Nutbourne Lane, Nutbourne, Pulborough, West Sussex RH20

Nutbourne Place Farm House is a 5,600 sqft barn and house set in its own grounds with a 'double' swimming pool and tennis court and is within the much sought after village of Nutbourne. There is a separate cottage of about 2,000 sqft which is ideal for relatives or staff. It has been used successfully for Airbnb rentals for a number of years. The house is 300m from a classic and popular country pub The Rising Sun, and a few minutes from the established Nutbourne Vineyard which has tours, event dinners and tastings. Pulborough Railway station with direct services to London Victoria and London Bridge is within a short drive. Gatwick Airport is 30-40 minutes drive.

The principal house is a beautifully considered marriage of a modern country farmhouse with a beautiful old barn. The farmhouse was constructed in 1972 and is now joined via an oak and glass link to an historic yet unlisted timber-framed West Sussex barn, which is believed to have Cromwellian origins.

The real highlight of the property is the stunning open vaulted barn which forms the main living space to the property, with a substantial kitchen to one end and a large vaulted sitting room with wood-burner to the other. The barn also features a mezzanine level, which would handily serve as further sitting room, but is currently used by our clients as a home office. Fully refurbished by our clients, this vaulted space is a real feature of the property and can easily host a 14 foot Christmas tree!

The remainder of the more modern farmhouse benefits from generous reception space to the ground floor and five bedroom suites to the upper floors.

The Cottage - A substantial property in its own right, the cottage benefits from three good sized bedrooms to the first floor together with generous reception space to the ground floor. The sitting room has bathroom adjoining, making for an excellent ground floor bedroom suite if required. The cottage also benefits from its own garden allowing it to be completely separate from the main property. An excellent space for visiting guests and family members, the cottage has been used by the current owners to generate additional income over the years through rental on Airbnb.

Outside, Nutbourne Place Farm House in entered via a five-bar gate leading to a parking area to the front of the house, opposite which is the car barn and biomass system. The remainder of the formal gardens around the house are mainly laid to lawn with established shrub borders, with the land rising to the swimming pools and tennis court.

Beyond the main house, the driveway continues to a yard, around which are the two agricultural barns and guest cottage.
