About this property
Historic remodelled stable barn near nature conservation
This ground floor apartment has sweeping views of our fields, brook and pond from the windows of the kitchen/diner. Watch the horses graze while you eat your breakfast. The doors open to a private fenced patio with a gate opening to the garden. There's walking for your dogs from the farm to take you to the quintessential village of Thakeham with its pub and old church through ancient woodland. From there there is access to the South Downs National Park. The South Coast is 15 minutes drive and the Railway Station with access to London is 10 minutes away.
Fully heated and insulated for cosy winter stays too. All behind secure electric gates for privacy and security.

About the host
Hosted by Alison Hall
I live in the farmhouse next to the Old Stables. I was born and brought up in the district and although have travelled extensively now retired to live back home. My youngest daughter lives locally, has started her own veterinary practice and rides the horses that live on the farm.
So if you need anything, I am just to hand with my two Bedlington Terrier dogs in attendance.

Why they chose this property
If you love the countryside and nature conservation as well as historic buildings, this has it all. But you do not have to compromise on comfort as the renovation has been done to modern building standards. There is plenty of hot water, comfortable beds, squishy sofas and good internet connection.
What makes this property unique
Knepp Rewilding is now nationally and internationally famous for turning thousands of acres of intensively farmed land into a haven for wildlife. You can book safaris from their website so you get a personal guide to the research and development. You can walk there in half an hour. Also the RSPB has a site in Pulborough on the wetlands at the Wild Brooks.
The South Downs Way has been walked upon by our ancestors for as far back as we can discover. Bronze Age barrows, Iron Age hill forts and the beacons at Ditchling are evocative of the past. To be enjoyed on foot, horseback or cycle.
Come back to the cottage and you can sit in the shade of the huge Alder tree by the brook and pond, so cool in the now hot weather of our new summer climate. There is a gas barbecue for eating out in the garden.
