The ancient medieval market town of Petworth is dominated by Petworth House with its 750 acres of parkland, landscaped by Capability Brown, and lies just north of the South Downs, set in an area known as the Golden Triangle. The town's winding lanes and quaint old building give the impression that time has stood still, yet nothing could be further from the truth, as Petworth, whilst maintaining all the charm of the past, is a thriving town. It is renowned for its attractive period properties, of which you will find plenty advertised by the Petworth estate agents; including Victorian cottages, Grade II listed properties and cottages dating back to the 1700's. As well as older properties, there are also modern Georgian style houses, bungalows, barn conversions and detached country houses in rural locations. Petworth is the type of town where the houses have names rather than numbers which, together with its cobbled streets, gives it a genteel atmosphere.
