A rural farmhouse in the South Downs region, complete with equine facilities, a swimming pool, and a skateboarding extreme park housed within the barn.

In the picturesque village of South Harting, a charming property named Leith House is currently up for sale. This tidy, compact property, set on 22 acres of post-and-railed paddocks, woodland, and grazing, is being offered by Strutt & Parker with a guide price of £2.75m.

Leith House, built in the style of a traditional Sussex farmhouse after the Second World War, has been modernized by its current owners and offers some 3,700sq ft of bright and cheerful accommodation on three floors. The accommodation includes 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.

The property boasts extensive equestrian facilities with direct access to the bridleways of the South Downs National Park. One of the barns on the property has been converted into a skateboard stunt park, adding a unique twist to the equestrian focus.

However, the proposed changes to Leith House are not yet approved by the South Downs National Park. The owners have submitted a pre-planning application for the demolition and re-siting of the existing house, demolition of the redundant stable block, and the erection of a replacement dwelling and covered manege. If successful, these changes would create a model equestrian operation at Leith House.

More details regarding the proposed changes can be found from the selling agents, Strutt & Parker. Further information, including additional pictures, can be found on their website.

The identity of the owner of Leith House in the South Downs National Park is not publicly disclosed in the available search results.

For those interested in the pre-planning application or the sale of Leith House, more information is available from Strutt & Parker. The selling agents have more details available regarding the application and the property.
