Pulborough is nestled into the South Downs National Park just 5 miles from Petworth; 17 miles from Chichester and 9 miles from the historic town of Arundel in West Sussex. The coast is just 20-minutes away by car where you’ll find sandy beaches at Climping and Littlehampton, or the Rive Arun runs closer to home for fishing, canoeing and paddle boarding. Within Pulborough itself there are some beautiful woodland and countryside walks which are signposted just a short walk from the house. For lovers of fine wine, look no further than Nyetimber or Nutbourne vineyards where you can enjoy tours and tastings. Pair your wine with tender cuts of local meat or cheeses from Charlie’s Farm Shop in Fittleworth, all to be enjoyed at home for garden lunches or evening suppers. Both Amberley Castle and Arundel Castle are open year-round for visitors and sit within a short drive of the house. Petworth House & Gardens or the Weald & Downland Living Museum at Singleton offer an equally beautiful and historic experience for all ages – all fewer than 10-miles away. It is fairly essential to have a car in Pulborough as it is slightly tucked away from the main roads and stations. The nearest stations are in Pulborough and Arundel where you can call a local taxi to take you to the house. Castle Cars can also arrange to collect or take you to a nearby airport by prior arrangement. Nest Cottage is a semi-detached property set within the beautiful grounds of the owner's estate, grounds which become an extension of your property while offering picture-perfect views from every room. Inside, each space has been carefully curated with beautiful artworks, antiques and artefacts collected over many years which create a home full of character and style which impresses from the moment you step through the door. Go exploring on several local walks, mapped out by the owner, taking you through ancient woodland, along river paths or seeking out a country pub. Nip into the village of Pulborough or the county towns of Petworth and Arundel which host an array of historic pubs, shops and attractions, or take in a vineyard tour and tasting at the award-winning Nutbourne and Nyetimber Estates. Maybe, as many previous guests experienced; once you are here, you’ll not want to venture too far. The peace and luxury of your surroundings will allow you to fully recharge – you won’t want to leave. You’ll pass through some of the most exquisite countryside as you drive through the South Downs National Park from either London or the South Coast. Winding roads flanked by lush hedgerows and mature trees guide you to where this house sits signposted up a private drive where there is parking for two cars beneath giant pines looking West across to the South Downs. From here, fairy lights guide your way down a footpath to the private garden and entrance to the property, and an elegant luggage wagon can assist with your suitcases. While semi-detached, Nest Cottage feels completely independent and private within its own yew-encircled garden with an ornamental fish pond and fountain, so you can sit in blissful harmony, uninterrupted but for the tinkling of water
