Summary - BUCKLEYS FORESTSIDE ROWLAND'S CASTLE PO9 6ED
4 bed 2 bath Country House
Substantial plot with annex and small‑holding potential in a peaceful South Downs setting.
• Grade II listed country house in South Downs National Park
• Approximately 3 acres: gardens, paddocks, stables and woodland
• Separate annex offering independent living and income potential
• Planning permission granted for double carport and storage
• Oil-fired central heating, LPG cooking, and septic tank on site
• Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — energy upgrades needed
• Very slow broadband and average mobile signal; rural utilities
• Listed status restricts alterations; specialist consent required
This Grade II listed country house sits within approximately three acres of gardens, paddocks and woodland in the South Downs National Park. The house retains period character throughout and offers a flexible layout with three reception rooms, two conservatories and four bedrooms. A separate annex provides independent accommodation and potential rental income or guest space.
The plot is a major asset for buyers seeking small-holding potential: fenced paddocks, stables and immediate access to bridleways. Planning permission has been granted to replace the existing garage with a double carport and storage area, and there is an option to purchase additional rear land by separate negotiation.
Buyers should note practical constraints alongside the charm. The property is Grade II listed, so alterations will be restricted and may require specialist consent. The house uses an oil-fired boiler, LPG for cooking, and a septic tank; walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation, so energy upgrades will be involved. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal is only average.
For families or buyers seeking a country lifestyle, this is a rare, substantial plot with versatile accommodation and clear income/expansion possibilities. The setting and size deliver long-term potential, but be prepared for listed-building considerations, ongoing maintenance and efficiency improvements.
