Situation
The property is nestled in the South Downs National Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The house is set in an elevated position on the outskirts of this delightful village, well away from major roads. The village of Bignor has a 14th Century church and is also well known for its Roman Villa. The towns of Petworth, Arundel and Pulborough lie within approximately 6 to 7 miles, the latter having a main line railway station with regular services to London Victoria. Both towns offer a wide and varied range of shopping and recreational facilities. Sporting facilities in the area include golf at Pulborough, Goodwood and Cowdray, polo at Cowdray and sailing on Chichester Harbour.

Outside
The cottage is set back from the lane with an elevated view of the gardens looking across to the lake, stream and woodland. A terrace leads around the property providing a wonderful entertaining area with an array of well stocked raised beds and borders. A weaving pathway (which can be used for vehicular access) leads through the gardens and woodland to the paddocks where there is hard standing for several timber framed outbuildings. The paddocks enjoy wonderful views of the South Downs with footpaths and bridleways to explore the surrounding countryside.A second driveway leads to a detached stone built outbuilding used as a double garage with bedroom and shower room above. The property is steeped in history and has been the subject of a sketch by by Constable in the days of the working mill.
