Seller Insight

I have a predilection for a more natural setting and Burton Park is perfect in that respect. The background of the park is complemented by a line of trees, hills and vast wide skies in the distance, and so it was the charm and ambience of the mews, as well as the delightful setting of the park that first attracted me. Number 6 Biddulph Mews is a lovely home with a feeling of privacy in a most interesting area,” says the current owner.

“This is an area that is populated by many interesting events, as well as natural beauty. Along with an abundance of walks, there are several high quality pubs as well as a farm shop within walking distance, along with a wide choice of historical and cultural events to enjoy. The area is dotted with venues for social activities, including music festivals throughout the year and productions at the world famous Chichester Festival Theatre. Champs Hill is an absorbing venue for classical music for established performers and up and coming artists too, and there is a most friendly and accommodating Cathedral at Chichester. All this within a few miles of the doorstep and if one is not careful, there can be too much to do! In saying that though, one can live a quiet and private life if that is preferred, as the surroundings are very calm and tranquil.”

“Burton Park can be enjoyed in many different ways, including walking, relaxing and entertaining. The formal gardens are delightful, as are the surrounding fields and walkways where wildflowers are abundant and horses and sheep graze in the fields. French doors lead out to the mews square and it is very private - the ideal spot to sit with a book, listen to the birds and even doze in the peace and quiet. It is also perfect for entertaining and relaxing with a glass of wine with friends.”

“I’d like to summarise by saying that this is a lovely home in a delightful setting. We all know that some paradises may be lost, but Burton Park is one where something has been regained.”

“It’s hard to choose just one favourite room but the atrium is a beautiful place to enjoy at any time of day as it is always light and bright. I also delight in gazing up at the moon and the stars in the night sky.”

“It’s a very tranquil and relaxing place to be and just being here is a reward in itself.”

“Each room has its own unique ambience and the space flows perfectly making it ideal for entertaining.”

“This is a community where the residents are very respectful of each other and their privacy, yet there are opportunities to enjoy time together if one wishes that.”*
