A delightful cottage on the edge of the South Downs National Park with easy access to Petworth Arundel and the Sussex coast. Churchfield Stables is one of two holiday cottages set on a small working farm surrounded by wonderful countryside and within walking distance of a charming Sussex village. Converted from farm stables the cottage has been restored to a high standard with all the comfort you would expect from a holiday home. This newly renovated cottage is set over two floors with the ground floor having an open plan living area. There is a comfortable lounge with a large screen television with Freeview channels and WiFi available. There is a dining table for two; a perfect spot for a cost evening meal. The stylish bedroom is on the first floor and has a kingsize bed with stunning uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. The glass front balcony over the living area and the windows bring a wonderful feeling of space and light in this room. Outside is a sunny outside courtyard area with seating available where you can enjoy a morning coffee and watch the comings and goings of the horses in the yard.
Churchfield Stables is in the charming village of West Chiltington which lies in the lea of the South Downs. This sprawling village has a 12th century church a quiet charm and like many Sussex villages provides a tranquil retreat from the pressures of modern living. All this and only 50 miles south of London. The village stocks and whipping post are preserved outside the church and are believed to have been constructed in the mid 17th century. A small very interesting museum stands behind the church. West Chiltington is a village full of charming cottages winding lanes and friendly shops and pubs. It is this unique charm that makes the village so special. The attractive church of St Mary is un-restored and has a spire covered with oak shingles and a roof of Horsham Stone. Ancient paintings dating from the 12th, 13th and 14th century can be clearly seen on the walls inside the building. The South Downs National Park is 3 miles from the village, West Chiltington being approximately half way along its entire length and not too far from Chanctonbury Ring.
