West Sussex · GU28
Petworth is a jewel of a West Sussex town — narrow streets of listed townhouses, antique shops and period cottages gathered around Petworth House and its park. Its housing is some of the most characterful I decorate.
Decorating in Petworth
Almost the whole of central Petworth is a conservation area, dense with Grade-listed buildings: old plaster, uneven walls, timber framing and fine joinery. This is decorating that demands sympathy and patience — breathable finishes, careful colour, and a hand that respects the age of the place.
In a town as historic as Petworth, the decorating has to defer to the building. I take particular care with listed and period interiors — appropriate materials, careful making good, and a hand finish that suits old plaster and joinery.
