The Stables is a distinctive former stable/coach house set within the South Downs National Park, offering generous open-plan living and genuine renovation potential. The double-height sitting and dining room creates a light, characterful central space while two double bedrooms above suit a couple or downsizer seeking a quiet rural base.
Externally the plot is a major asset: a separate, private lawned garden with mature planting, a large detached double garage (approx 21'10" x 16'5") and off-street parking for two cars. The hamlet location is very peaceful, with Petworth about three miles away and good walking opportunities on the doorstep.
Buyers should be clear this property requires updating. The house is older (pre-1900) with solid brick walls likely without insulation and an EPC rating of F (32). Heating runs from an oil-fired boiler and there is shared private drainage; the roof and exterior show signs of wear and internal fittings are dated. These issues mean the house is best for someone prepared to renovate or improve energy performance.
In short, The Stables suits a buyer wanting country character, a large plot and workshop/garage space, who also accepts a renovation project and running costs associated with oil heating and an older building. Fast broadband and very low local crime add practical appeal for a rural retreat.
