The Thoroughbred

On the edge of the South Downs National Park, this former stable turned luxury country bolthole put walking and cycling trails on your doorstep. Civilisation (of the quaint and quiet variety) is a stone’s throw away too with the village of Bosham a fifteen-minute walk. Here you’ll find a train station, grocery shops, country pubs and cosy coffee shops. After a day in the hills and fells, a bubbling circular hot tub awaits beneath stringed lights in the back garden. In the summer months, light the charcoal grill and enjoy an outdoor feast on the deck. In the cooler months, it’s time to get the wood-burner going in the lounge, crack out the board games and gather for a meal at the rustic, country-style dining table. Plush leather sofas provide a spot to put your feet up and bedrooms make the most of the tranquil location, overlooking the estate’s hay meadow for a peaceful night’s sleep.
