The space Nestled in a tiny village deep within the rolling hills of the South Downs, The Farmhouse is the ultimate luxury retreat for family and friends, surrounded by its own private estate. This stunning, architecturally designed, single-storey home has been lovingly restored to ooze relaxed sophistication. Built around a sun-drenched central courtyard, the home features beautiful flint stone walls and full-height Crittall doors that flood the space with natural light. Inside, an open-plan design, high vaulted ceilings, and art-filled walls create a light yet homely ambience. The Farmhouse comfortably sleeps 12 guests across two buildings: • Main House: Three bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. • Adjacent Barn: Three bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. Each tranquil bedroom is swathed in luxurious finishes and sumptuous bedding for a blissful night's sleep. The impressive double-height kitchen, with its exposed beams and soft earthy tones, is ideally equipped for entertaining. It features: • Falcon range cooker • American-style fridge freezer • Large central island for social cooking The adjoining dining table ensures even the cook doesn't have to miss the party. For a more formal affair, a stunning separate dining room is just down the hall. The elegant drawing room is cleverly split into three seamless areas: cosy up with a book next to the log fire in the snug, sip cocktails in the reception room, or tuck yourself away in the quiet study. Outside, you'll find plenty of space for al fresco dining and entertaining. Enjoy the croquet lawn with its spectacular views across the Downs, or gather around the cosy fire pit to while away the evenings under the stars. 'An incredible weekend. I have been fortunate enough to get to being a sexagenarian and all the fun that goes along with it. Ele and Kate from Luxury Boltholes found me a place to reside in the beautiful settings of the South Downs where I could become not only an accomplished rally driver ( well I know the basics ) and fly in the most iconic of WWII planes, the Spitfire. I could not have asked for or envisaged a more perfect long weekend. Thank you again for finding the right place and for your hosts giving up their beautiful home.'
