Rural South Downs property boasting farmhouse, stables, swimming pool, and a skateboarding stunt facility housed within the barn
In the picturesque South Downs National Park, Leith House—a traditional Sussex farmhouse-style property built after the Second World War—is currently up for sale. The property, last built by Sir Richard Leith before its sale, boasts extensive equestrian facilities and direct access to the bridleways of the national park.
Leith House, with approximately 3,700 square feet of bright and cheerful accommodation spread across three floors, offers a fitted Neptune kitchen/breakfast room, spacious living areas, a pleasant sitting room with an adjoining games room, five bedrooms, and five bath/shower rooms. An attached self-contained annexe is currently used as groom's accommodation.
One of the barns on the property has been transformed into a skateboard stunt park, adding a unique twist to the equestrian-focused property. The proposed changes also include the demolition of the existing stable block and the construction of a covered manege, aiming to create a model equestrian operation at Leith House.
The owners of Leith House have submitted a pre-planning application to the South Downs National Park for these changes. If approved, the demolition and re-siting of the existing house, along with the erection of a replacement dwelling and a covered manege, would further enhance the equestrian facilities.
The pre-planning application is available from the selling agents, Strutt & Parker, who are also offering more information about the application. Further details and pictures of Leith House can be found on their website.
Leith House is set on 22 acres of post-and-railed paddocks, woodland, and grazing. Conveniently located near the village of South Harting, 4.5 miles from Petersfield, and 11.5 miles from Chichester, this property offers a tranquil yet accessible location for its new owners.
Leith House is up for sale with a guide price of £2.75m. For more information, visit the Strutt & Parker website or contact their team.
