The large floor to ceiling (and half way up the roof!) windows flood the space with north light. The table seats 8 comfortably and there is a turntable and sound system so you can even bring your own Lp's.

LocationPerfectly located in the historic market town of Petworth. Walk out to explore the design/antique shops, cafés, and the National Trust Petworth House and Park. The Penthouse is situated within the South Downs National Park, only 20 minute drive from Goodwood where you can book tickets for racing, and 30 minutes from the coast at Climping, or 45 minutes to The Witterings, Itchenor or Bosham. There's so much to do here, walking or cycling up on the South Downs Way at Bignor, visiting Parham House and Gardens, or Arundel Castle or Cowdray Ruins and Walled Garden just outside Midhurst. For art lovers there are plenty of galleries to visit, with all the Turner's and more to see at Petworth House and just over the Downs Pallant House Gallery and Chichester Festival Theatre or Glyndebourne Opera a little further afield. There's nothing better than relaxing on a summer evening watching Cowdray Park Polo at Ambersham. Just ask us for advice of what's on where during your stay.!
