The market town of Arundel is home to some pretty impressive sights – a grand cathedral, a magnificent castle, and plenty of other historic listed buildings. Among them is Number 42, a terraced townhouse that’s now a holiday home. Astonishingly, it was designed by the same architect as the cathedral, which stands in full view of its leaded windows, and is within walking distance of virtually everything Arundel has to offer: heritage, culture, restaurants, bars and boutiques. In addition to all that, Arundel station is just a mile away, offering a 90-minute rail connection to London – making car-free weekends here an appealing possibility.

Sleeping up to eight in four bedrooms, this stylish three-storey property feels like rather a grown-up getaway. The dining room and the wine fridge in the small but well-equipped kitchen add to that vibe, as does the decor. Its whites, greys and stone throughout tie in with retained heritage features like the fireplaces and stone-silled windows you find throughout the property. There’s a small, walled courtyard garden too, adding valuable outside space.

As you ascend to the second and third floors, tiles give way to carpets and a cosier feel. There are two bedrooms on each of the upper storeys, two of which have views towards the cathedral. One, the master on the first floor, has an en-suite shower room too. Although the proportions of the rooms are what you'd expect from a terraced townhouse, they feel light and airy, and three of the bedrooms fit a king-size bed, while the other has a double. All have handy built-in storage.

This elegant house was designed by Joseph Hansom in the 1800s, like the nearby cathedral. A visit to that is not something you’ll want to miss and it’s a very short walk away. It’s not much further to Arundel Castle and its lovely gardens and the River Arun which stretches into Swanbourne Lake and wildlife-rich wetlands where you can take a boat trip. The town has plenty of places to eat, drink and shop as well, all just a couple of minutes’ walk from the front door. And if, somehow, all that isn't enough to keep you occupied, Arundel stands on the southern edge of the South Downs National Park and just six miles from the sea.

The Owner Says

This holiday home is absolutely phenomenal. The home was originally designed by Joseph Hansom who designed the Arundel Cathedral and mirrored his style in these three exquisite townhomes. From the back side of the property, the windows look up towards the grand cathedral on the top of the hill, and at night, the Cathedral is illuminated for guests to see!
