Northfields House, Chichester, Sussex

Northfields House is an exceptionally fine country home set in its own grounds of just under five acres. There are few houses which provide such spacious accommodation with large rooms, splendid stone fireplaces, oak floors and other period features while at the same time retaining the warm cosy feeling of a family country home.

The house is available for self-catering although, if required, we are able to offer a fully catered service (please ask for menu) with an excellent chef and staff. We also specialise in helping to organise corporate events and aim to provide a mixture of professionalism and informality, which blends well with the relaxed and comfortable surroundings of Northfields House.

The grounds consist of well tended lawns (croquet mallets included), mown paths through the natural wooded area and some magnificent mature trees. There are two grass tennis courts, two BBQ/terrace areas with seating for twelve each, an outdoor heated pool, table tennis and a squash court attached to the house with a viewing gallery from the upstairs landing.

Northfields House has been in the same family for over half a century and the house and gardens are a reflection of the family’s sympathetic conservation of an original Edwardian Country House.

There are fourteen bedrooms, which sleep up to twenty eight guests. All the principal rooms face south and overlook some magnificent mature trees and a garden which has been extensively landscaped. The house is extremely well kitted out in every respect down to the smallest detail. It is very easy to turn up and immediately feel as though you are at home.

Sporting and leisure activities in the area include several golf courses, two at nearby Goodwood, plus a driving range at Chichester golf centre, horse racing at Goodwood and Fontwell Park, sailing at Chichester Harbour and wonderful walking and riding on the South Downs. Riding lessons available locally.
