An atmospheric Grade II listed barn set just outside Tillington, offering nearly 2,654 sq ft of flexible family accommodation and wide South Downs views. The house centres on a vaulted, light-filled open-plan reception and dining space that leads directly onto a south-facing walled garden and raised patio — ideal for outdoor living and alfresco meals. The plot is generous (about 0.97 acres) and includes a paddock/orchard, two-bay car barn and parking for several cars.
Listed Building consent is already in place for replacement double glazed windows, internal adjustments, loft conversion and a small office in the paddock, so there is clear scope to enhance living space and value. The layout presently provides four bedrooms (principal suite with dressing room and ensuite), mezzanine family room/study and a large partially converted loft — useful for expansion subject to consent and finishing works.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the property is Grade II listed, which limits changes and may complicate future works; the home uses LPG-fired boiler with underfloor heating (not mains gas); broadband speeds are very slow; and there is a single shower room on the ground floor plus an ensuite to the principal bedroom, which may be tight for larger families. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall this is a character-rich country home best suited to buyers who value period character, privacy and space and are comfortable managing listed-building responsibilities and some modernisation.
For families or buyers seeking a countryside base with planning momentum, this barn offers immediate charm, long views and clear potential to tailor the accommodation to contemporary needs while staying within the South Downs National Park setting.
