Description

An exceptional equestrian lifestyle property offering a substantial family home, impressive equestrian facilities and approximately five acres of beautiful Sussex countryside. Ideally positioned in a sought-after semi-rural setting between the popular villages of Cowfold and Bolney, the property combines privacy, space and rural tranquillity with excellent access to nearby towns and commuter routes.

Approached through secure electric gates, the driveway leads to a spacious and beautifully presented family home. At the heart of the property is a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, complemented by generous reception space and well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring its own en-suite, dressing room and private balcony overlooking the surrounding grounds.

Outside, the property really comes into its own. The gardens provide an attractive setting for the house, with extensive driveway parking and a range of versatile outbuildings. These include a substantial timber building with a shower room and a detached home office/studio, offering excellent flexibility for working from home, hobbies or potential ancillary accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

For those seeking an equestrian lifestyle, the approximately five-acre grounds incorporate eight brick-built stables together with extensive equestrian facilities, providing an exceptional opportunity for horse owners, riders or those simply looking for a property with space and versatility rarely found so close to excellent commuter connections.

The property enjoys an enviable position within easy reach of Bolney village, which offers a well-regarded primary school, village hall, traditional country pub and a selection of local amenities. The highly regarded Bolney Wine Estate is also close by, providing an attractive destination for dining, wine tasting and leisure.

For more extensive shopping, schooling and everyday amenities, the larger centres of Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and Horsham are all within convenient driving distance. The location is particularly well suited to commuters, with the A23/M23 corridor providing swift connections towards Gatwick Airport, London and Brighton. Haywards Heath mainline station is approximately 15 minutes away by car, offering regular services to London Bridge and London Victoria.

Surrounded by beautiful Sussex countryside, the immediate area provides an abundance of walking routes and bridleways, making this a wonderful setting for families, equestrian enthusiasts, dog walkers and anyone looking to embrace a more relaxed rural lifestyle without sacrificing accessibility.

A rare combination of substantial family accommodation, outstanding equestrian facilities and approximately five acres of private grounds, this is a property that offers far more than simply a home — it provides a genuine Sussex country lifestyle.
