The Hayloft, Chidham

South Downs. Sleeps up to 2

The Hayloft is located on an equestrian smallholding adjacent to open countryside in the village of Chidham in the heart of the beautiful Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and on the edge of the spectacular South Downs National Park. The property occupies the entire upper floor of a detached brick-built barn which has been lovingly converted to a very high standard creating a little bit of luxury in the heart of the countryside. Character oak features and comfortable, quality furnishings make this a very cosy and relaxing place to be. The perfect spot to disconnect from the bustle of everyday life. From the private entrance door, stairs lead up to the apartment and into the well-equipped open plan kitchen with oak beams and modern integrated appliances including a dishwasher and washer/dryer. The dining area has an oak table and chairs for 4 guests and leads on to a welcoming, cosy lounge area with WiFi, a HD Smart TV featuring Freeview, Bluetooth connectivity and enabled for Netflix and Prime Video if you have your own account. The full height lounge windows allow you to relax on the sofa and take in the far-reaching rural views, perhaps read one of the books or play one of the games provided for guests. French doors lead from the lounge onto the west facing balcony with table and chairs, which provides the perfect place for al fresco meals and to take in the stunning, uninterrupted views over the horse paddocks and surrounding farmland to the sea in the distance. At the rear of the apartment is the cosy bedroom with super king bed which can also be adapted to twin beds on request. The mattress is superior quality to ensure a good night’s sleep beneath the crisp white linens. Here there is also plenty of drawer space, two bespoke built-in wardrobes and an oak dressing table and stool. Off the landing area is the shower room with complimentary eco-friendly toiletries provided for guests use. The apartment is fully central heated and a complimentary welcome pack is provided to get you started when you arrive. Thoughtful touches like USB charging points, hairdryer and luggage storage are all here to help make your stay as comfortable as possible. Guests enjoy secure, private parking directly alongside the barn behind electric entrance gates and there is also on-site CCTV for additional peace of mind. So, if you’re driving a classic car or just something special to you, you’ll be in safe hands here.
