Lordings Road, Billingshurst, West Sussex, RH14

A beautifully renovated house with exceptional equestrian facilities.

Description

Lovingly renovated and significantly enhanced by the current owners, Guildenhurst Stud combines beautifully designed family accommodation with exceptional equestrian facilities. Finished to an exacting standard throughout, this elegant property offers thoughtfully conceived living spaces, with a level of detail and quality that continues seamlessly from the main residence through to the stables and additional accommodation.

Set within eight acres of picturesque countryside and approached via a long drive, Guildenhurst Stud was once part of the historic Guildenhurst Manor estate. The house enjoys ample parking to the front and a welcoming, generously proportioned entrance hall, setting the tone for the rest of the home. Just off the hallway is a study with integrated cabinetry housing the property’s technical systems, alongside a stylish cloakroom.

The main reception room is a bright, double-aspect space with French doors opening onto the garden. Beyond the reception room is a well-appointed ground floor shower room and a cosy, character-filled family room. At the rear, the stunning kitchen and dining area with vaulted ceiling forms the heart of the home, fitted with ample cabinetry, a range cooker, high-spec appliances, and a central island ideal for informal gatherings. Skylights with remote-controlled blinds bathe the dining and seating areas in natural light, and a large utility room offers additional storage and laundry space.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom boasts sweeping countryside views, extensive fitted wardrobes, and a luxurious en suite bathroom with a statement Catchpole & Rye freestanding bath. Two further double bedrooms, each with bespoke storage and window seats, are served by a light-filled family bathroom with a generous skylight.

A fourth bedroom on the ground floor, with en suite shower room and private garden access, links the main house to a superb self-contained annexe. Ideal for guests, extended family, or staff, the annexe includes a fully equipped kitchen/sitting room, shower room, and additional double bedroom with built-in storage.

The landscaped gardens features pretty borders, a spacious entertaining terrace and a louvred pergola covering the hot tub, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation.

The equestrian facilities are among the finest in the area. Directly accessible from both the annexe and utility room, the primary stable wing includes five brick built stables with Monarch doors, Monarch swinging cross-tie bay, and a covered, floodlit Consort Plus 35’ horse walker with Kraiburg rubber flooring. Two large stallion pens sit alongside a substantial tractor shed. A further exceptional freestanding stable block houses three indoor Monarch stables beneath skylights with remote-controlled blinds, cross-tie bays (one with solarium), hot and cold running water, a fully equipped tack room with sink and dishwasher, and a dedicated laundry room for rugs and equipment. Additional facilities include two Shetland stalls, a large drying/feed room, and two further field shelters.

Completing this premier equestrian offering is a 60x20m sand and fibre menage with water irrigation and an all-weather canter track, making Guildenhurst Stud an outstanding residence for the discerning equestrian buyer seeking luxury, privacy, and exceptional functionality.
