AMENITIESThe cottages occupy a fantastic rural position in the tiny hamlet of Hesworth Common on the edge of the village of Fittleworth.

Fittleworth has a well known public house, The Swan Inn, which is just over a half a mile walk away over Hesworth Common, as well as a primary school, parish church and a post office/cafe/general store. The surrounding South Downs National Park provides miles of footpaths and bridleways for walking and riding enthusiasts including some along the River Rother to the south of the property. To the north west is the small market town of Petworth, just under 3 miles away which has a range of shops, services, pubs, cafes and restaurants which cater for most everyday needs. Mainline railway stations can be found at Pulborough just over 3 miles east, providing services to London (Victoria) and Haslemere about 13 miles to the north offering services to London (Waterloo). Approximately 10 miles to the south is the city of Chichester famous for its Festival Theatre and Cathedral. The Goodwood Estate is also situated a short distance to the south and is renowned for its racecourse and motoring events including the Goodwood Revival and The Festival of Speed.

DESCRIPTIONThe properties are situated in a enviable location within the hamlet of Hesworth Common, set within the South Downs National Park.

Rew Cottage is believed to have been built in the mid 1950’s and is a timber framed and clad Colt House. This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to build a bespoke house within the South Downs National Park, subject to any necessary consents. The plot does benefit from fantastic views through about one hundred and eighty degrees to the south and west over undulating farmland towards the South Downs. Adjacent to Rew Cottage is a pretty courtyard of Grade II listed, period buildings which comprise Hesworth Cottage, which was formerly a pair of cottages, dating back to the 17th Century, constructed of stone and brick beneath a clay tiled roof. At ninety degrees to Hesworth Cottage is a stone built barn, believed to date to 18th Century, with part of the first floor converted to an ancillary flat, and an adjoining single storey building. This was formerly utilized as stables and is currently used as workshops and storage forming the third side of the courtyard.
