Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This converted stable block makes for a relaxing countryside escape. With easy access to both the coast and the South Downs National Park - as well as number of other attractions in between - it's a lovely spot to simply slow down and relax. The property really feels like a home away from home with big sofas, comfy armchairs and a wood-burning stove for cosy nights in. There's a well-equipped kitchen for rustling up tasty meals but with plenty of restaurants and pubs on your doorstep, you may well choose to dine out instead.
