27 PETWORTH ROAD It is quite unusual to have such a fine character home come to the market within a short walk of the High Street and National Trust commons. Over recent months the current vendors have carried out an extensive renovation to create a wonderfully presented period home that offers a delightful blend of contemporary and character accommodation with external elevations of brick, stone and colourwashed render, all under a refurbished slate roof.
