Sowton Stables was converted in 2008, providing modern comforts such as double glazing and underfloor heating while still preserving the historic character of the original building. The reception hall has full length windows looking out over the courtyard approach and leads to an impressively proportioned sitting/dining room of over 23 ft in length. This has a dramatic partially vaulted ceiling with full height window and double doors opening onto the partially walled garden. Exposed beams and wood burning stove provide additional character. The kitchen is also vaulted and fitted with a good range of matching units together with polished stone worksurfaces and breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include dishwasher, fridge and freezer drawers and there is a range style cooker with ceramic hob, two fan assisted ovens and grill. A separate utility room keeps the white goods away from the main living areas. Two bedrooms are located on the ground floor served by a well-appointed shower room. The larger bedroom has double doors opening onto the courtyard style approach and could be used as an additional reception room or home office if desired.

On the first floor there are both principal and guest suites, each with their own bathroom.

Outside
The courtyard style entrance has a gravelled approach with parking area to the front of the barn and is decorated with neatly clipped box balls. A garage with light and power provide secure parking and storage. The very pretty garden has attractive old brick and flint walls to its north and eastern boundaries and a broad paved terrace is approached by way of sealed unit double glazed double doors from the vaulted sitting/dining room. This looks out over a neat area of lawn and a raised terrace looking west is designed to catch the evening sun. A raised border is stocked with easily maintained clipped box bushes and evergreen shrubs. The terrace has external powerpoints and water tap.

Location
The village of Singleton lies in the midst of the South Down National Park, surrounded by rich countryside criss-crossed with miles of bridlepaths and footpaths. This is an active village community with village primary school, parish church, cricket green and village pub. Goodwood with its many facilities lies within two miles including its internationally known race course, members' club, hotel, motor circuit and private airfield. Other nearby local attractions include the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum and West Dean College, formerly the home of the poet and patron of arts Edward James. This is now home to the college of arts and conservation with its famous restored gardens. Chichester, some 6 miles to the south, provides a comprehensive range of shopping facilities arranged partly within its pedestrianised centre and there is a mainline station with a regular service to London Victoria in approx. 1 hour 45 minutes.
