KERVES BARN
An attractive barn conversion, offering well-presented accommodation which is mainly arranged on the ground floor. It provides plenty of reception space, with a vaulted dining room, which is open to the sitting room; the sitting room is dual aspect, with a fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove. It adjoins the garden room; the garden room and the sitting room both have French doors opening to the sheltered south-facing courtyard garden, creating a lovely spot to eat or entertain outdoors. There are two bedrooms and a shower room situated in the south wing of the ground floor; the kitchen/breakfast room lies in the north wing, served by a utility room, beyond which lies bedroom four, which is currently used as a study. The main bedroom is on the first floor and has a dressing area and an en suite bathroom. In addition to the pretty courtyard garden, Kerves Barn has an enclosed east-facing garden, which is mainly laid to lawn.
KERVES FARM COTTAGE
Formerly a farmworker's living quarters and garaging, this property was converted and extended to provide a separate dwelling in 2015. It is a charming cottage, with an oak framed porch, and it offers a kitchen/dining room, sitting room with a woodburning stove (which powers the hot water and central heating), conservatory/family room with a part-glazed roof, a utility/cloakroom, ground floor bedroom and en-suite bathroom; there are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. Solar panels also power the hot water. The cottage has a fully enclosed and landscaped garden lying to the east, with a summer house and access to a spacious timber framed workshop; both these outbuildings have power connected. There is access to the productive vegetable garden, which is enclosed by a gate and rabbit proof fencing, and to the chicken coop.
ANNEXE AND GARAGING/ POTENTIAL OFFICE SPACE (stpp)
The large detached outbuilding provides garaging, storage and ancillary accommodation comprising living room, bedroom, kitchen, shower room and separate WC, and has the benefit of its own section of garden. This space also has the potential to convert to dedicated office space (stpp).
EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES
The equestrian facilities have good access from the main driveway, which opens out to provide parking for several vehicles; immediately to the north of the parking area is a 40m x 20m all-weather riding arena, and to the east, a large detached outbuilding comprising secure barn and storage, garage, feed room, tack room, utility room/wc and a mezzanine store.
The driveway leads beyond this building to the stable yard, around which is a timber L- shaped stable block with seven stalls, one with access to a paddock. Opposite lies a two-bay timber framed carport with a further stable and an open log store attached, and beyond is a field shelter with access to a small yard and paddock, with a further mobile field shelter on hardstanding.
The driveway gives vehicular access to the remaining land, which is currently divided into several paddocks, enclosed by post and rail or post and wire fencing and with water connected throughout.
The land is bordered to the north by the river Arun and to the east by Kerves Brook (dry in summer) with some woodland at the boundary. In all, about 4.5 acres.
An additional 4 acres with gated tractor access from Kerves Lane, is available by separate negotiation.
