The grand reception room of Fox Hall in Sussex is described by @LandmarkTrust as ‘undoubtedly Britain’s premier bedsit’. This Palladian hunting lodge is located in the village of Charlton in West Sussex. The Charlton Hunt was a famous and fashionable hunt that was founded in the 1670s by the Duke of Monmouth and was continued after his death by his son-in-law the Duke of Bolton and then by the Duke of Richmond. The noblemen clubbed together to build a dining-room for themselves, which they christened ‘Fox Hall,' designed by Lord Burlington. Apparently this was where ‘these votaries of Diana feasted after the chase and recounted the feats of the day.' The brick box features a small hall, bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor, with stairs leading put to a grand room with a gilded alcove, originally for the Duke of Richmond’s bed. In the pediment over the fireplace an indicator shows the direction of the wind, important information for the fox hunter. One of the most characterful Landmark Trust properties, it’s a perfect place to stay in West Sussex, particularly for those visiting Chichester and the nearby Goodwood races.
