Park Cottage
Kirdford is a pretty, leafy village in the north of West Sussex, just 5 miles from the county border with Surrey. It features the Grade I listed 12th century stone-built church of St John The Baptist, and the village centre has a recreation ground with football pitch and tennis court. To the sides and rear of the cottage there is a wonderfully peaceful garden looking out to the woodland and fields beyond, including a south-facing pation with garden furniture, BBQ & firepit. Outside, to the front is a parking area and a pretty, covered well, plus a car port which houses a table tennis table for a fun games afternoon with the young and young at heart. Basic bats and balls are provided.
It is just a mile from the South Downs National Park, set amongst picturesque countryside and the location is perfect for exploring much of Sussex. For local dining you are spoiled for choice, with a 17th Century pub just a 15-20 minute walk up the road opposite a small children’s play park, and a 15th Century gastropub 5 minutes further on.
With the route of the Wey & Arun Canal close by, the section at Loxwood is just a 10 minute drive. This rural waterway is recognised as a natural heritage asset, as well as providing a haven for wildlife. There are several ongoing restoration projects, and you can now take boat trips on the idyllic Loxwood section of the canal. For a fabulous walking route join the Wey-South Path here, some 36 miles long which links the North Downs Way south of Guildford to the South Downs Way above Amberley. One of the most attractive for walking in the south of England, the canal towpath passes through the lovely woodland and open landscapes of Surrey and West Sussex, including areas of outstanding natural beauty.
The historic market town of Petworth is 5 miles to the south-west, best known as the location of the stately home Petworth House and deer park which was landscaped by Capability Brown, now owned by the National Trust and containing an internationally renowned art collection with numerous works by Turner. The town is full of quaint houses and cottages, interspersed with antique shops and tea rooms so it makes the ideal place for a stroll following a visit to Petworth House and Park.
Fishers Adventure Farm Park is a 10-minute drive, offering year-round entertainment for families with indoor and outdoor play, exciting rides and animal adventures to enjoy. Within ten miles you can also reach National Trust Black Down, Ramster Gardens, Dunsfold Aerodrome, RSPB Pulborough Brooks, Parham House and Knepp Castle. A little further afield you will find traditional houses and gardens including Leonardslee, High Beeches, Borde Hill and Nymans.
For some classically British pastimes, the famous Goodwood Estate near Chichester offers a range of activities including a championship golf course, the motor circuit, racecourse and aerodrome. All offer an exciting calendar of events throughout the year, with the Festival of Speed, the Goodwood Revival and Glorious Goodwood. Beach 21 miles.
