West Sussex family house near Petworth

Believed to date back to the 17th century, Riverhill Lodge has been substantially extended over the years, and modernised, and now comprises a well-presented family house in a much-sought after West Sussex location.

Inside, the principal reception rooms include a dining room, a drawing room and a garden room and offer far-reaching views across open fields across the South Downs. Upstairs are four generous-sized bedrooms (three en-suite) and a shower room, while the second floor offers a large store room and an attic, with potential to become a fifth bedroom (subject to planning).
