The Cottage
Fantastic space with a vaulted living room, masses of natural light The Cottage is a spectacular conversion of an old stable and the finish grabs your attention as soon as you enter. It is situated on the edge of West Burton village and offers uninterrupted views over a wide panorama spanning from the north east round towards the South Downs and Bury Hill to the south. The Cottage is single storey and cleverly arranged with the living space separating the spacious kitchen at one end from two bright bedrooms and bathrooms at the other. The living space is filled with natural light, two large patio doors look west and open out onto a patio area equipped with barbecue so a great space to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. A wonderful vaulted ceiling just adds to the impression of space and a wood burner makes a nice focus on winter evenings. The main bedroom has a kingsize bed and an en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom has both a double and a single bed allowing for added flexibility. The family bathroom has a bath with shower attachment. Both bedrooms have a patio door that opens on to a patio, beyond that the open countryside and the South Downs.
West Burton is one of four very picturesque villages that sit below the scarp slope of the South Downs close to Bury Hill. Bury is a mile to the east while Bignor and Sutton are both within 2 miles to the west. There are two fine local pubs to be found both offer local ales and good hospitality. The Cottage has immediate access onto many local paths and West Burton is certainly well placed for enjoying the South Downs. A footpath climbs up from the village, however if you are feeling less energetic there is a car park at Whiteways by Bury Hill or you can take the lane to the Downs from Bignor and park at the top beside the South Downs Way. This is where Stane Street the Roman road crosses the South Downs en-route towards Eartham and Chichester giving a choice of good walking in that direction or east or west along the line of the Downs. The village of Bignor is closely linked to the Romans. Here you will find the Roman villa a home and farm with world class mosaic floors that was a significant settlement in the third century AD. The historic market town of Petworth is 4 miles to the north and is best known as the location of the stately home Petworth House and deer park which was landscaped by Capability Brown. The house and its grounds are now owned and maintained by the National Trust. The magnificent country house contains an internationally renowned art collection with numerous works by Turner. The town is full of quaint houses and cottages many within their own courtyard settings. They are interspersed with antique shops and tearooms so it is worth taking the time to browse having visited Petworth.
