Pretty Riverside Cottage, Petworth Two Bedrooms, Sleeps 3. Dogs Welcome

Cherry Tree Cottage — A Stylish Riverside Escape with Historic Charm

Just south of Petworth, this restored Victorian station house—once home to the station staff - blends historic charm with modern comfort. Relax in the cosy interior or unwind in the riverside garden. Enjoy sunny moments on the deck or shaded peace under the wisteria-covered gazebo. As evening falls, fire up the Egg BBQ for al fresco dining and listen to the gentle sounds of the river and local wildlife.

Cherry Tree Cottage is a beautifully styled two-bedroom, semi-detached retreat nestled in a semi-rural location just south of Petworth. Blending traditional charm with modern comforts, this thoughtfully designed home offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere all year round.

Inside, the cosy sitting room invites you to hunker down beside the wood-burning stove during winter months — a perfect spot for reading, chatting, or simply unwinding. The adjoining kitchen is both charming and practical, featuring a user-friendly Mini Aga, air fryer, microwave, and all the essentials: fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer, and coffee machine. The dining table seats four comfortably, ideal for lingering breakfasts or intimate dinners.

Furry companions are most welcome — a snug corner has been set aside for dogs, complete with food and water bowls and a blanket, so they can feel just as at home.

The sun-filled conservatory overlooks the garden and is a delightful place to enjoy your morning tea or coffee. On cooler days, light the Scandinavian-style wood burner for a touch of extra cosiness.

Upstairs, you’ll find two inviting bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The master bedroom boasts a king-size bed, while the second bedroom offers a comfortable single — perfect for a friend or child. The bathroom is a sanctuary of its own, with a freestanding bath, a walk-in shower framed by elegant Crittall-style panels, and stylish finishes throughout. A second WC is located downstairs for added convenience.

Outdoor Living

Step outside into the private garden — a haven of calm with multiple seating areas. Relax on the riverside deck as birds flutter by and local wildlife pays a visit; the resident swan is often seen gliding along the water. Under the canopy of the wisteria-covered gazebo, the Egg BBQ stands ready for al fresco feasts. As the evening draws in, light the fire pit, switch on the outdoor lights, and wrap yourself in a blanket for a magical evening under the stars. Outdoor cushions, rugs, and a parasol are all stored in the large rattan chest for your comfort.

Local Gems and Day Trips

Just a short stroll from the cottage is The Badgers Pub, a welcoming spot for hearty lunches or relaxed evening meals. A few minutes’ drive up the road brings you to Heath End Stores, a small but well-stocked shop offering everything from fresh bread and milk to local wine, beer, and a handy range of Cook frozen meals.

With easy access to the A285, the cottage is perfectly located for events at Goodwood — whether it’s motor racing, the Festival of Speed, Revival, or horse racing. Cowdray Park and its famed polo tournaments are just 10 minutes away in Midhurst, home also to the excellent Cowdray Farm Shop and Café, known for its artisan produce and delicious breakfasts and lunches.

The charming market town of Petworth is just five minutes away, offering antique shops, galleries, and the deer park of Petworth House. For nature lovers, the South Downs offer miles of walking trails, and the south coast is within reach in around 40 minutes (traffic permitting).

Nearby cultural and historical highlights include the Weald & Downland Living Museum — filming location for The Repair Shop — and West Dean Gardens and College, both within a 15–20 minute drive.

A Touch of Local History

Cherry Tree Cottage sits opposite the original Petworth Station, now a characterful restaurant and bed & breakfast where breakfast and afternoon teas are served on the old platform. Just beyond lies the old grain store, a nod to the area’s past as a bustling railway hub. Further afield, the old maintenance yards now house light offices and storage units — a gentle evolution of this historically rich corner of Sussex.
