The house boasts a wealth of period features including working fireplaces, wood panelling and large sash windows and an abundance of well-proportioned reception rooms. Of particular note is the wonderful drawing room which is light and bright with a west-facing aspect, benefiting from large windows and French doors leading directly onto the terrace. The kitchen/breakfast/dining room is also well-proportioned, with tall ceilings and a working fire, as well as an aga; perfect for accommodating a large family or entertaining. Further reception rooms include a south-facing sitting room, billiard/games room, garden room with bi-folding doors onto the rear terrace, and a study.
To the first floor are five bedrooms (excluding the annexe), four of which are en suite, there is a family bathroom and two dressing rooms. The principal bedroom is a substantial space, benefiting from built-in wardrobes, an accessible balcony and large bathroom en suite. Each bedroom is well-proportioned and appointed and enjoys its own attractive vista, particularly those facing the gardens and views beyond.
The annexe is located within the main house, though has its own access via an internal courtyard. It is well-appointed with a kitchen on the ground floor, and the living room, bedroom and bathroom to the first floor.
Gardens and Grounds
A particular highlight to the property, Trofts sits in just over six acres of well-maintained, formal gardens, and paddocks. Upon entering the property, there is a generous stone and brick parking area, with a barn (constructed we believe in 1888) comprising two twin parking bays, a store and disused gardener's WC. The formal gardens immediately to the rear are beautiful, featuring a large flat lawn with an ornately fenced pond with a fountain at its heart, and bounded by a mature border, trees and hedging. The substantial York stone terrace which bounds the western side of the property offers plentiful space for entertaining outdoors during the summer months, and a pergola offers shade with a wisteria draped elegantly across the façade. Surrounding plants and trees here include yew, acer, and camellia. Lying to the south are further formal gardens with a swimming pool, pool house and tennis court (in need of renovation) added under the most recent ownership. At the southern-most end of the property is a small paddock with a block of three stables, and a small half brick and timber building, formerly a chicken shed. Beyond this, is a square grassed area with a pond and access to the large paddock beyond.
Accessible through electric wooden gates, Trofts lies on the edge of the delightful village of Byworth, just to the east of the historic market town of Petworth and within the South Downs National Park. Byworth village is home to two public houses, The Black Horse and The Well Diggers Arms.
