Stunning 6 bedroom converted barn nestled in Souths Downs, Sussex
Nestled within the South Downs National Park in West Sussex, this stunning 6-bedroom/ 3 living room/ 2 full kitchen, 5,000+ sq ft converted barn provides an idyllic countryside retreat. The three connected barn living areas exude a mix of character and luxury, with beautiful oak beamed vaulted ceilings and exposed brick throughout. Beyond its abundance of quirky bedrooms, the Barns have two fully equipped kitchens and eating areas, a pub-setting bar stool seating area, three separate spacious living and entertainment areas, a games room, five beautifully presented bathrooms and an outdoor hot tub.
Totalling around nine acres of land, The Barns’ grounds offer a variety of outdoor seating areas within two distinct garden areas, including a beautifully landscaped floodlit Tuscan-style walled garden and separate outdoor lounge area with a hot tub overlooking the woodland and paddock.
The layout of the three Barns is in an L-shape around the walled garden. The Big Barn and Snug Barn are connected by a beautiful archway door with steps. The layout makes an ideal set-up for larger families or groups of friends staying together, providing a balance of shared and private space. Guests can choose to create more privacy between the Barns, all of which can be accessed through their own front doors, or the Big Barn and Snug Barn can remain one connected area. The Annex Barn is connected via an overhead covered outdoor archway a few steps away from the Snug Barn.
While hidden away in the countryside, The Barns is conveniently located just a mile outside of the village of Storrington, which offers a range of convenient amenities including a variety of pubs and eateries, bakers, butchers, and a local Waitrose that offers a delivery service.
The rural location is a hiker’s delight with numerous walking destinations close to the South Downs Way, as well as being close to some of Sussex’s prettiest beaches and a number of historic sites. Horse riding, cycling, sailing options are available close by.
To note: we are not able to accommodate events or weddings.
Amberley is approximately 3 miles away; Horsham 16 miles; London Victoria/ London Bridge approx. 50 mins by train; Brighton 19 miles; Gatwick airport 57 miles.

We do kindly ask that guests are mindful of noise levels at night. While the property is quite rural and very private, there are some neighbouring cottages and noise tends to travel exponentially in the stillness of the country air. We do ask that there is no outdoor music playing after 11 PM and guests are conscious of volume levels after that time outside.
It is guests' responsibility to determine any restrictions in relation to COVID-19 in accordance with government guidelines.
