West Chiltington Lane, Coneyhurst, RH14

Full description

A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional rural estate set in over 18 acres of south‑facing land, enjoying uninterrupted panoramic views towards the South Downs. Offering remarkable privacy, outstanding lifestyle potential and extensive outbuildings, this unique property combines modern design with timeless Sussex character.

The main house, architect‑designed and built in 2017, has been carefully crafted to echo the charm of a traditional oak‑framed barn, while providing an ultra‑modern, energy‑efficient interior. The entrance hall features impressive vaulted ceilings, leading to a flexible open‑plan first floor with sitting/dining area and a contemporary kitchen complete with built‑in appliances. Double doors open onto a balcony designed to take full advantage of the spectacular surrounding landscape.

The ground floor offers a spacious master bedroom with en‑suite and walk‑in wardrobe, along with two further double bedrooms, a luxury high‑specification family bathroom and a utility room.

Within the grounds sits a detached brick-built workshop, office and store building, providing excellent scope for residential conversion (STPP)—either as a stand‑alone unit or linked to the existing accommodation. In addition, a detached Sussex Barn benefits from full planning permission (commenced) for conversion into a striking three‑bedroom dwelling, creating superb potential for multi‑generational living, a holiday let, or additional residential space.

The land and setting lend themselves to a wide range of uses, including equestrian facilities, horticulture, viticulture, smallholding, glamping or agricultural ventures, all in a peaceful yet conveniently accessible rural location.

The property is ideally situated for both national and international travel. Billingshurst mainline station is just 7 minutes by car or an approximate 22‑minute walk, offering fast connections including a 38‑minute service to Gatwick Airport (South Terminal) and approximately 1 hour 10 minutes to London Victoria, making this an excellent choice for commuters and frequent travellers alike.

Whether drawn by the sweeping uninterrupted views, the privacy and tranquillity, or the wealth of opportunities it offers, this remarkable estate presents a one‑of‑a‑kind chance to secure a countryside home with outstanding scope and potential. Together, the existing house, Sussex Barn and ancillary buildings offer the possibility—subject to the necessary permissions—of forming a truly impressive country residence or unique rural ‘hamlet’.
