West Sussex farm in the new National Park
This farmhouse comes with former cart sheds, cottage gardens and a paddock with stable block, all in the South Downs National Park
Northwood farm encompasses a 14th century Grade II listed farmhouse, an 18th century ironstone barn and a former cartsheds, all centered around a courtyard with a central lawn.
The farmhouse started life as an old Hall House and it is evident that many features from past periods in the property remain. The reception hall has flagstone flooring and there is an old inglenook fireplace in the kitchen, as well as the remains of an old bread oven. Behind here are the drawing room and the beamed dining room.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, and there is also a family bathroom.

The barn is situated adjacent to the farmhouse and has a mezzanine floor which is currently used for storage. The barn is offered with planning permission and the pretty cottage gardens are filled with seasonal flowers and shrubs. In one corner is an old well; a herb garden is surrounded by walls. Beyond, a paddock surrounds the gardens and there are old stable buildings.
Northwood farm is situated between Petworth and the village of Graffham, in the recently formed South Downs National Park. The village caters for immediate requirements and Petworth and Midhurst are nearby for further amenities.
