PETWORTH REMOVALS

Petworth is a small, charming but busy town in the Chichester District of West Sussex, another of the south UK’s towns which sits within heart of the beautiful South Downs National Park.

The town is both a popular tourist destination and the perfect place to call home.

Not only is the town picturesque but it is also incredibly safe with practically no crime at all.

Furthermore, its proximity to London and the coast means you can be on the beach or in the Capital in no time at all.

The closest major cities are London, Guildford, Portsmouth, and Southampton.

Petworth was named as the ‘Best Place to Live’ in the Southeast as ranked by the Sunday Times in 2019. This was based on its property costs, employment, schools, culture, community spirit and the provision of local shops.
The town centre is packed with unusual shops and more than a few antique stores.

In fact, Petworth has also been voted as the “Antiques Centre of the South” selling everything from vintage jewellery for a few pounds to bronze sculptures for over £90,000, one of the many reasons why so many people visit.

Residents have a good assortment of local attractions such as Petworth House, lots of old traditional pubs and restaurants and there are also several art galleries too.

When you fancy a weekend away, London is just over 50 miles by road and an hour and a half by train. Alternatively, Heathrow and Gatwick can be reached within an hour by road, so a cheeky European trip is easy.

The community spirit is very evident and Petworth Festival, a summer jamboree of international-class classical music brings everyone together socially. Whilst there are lots of clubs and societies to join when you first arrive.

Wherever you are on the property ladder there will be something to suit your requirements from retirement properties through to country mansions.

According to Rightmove, terraced properties sell for an average of £439,206, with semi-detached properties fetching £412,312. However, the average cost of a home over the past year stands at £611,121.

If you can afford the high prices, Petworth will provide all you need to enjoy life close to rural landscapes and within reach of some major cities in Southern England.
