PROPERTY The Orchard is well positioned in an elevated rural location with lovely views to the south and west looking towards the South Downs. The house has been renovated throughout providing a versatile home with a lovely light interior and well proportioned rooms.

LOCATION The Orchard is privately positioned off a narrow country lane between the villages of South Harting and Rogate, both thriving communities located between Petersfield and Midhurst in the heart of The South Downs National Park. Rogate and the nearby village of South Harting both have pubs, shops, post offices, primary schools, and many clubs and societies. Petersfield and its comprehensive range of facilities including Waitrose and a mainline station with train services to London Waterloo in around an hour is within 6 miles. There are an excellent range of schools in the region including Bedales/Dunhurst, Churcher's College, Ditcham Park, Highfield/Brookham, Bohunt and TPS.



The A272 at Rogate connects to the A3 which provides good regional transport links to London and the South Coast or the larger regional centres of Winchester and Guildford. Chichester is a comfortable drive over the Downs and beyond are the harbours, beaches and creeks of the South Coast. There are a good number of footpaths and bridleways in the surrounding area including The South Downs Way and The Sussex Border Path. The Goodwood and Cowdray Estates are within easy reach with their wonderful choices of sporting events.

OUTSIDE The property is approached via a sweeping drive which is shared with a neighbour for a short section then swings up a private gravel drive to a large turning and parking area in front of the house and barn style open fronted double garage with attic storage above.
