5 Bedroom Equestrian Facility

A rare opportunity to acquire a fully equipped farm with strong income potential, featuring multiple residences, excellent equestrian facilities, a swimming pool, tennis court, and about 97.89 acres (39.61 hectares) of land - all set in a prime location with stunning views of the South Downs and Chanctonbury Ring.

DESCRIPTION
Coming to the market for the first time in over 30 years this farm is in a sought after location west of Ashurst and enjoys fine views of the South Downs including Chanctonbury Ring. The farm, very usefully, can be accessed from either the east or west entrances

FARMHOUSE
An impressive residence built with traditional materials providing spacious accommodation including three main reception rooms, a farmhouse kitchen with Aga, study and six bedrooms arranged over three floors.

THE HOVEL
A delightful, detached hovel has been converted and extended to provide three bedroom living accommodation with considerable character. It lies privately away from the rest of the buildings and can be approached via its own drive after a short drive from the western entrance. It also enjoys landscaped gardens and pond.

GATE COTTAGE
Opposite the orchard and near the main farmhouse this provides open plan accommodation with kitchenette, log burner, a separate bathroom and mezzanine.

EQUESTRIAN
There is easy access to riding via a bridleway on the western boundary. Facilities include an American barn (with twelve internal boxes, tack room and solarium). Large indoor riding school with adjoining lean-to for hay storage. Brick built 6-box stable with photovoltaic and solar thermal panels on the tiled roof. Further stabling currently provided via a large timber clad pole barn divided into stalls. Small pole barn and lunging ring.

STABLE FLAT
Adjacent to the indoor riding school is a substantial timber-framed building housing a well-equipped two-bedroom first floor flat and three very large foaling boxes beneath. This has the potential to provide more significant accommodation - STPP.

LAKE HOUSE AND LAKE
