✨ A U T U M N A T T H E G O G S ✨ Once the gateway to the Petworth estate, these two 18th century gatehouses by Matthew Brettingham sit side by side on a gentle hill, wrapped in ancient woodland and reached by a private woodland road.

In Magog, a log burner glows, a spiral stair leads up to a balcony bedroom, and a roll top bath waits for slow autumn evenings. By day, wander through Petworth Park among the deer, or stroll into town for antiques and lunch.
