A detached three bedroom farmhouse set in approx. sixteen acres with a fantastic range of barns, stables and equestrian facilities, in a secluded location, surrounded by its own land
The property’s original name Hillside Fruit Farm betrays its origins, although the current owners have owned it for over thirty years and have used it primarily as a base for training racehorses. There is now no evidence of the original fruit farm and the property is ideally suited to equestrian use or hobby farming, smallholding etc.
The property is set down a long private drive, surrounded by its own land and there is ample scope to extend the house if required, subject to the usual planning permissions. There is existing planning permission to convert the garage/store to a residential annexe.
The property is surrounded by stunning rolling countryside, within the South Downs National Park and within less than a mile there is access onto a bridleway which leads to extensive hacking on the South Downs Way.
There are ranges of local shops and amenities in nearby Arundel and Pulborough and a fuller range of facilities in Chichester.
