 Sustainable Living, Naturally

Originally built as a traditional livestock fold, Upper Barn has been thoughtfully converted into an off-grid eco retreat while preserving much of its original character.

Designed to minimise its environmental impact without sacrificing comfort, the property features solar photovoltaic panels with battery storage, solar thermal hot water, a biomass pellet boiler for winter heating and an on-site wastewater system.

It's an ideal escape for those wishing to reconnect with nature and enjoy a more sustainable countryside holiday.

Walking, Cycling & Wildlife

With the South Downs Way right on your doorstep**, Upper Barn couldn't be better placed for discovering the spectacular West Sussex countryside.

The historic Monarch's Way also passes nearby, alongside a wonderful network of scenic footpaths and cycling routes.

Wildlife enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy, with kestrels, buzzards and red kites frequently seen soaring overhead.

Nearby nature reserves include RSPB Amberley Wildbrooks, Pulborough Brooks and the Arundel Wetland Centre, offering excellent opportunities for birdwatching and exploring the natural beauty of the Arun Valley.

And with pets welcome at Upper Barn, your four-legged companions can join in the adventure too!
