With its rare blend of period charm, substantial grounds, and modern practicality, ‘The Byre’ presents a unique opportunity to acquire a truly special country home in one of Sussex’s most desirable villages. All of this, with the added benefit of no listed building restrictions.

Nestled in the heart of the sought-after Sussex village of Bolney, ‘The Byre’ is a remarkable and characterful home, believed to date back to the 1500s. Originally a working barn, the property has been thoughtfully converted and extended over time to create over 2,800 sq ft of beautifully versatile living space, while retaining a wealth of original features that reflect its rich heritage. Despite its age and historic charm, the property is not Grade I or Grade II listed, offering the future owner greater flexibility for any further alterations, enhancements or development.

Set within approximately 2.5 acres of mature gardens, paddocks and open countryside, the grounds include a substantial barn, stabling, and a covered store—ideal for equestrian use or those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle. The west-facing garden also boasts a large decked terrace, perfectly positioned for enjoying summer evenings and outdoor dining with uninterrupted views across the surrounding landscape.

Internally, the property exudes warmth and character throughout, with exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and rustic finishes giving a sense of authenticity and period charm. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers great flexibility, appealing to a variety of living arrangements including multi-generational families or those in need of an independent annexe or working-from-home solution.

The ground floor comprises a spacious sitting room with feature fireplace, a welcoming kitchen/breakfast room, formal dining area, and a cinema room/family room offering further space to relax and unwind. Additionally, there is a dedicated home office complete with a kitchenette, ideal for remote working or use as a self-contained studio.

The property offers six well-proportioned bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms, two of which are en suite. Each bedroom benefits from its own unique character, with far-reaching views over the gardens and fields beyond.

There is an excellent range of educational facilities locally both in the private and state sectors, including Bolney village school, Great Walstead, Handcross Park, Hurstpierpoint College, Ardingly College and Warden Park Academy and for those who love village life, there is The Eight Bells, The Stage, Bolney Wine Estate and The Cider Tap just a short walk from the house.
