Show more "Orchard Close is based in the small rural town of Petworth, benefitting from views of the surrounding countryside. On offer are a range of 30 one bed apartments, with shared facilities for residents including gardens and a guest room for visiting friends and family.

You won’t have to worry about buildings and grounds maintenance or repairs as an on-site manager looks after these points, as well as helping you to access further help and support if you need it.

The regular lunch clubs give an opportunity to socialise with other residents, should you wish to do so. A selection of shops is available on the high street and good public transport connects to the nearby towns of Midhurst, Chichester, Petersfield and Guildford." Show less
