DESCRIPTION
The Running Horse is a captivating Grade II listed townhouse in the heart of Petworth, rich in history and character. Its name reflects the property’s past, having once been one of the town’s traditional “beer houses.” Believed to date from the 17th Century, the house boasts charming external elevations, including timber framing with lime-washed plaster panels and a distinctive cat-slide roof. Having been impeccably maintained by the owners, the accommodation offers flexible, light-filled living over three floors plus an attic room, blending period charm with practicality. Original features such as exposed timbers, fireplaces, wooden floors and doors, and a beautiful wooden staircase add to the home’s character and warmth.

On the ground floor, an entrance lobby opens into a spacious dining room with stone flooring, underfloor heating and an original inglenook fireplace, creating a welcoming heart to the home. This flows seamlessly into the kitchen, with a generous range of units, storage cupboard, and a door leading to the garden. Adjacent to the dining room, a storage room leads to a tastefully designed and carefully arranged shower room. An original wooden staircase rises to the first floor, where the sitting room (currently used as a bedroom) features oak flooring and a lovely fireplace with a wood-burning stove, complemented by a walk-in wardrobe. Steps from the sitting room lead up to a well-conceived and elegantly arranged bathroom and the second bedroom (currently used as an office). The staircase continues to the second floor, where two further bedrooms and a cloakroom provide flexible accommodation, and a final staircase leads to the attic room, currently serving as an additional bedroom.

Outside, the property is approached via a path from the shared parking area, which passes neighbouring houses to a wooden gate opening into a small front garden. A gated path provides access to North Street. At the rear, a charming south-facing garden offers a combination of paving, a brick path, an ornamental pond, mature planting, shrubs, and two garden sheds. A gravelled area with raised beds lies to one side, offering further potential for gardening. The shared parking area accommodates two cars.
