The kitchen is ready for you to make your own breakfast/brunch/supper with equipment for 8 guests, with teas, coffee and milk provided and a range of sizes of cafeterias to make decent coffee. Or just step outside and hop into one of the coffee shops in the town. Guest access Access to the property is through it’s own ground floor door off a small private garden courtyard which leads from a larger shared use courtyard through gates off the corner of Park Road - which is the main one way system around the town. This is "Hidden Petworth"! The apartment is on the first and second floors of a listed three storey building. As you arrive there is an immediate flight of steep stairs up to the landing followed by a very steep narrow staircase up to the top studio. So not suitable if you have mobility issues. The ground floor of the building is an art gallery with a separate entrance on Lombard Street and we are also happy for you to arrive this way when you check in. Other things to note The entire apartment has been refurbished to a high standard and is only used for lettings. We are happy to welcome you and guide you in. The apartment is self contained with it's own key safe self check in if preferred. We are helped by our wonderful housekeeper Amy! Our Egyptian cotton hypo-allergenic laundry is all professionally laundered. We live 2 miles away so can easily help you if you need us to! Eg suggesting places to buy food or to help you arrange for food deliveries to be made direct to you or giving you ideas as to where to eat out. Petworth is a small and peaceful town if you need to stay for a while. It’s worth exploring the spectacular Petworth Park, 2 minutes walk from the Penthouse. There is so much to do here- walk, cycle, visit art galleries, shop, eat, read, relax or head further away watch polo, visit Goodwood - we can help with any of your plans!
