Situation Foxbury occupies an enviable position on the edge of the sought-after hamlet of West Burton in the heart of the South Downs National Park. West Burton is one of a clutch of villages which are quietly tucked away in the middle of the Downs between Pulborough and Petworth. All offer good amenities and have strong communities, with the nearby village of Bury providing most things needed for day-to-day living including a primary school, prep school, public house/ restaurant, church and a village hall/post office. A wider range of shopping facilities is available in the nearby market towns of Petworth and Arundel, and the cathedral city of Chichester, where you can also find The Festival Theatre for the arts. Leisure pursuits in the area include several golf courses, polo at Cowdray, horse racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, and sailing from many centres along the south coast. Located in the south west corner of the hamlet, a bridleway runs past Foxbury which in turn connects to the South Downs Way and the network of footpaths and bridleways through the Downs. Communication links are excellent, with the A29, A24 and A285 providing access to the M25 and beyond to the national motorway network, Heathrow and Gatwick airports and the south coast. Notable schools in the area include Seaford College at Duncton, Christ’s Hospital and Farlington Girls’ School near Horsham, Washington House at Pulborough, Dorset House Boys School at Bury and Westbourne House and Prebendal at Chichester.

Through the left gate are the equestrian facilities, including the stable yard, horse walker and starvation paddocks, while through the right gate is the gravelled driveway sweeping to the front of the house. This driveway continues past the house to the barn and provides parking for numerous cars. To the east of the property is Foxbury Barn with excellent parking and further ancillary accommodation above, while to the south of the property are the formal gardens with some wonderful mature specimen trees, including a beautiful old willow. The remainder of the land is to the north of the property, falling away from the main house into a valley, allowing you to see much of what you own from the kitchen window.
