Springhead
Enjoying a peaceful and quiet, rural location, Springhead is a large, Grade II listed detached property that’s able to accommodate up to eight guests and is dog friendly too. Located in the civil parish of Parham, the property was previously part of an Elizabethan house and estate, Parham Park, and part of the house is reputed to be medieval. The Monastery of Westminster originally owned the estate, and in 1540 King Henry VIII bestowed it upon Robert Palmer. Today the manor house and 875-acre gardens at Parham is open to the public to visit and contains an important collection of needlework, paintings and furniture.
Springhead provides spacious country house accommodation for friends and families throughout the year and has its own outdoor swimming pool and sauna. It offers a spacious twin bedroom on the ground floor with an en-suite shower and toilet, ideal for less mobile guests. This superb property is surrounded by beautiful countryside and farmland, and directly across from the property you will be able to see the pigs out in their field, whilst from the rear of the house you will be able to see the sheep grazing in the fields behind. During the summer months, enjoy the spacious garden with its ample patio area for a memorable barbecue. In the winter, after a brisk short walk to the local pub, which dates back to the 15th century, you can return to the house and relax by the roaring open fire.
For walking and riding enthusiasts, the location is ideal as you are in the South Downs National Park. Explore the plentiful bridleways and footpaths leading from the doorstep. The nearby village of Storrington offers a good selection of shops catering for most daily needs, including a supermarket, as well as a number of independent traders and gift and antique shops. There are also a number of excellent pubs and restaurants to visit within the locality.
Nearby attractions include Arundel Castle and Goodwood Racecourse and Goodwood Motor Circuit, which are the homes of the infamous Goodwood Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival and Glorious Goodwood. There are also plenty of outdoor activities nearby to keep you entertained, including horse riding, canoeing on the River Arun, gliding at Parham or polo at Cowdray Park. Golf can be found at the West Sussex Golf Club nearby, or why not pack a picnic and take a trip down south to the stunning Sussex coast, which is within easy reach by car. Whether it’s for a short break or a longer stay, there’s plenty to keep you busy in this beautiful part of West Sussex. The nearest mainline station is 4 miles distance at Pulborough, with train services to Victoria/London Bridge and Gatwick Airport. Beach 11 miles. Shop 1¼ miles, pub ¼ mile and restaurant ¾ mile.
