Occupying the top two floors of this former Victorian photographer's studio is a light-filled, contemporary space that's perfect for anyone looking to explore the South Downs. From here, you can enjoy all the benefits of easy access to everything you need, with the tranquillity of a rural setting. Your hosts have designed the entire apartment with the needs of their guests in mind. The three individually decorated, stylish bedrooms offer luxurious accommodation for up to six people on the first floor. Plus, there's a sofa bed in the studio for an additional two guests. The top floor is more vibrant, with bold colours and eye-catching design, including what we would usually call floor-to-ceiling windows, except these ones take over half of the roof as well. The kitchen is equipped with everything the savvy chef might need to rustle up delicious group dinners. Step onto the streets of the historic market town of Petworth, and you'll find antique shops, cafes and the National Trust Petworth House and Park. Slightly further afield, you're a mere twenty minutes from glorious Goodwood – famous for its historic racetrack and Festival of Speed – and half an hour from the coast at Climping. There are... so many events locally that it's well worth a bit of research before you arrive.

About The South Downs
It’s fair to say people come to the South Downs for the views. Extending for around 260 square miles across East Sussex, West Sussex and Hampshire, they’re a range of chalky hills widely considered to be one of England’s most attractive landscapes. Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1966, it’s since been awarded National Park status. Stretching from Winchester to Eastbourne, there are charming English towns and villages...

Host
This home is managed by Lucy
This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Lucy and Richard love the local area and live just a couple of miles away, so they're on hand for whatever you might need. They're keen walkers, gardeners and cooks, and yet they somehow find time to walk their fox red lab, Lucca, and maintain a classic Austin 7 that can occasionally be spotted around town.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
