Pigbush Lane, Loxwood, Billingshurst, West Sussex, RH14

An exceptional six-bedroom country residence of 5313 sq. ft. with a heated swimming pool, outbuildings, annex and equestrian potential, set within idyllic grounds and between the villages of Alfold and Loxwood. In all 11.3 acres.


This exceptional country house was designed and constructed by the current owners in 2008, finished to an exacting standard and thoughtfully conceived to maximise both light and its beautiful rural setting.

Positioned just outside the highly regarded village of Loxwood, close to the South Downs National Park and conveniently located between Guildford and Horsham, the property offers an enviable balance of countryside living and accessibility.

A striking double-height glazed entrance hall creates an immediate sense of arrival, flooding the interior with natural light and framing views through to the gardens beyond. The ground floor has been designed with families living and entertaining in mind, with underfloor heating throughout and a seamless flow between the principal reception spaces.

At the heart of the home lies an impressive open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room, beautifully appointed with bespoke cabinetry, granite worktops and a comprehensive range of Miele appliances. Full-height glazing and bi-fold doors on either side draw the outside in, opening onto the terrace and swimming pool area, creating a superb space for year-round living and entertaining.

The reception hall itself is partly vaulted and particularly impressive, featuring limestone flooring and an open fireplace, setting a warm and elegant tone. To one side, the drawing and sitting rooms provide more formal yet equally inviting spaces, whilst the kitchen/family area forms the true hub of the home.

A centrally positioned solid wood staircase rises to the first floor, where a galleried landing enjoys elevated views across the grounds. All six bedrooms are generously proportioned and feature vaulted ceilings, enhancing the sense of space and character, with three benefiting from en-suite facilities. The principal suite is especially noteworthy, showcasing beautifully exposed beams and refined detailing, creating a luxurious and restful retreat.

The property is approached via a quiet country lane, with an electric five-bar wooden gate flanked by brick pillars opening onto a sweeping gravel driveway, which leads to a generous parking area and a detached triple garage. Planning permission was previously granted (now lapsed) for the addition of a stable block comprising three loose boxes and a tack room, offering excellent potential for those with equestrian interests.

The formal gardens are beautifully established, predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with well-stocked herbaceous borders and vibrant seasonal planting. To the rear, an expansive terrace provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining, overlooking the gardens and beyond.

A particular highlight is the heated outdoor swimming pool (not currentley opperational), complemented by a detached pool house.

A separate annex/ studio offering flexible accommodation, including an open-plan reception/bedroom space with kitchen area and shower room?ideal for guests or ancillary use.

Beyond the formal gardens, post and rail fencing defines the boundary with an adjoining paddock of approximately 8 acres, further enhancing the property's appeal for those seeking a lifestyle opportunity in a picturesque rural setting.
