Sussex Village of Fittleworth, this beautiful three-bedroom stone cottage is a tranquil holiday hideaway for up to eight people. Wooden beams and exposed brick walls feature in the vast open plan living space which opens completely to the secluded garden edged with woodland. The peace and luxury of your surroundings will allow you and your party to fully recharge away from the hubbub of city life. Go exploring through the delightful woods of Hesworth Common directly outside the front door for picnics or seek out a country pub. There are farm shops and an award-winning convenience store within walking distance selling local food, drinks and wares, or nip into the nearby village of Pulborough or the county towns of Petworth and Arundel which host an array of historic pubs, shops and attractions. Whether you’re looking for a family holiday, a romantic getaway or a weekend away with friends, this country abode provides the perfect base for your self-catering stay. You’ll pass through some of the most exquisite countryside as you drive through the South Downs National Park from either London or the South Coast. Undulating patchwork hills and sweeping roads guide you to Fittleworth where this house sits up a signposted, private road opposite the village church. There is ONLY parking for TWO cars at the property. One car can be parked inside the gates in the driveway and the other just in front of the gate. Guests CANNOT park opposite the property as this is reserved for delivery and emergency vehicles. Additional free parking is available on Church Lane, just a couple of minutes walk away. Stepping inside, fine quality furnishings and stylish pendant lighting can be found throughout to create a space which feels both homely and contemporary. Within the generous open plan living room and kitchen, there is ample space for formal dining and relaxing on sofas; one of which is a comfortable double sofa bed. During the summer months, you can spill outside through three sets of bi-folding doors which seamlessly link the house to the decking for drinks and dining alfresco. For evenings in, a flat screen TV with sound system and complementary WiFi is in place for streaming movies - although there is plenty to entertain you nearby. If you’re cooking for family or friends, the kitchen is well-equipped with every appliance you could need to whip up a delicious meal and the wine fridge awaits your Chablis or local English sparkling wines purchased from any one of the local vineyards. There is a good range of crockery, glassware, cutlery, cooking utensils and pans, plus tea, coffee and milk will also be provided. Should you need anything in particular, or have any special dietary requirements, please ask and we will make every effort to accommodate. There are three comfortable double bedrooms; one with king bed, one double and one twin, all dressed in quality white linens. All have built-in clothes and shoe storage, and each bed has a deep hybrid mattress with plump pillows. Plantation shutters adorn the windows to block the light for weekend lie-ins, so whatever time you fall into bed, you can ensure a truly restful night’s sleep. The epitome of luxury, the family bathroom has a freestanding copper bath with space for two to sit comfortably at either end. There is a separate rainfall shower for when time is of the essence and the principal bedroom has an en suite shower room. Premium toiletries and fresh fluffy towels are provided, as are a hairdryer, an iron and an ironing board, so you only need to pack-light for your stay. Please Note: The wood burning stove seen in the photos is NOT for guest use.
