Family home with outstanding equestrian facilities in idyllic West Sussex setting
Guildenhurst Stud is a beautifully renovated family home with exceptional equestrian facilities in an idyllic West Sussex setting.
The property is approached by a long drive, set in eight acres of picturesque countryside between Wisborough Green and Billingshurst.
The property, once part of the Guildenhurst Manor estate, has been immaculately renovated with luxurious interiors and comes with outstanding equestrian facilities including high specification stables, horse walker, canter track and manège.
The accommodation includes a generously proportioned entrance hall, a bright, double-aspect reception room with French doors opening onto the garden, character family room, ground floor shower room, study and stylish cloakroom. Forming the heart of the home is the stunning kitchen and dining area at the rear, with a vaulted ceiling, skylights, high specification appliances and a central island, as well as a large utility room.
Upstairs there is a principal bedroom with sweeping countryside views and a luxurious en suite bathroom, two further double bedrooms, and a light-filled family bathroom. A fourth bedroom on the ground floor, with en suite shower room and private garden access, links the main house to a self-contained annexe, including kitchen/sitting room, shower room and additional double bedroom.
The landscaped gardens feature pretty borders, a spacious entertaining terrace and a louvred pergola covering a hot tub.
The impressive equestrian facilities include five brick built stables in the primary stable wing with Monarch doors, Monarch swinging cross-tie bay, and a covered, floodlit Consort Plus 35’ horse walker with Krailburg 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, and a dedicated laundry room. Additional facilities include two Shetland stalls, a large drying/feeding room, and two further field shelters.
Completing the equestrian offering is a 60x20m sand and fibre manège with water irrigation and an all-weather canter track.
The property is in a semi-rural location between Wisborough Green, a charming village centred around a green where cricket is played during the summer months, and Billingshurst, which has a range of shops for everyday needs. More comprehensive shopping and amenities can be found in the larger centres of nearby Horsham, Guildford and Chichester.
Storrington, just four mile south, provides a good range of local shopping, including a supermarket, cafes, restaurants, pubs and a selection of shops, while Pulborough, five miles south, has two large supermarkets and a mainline station with regular service to London (journey time from 72 minutes) and access to Gatwick. There is also a good choice of schools within the area as well as sporting activities including several renowned golf courses, racing at Goodwood and polo at Cowdray Park.
Samantha Di Mond of Savills Petworth says: “Guildenhurst Stud is a truly special property; rarely do we see such a perfect blend of high-quality family living and exceptional equestrian facilities. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, creating a home that is both elegant and functional in an idyllic countryside setting.”
Guildenhurst Stud is being marketed by Savills for a guide price of £2,250,000.
