Light airy studio conversion

Situated on 10 acres of private farm, this first floor loft is the perfect rural hideaway. The building is a 500 year old stone barn, newly converted to a bright airy modern interior studio. Just next door is the farmhouse where the owner lives and is on hand with directions and information.
There are steps up to the front door, this is a bright open plan space for up to two people. This new quality conversion provides a king sized double bed, TV and DVD player, sofa, dining area and a full kitchen with hob, oven, fridge and microwave. The shower room is enclosed with heated towel rail, corner shower, loo and basin. The Hayloft is fully heated in winter and ventilated with two double windows in summer.
Outside there is a beautiful garden of 3 acres with a table, chairs and barbecue.
All linen and towels are provided as well as tea and coffee.
Please note that the steps up to the Hayloft are steep and in the winter can be slippery even though there are double handrails to help with safety.
The local pub is a 35 minute walk on the footpath and welcomes dogs in the garden. The South Downs are close by and provide the walker with miles of uninterrupted views right to the sea. Petworth House, a National Trust property with many beautiful works of art, is 30 minutes to the west. Parham House, an Elizabethan house near the South Downs is 15 minutes to the south. The nearest beach is just 10 miles away. London can be accessed by Billingshurst station just 5 miles away. The journey is just 1 hour into Victoria Station.
We welcome one well behaved dog to share your visit.

The Hayloft
The hayloft was perfect for two. Clean and comfortable. Lovely peaceful surroundings yet close to places we wanted to visit. Alison was very welcoming. We would recommend it and will be staying here again.

Nice property and friendly owner but perhaps a little attention to decor and kitchen utensils would be a good idea. (ie picture hook with no picture, masking tape on beam etc)

A great base to explore Knepp and the South Downs
The property (studio Apartment) felt larger and more comfortable than I had expected. We had everything we needed, and felt welcome and relaxed. Alison was a great host, accommodating my folk music playing spouse's practicing, and giving us information about visiting Knepp at dawn. When the unseasonably warm weather got hotter she brought us a fan and when we were going to an outdoor theatre production, generously loaned us banana lounges. The main purpose of our travelling to this area was to visit Knepp, but the whole week was really enjoyable, in large part because we were staying at Laybrook Farm. A highly recommended base for exploring this area.
