Description

Primrose Cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a charming detached home with excellent equestrian facilities, set within approximately 2.95 acres in a wonderfully secluded position along a private semi-rural lane.

For equestrian enthusiasts, the property's outstanding attraction is undoubtedly its exceptional hacking. With direct access from the property to the beach in approximately 10 minutes, without the need for a horsebox or trailer, owners can enjoy the remarkable experience of riding along the beautiful West Sussex coastline, with no seasonal restrictions on beach riding as advised by the current owners. The surrounding countryside also offers access to a network of riding routes, including the nearby Medmerry nature reserve and cross-country facilities.

Opportunities to combine private equestrian facilities with such convenient access to coastal riding are increasingly difficult to find, making Primrose Cottage particularly appealing to those seeking a genuine equestrian lifestyle.

The house itself offers comfortable and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, with considerable scope for a purchaser to make it their own.

The Property

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hallway, with useful storage for coats and boots, particularly practical for country and equestrian living.

The principal reception room is generously proportioned, with a wood-burning stove providing an attractive focal point and windows overlooking the secluded driveway. The fitted kitchen benefits from integrated appliances and direct access to the rear garden.

A ground-floor bedroom provides flexibility for guests, family members or alternative uses, while the first floor offers two further double bedrooms and a family shower room.

The accommodation is well suited to those looking for a manageable country home where the emphasis is as much on the exceptional outdoor lifestyle as the house itself.

Equestrian Facilities and Grounds

The equestrian facilities are a particular feature of Primrose Cottage, offering an excellent opportunity for private horse owners looking to keep their horses at home.

The property extends to approximately 2.95 acres and benefits from two separate access points, including a rear entrance suitable for horseboxes and trailers, allowing practical access to the equestrian facilities independently of the main residential entrance.

The facilities include:

  • Six stables providing accommodation for multiple horses or ponies

  • Approximately 2.95 acres of grounds, providing space for horses and outdoor activities.

  • Separate horsebox and trailer access.

  • Generous parking for five or more vehicles.

  • An additional outbuilding extending to approximately 244 sq ft, currently used as a home office, with a nearby external WC.

A further unusual feature is the substantial polytunnel, measuring approximately 16m x 28.5m. This offers considerable versatility, whether for horticultural pursuits, growing produce or other suitable ancillary uses, subject to any necessary consents.

The combination of stabling, land, practical access and supporting outbuildings makes Primrose Cottage an attractive proposition for purchasers wishing to establish their own private equestrian setup.

Hacking and Equestrian Lifestyle

The outstanding feature of Primrose Cottage is the opportunity to enjoy direct coastal hacking from your own stables.

Located approximately half a mile from the beach, the property enjoys access to some of the most attractive coastal scenery in West Sussex. The ability to ride directly from home and reach the beach in approximately 10 minutes is a significant advantage, offering an enviable lifestyle for recreational riders and committed equestrians alike.

The nearby Medmerry coastal landscape provides a beautiful natural setting, with extensive open countryside, coastal views and opportunities to explore the surrounding area on horseback along designated routes.

For those competing or training, the property is also conveniently positioned for a number of established equestrian venues, including Coombelands Equestrian, Hickstead and Parwood Equestrian Centre. The wider South Downs National Park provides further opportunities for riding and exploring the countryside.

Whether enjoying an early morning ride along the coastline, hacking through the surrounding countryside or travelling to competitions, Primrose Cottage offers a particularly appealing base for your lifestyle.

Churchill Country Comment

Primrose Cottage offers a wonderful opportunity for purchasers seeking to combine country living with the freedom of keeping horses at home.

The ability to hack directly to the beach in approximately 10 minutes is a particularly special feature and, when combined with six stables, useful outbuildings, approximately 2.95 acres and separate equestrian access, creates a compelling lifestyle proposition.

For those whose priority is the quality of their riding, particularly coastal hacking, this is a property that deserves serious consideration.
