Summary - Rock Rose, Clayton Hill, Pyecombe BN45 7FF
3 bed 2 bath Equestrian Facility
3-bed cottage with stables, South Downs Way access and planning consent.
Approx. 4 acres paddock and mature woodland (TBV)
Set within the South Downs National Park, this three-bedroom country cottage sits in substantial grounds of around 4 acres (TBV) with direct private access onto the South Downs Way. The house combines period character — exposed beams, brick fireplaces and woodburning stoves — with a recent extension creating three reception rooms and an ensuite principal bedroom with far-reaching rural views. Mature woodland boundaries and paddocks provide privacy and immediate access to bridleways and countryside riding.
The site is equipped for equestrian use: newly built timber stables, tack room, barns for hay and machinery, field shelters and multiple outbuildings. Planning permission (June 2024) exists for a 6m x 12m timber chalet for use as a gym, office or hobby building, increasing the property’s practical space and income or leisure potential. Parking is private and off-street, and there is a powered log-cabin home office already in place.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the property is leasehold (999-year lease from 1903; c.877 years remaining) reported as a virtual freehold, heated by an oil-fired boiler with a private septic tank, and has slow broadband speeds despite excellent mobile signal. Walls include timber-frame elements described as having no insulation (assumed) and the EPC rating is E. Council tax is in a high band and the local crime rate is recorded as above average.
This home will suit equestrian families or countryside buyers seeking immediate access to riding and walking networks, and those willing to carry out selective updating to improve energy efficiency and modern connectivity. The heads-up on broadband, heating and construction will help you plan any improvements to match your lifestyle or rental ambitions.
