Superbly presented, modernised family home with equestrian facilities with potential to remodel to include an indoor school. Leith House offers immediate access to the South Downs.

Approached via electric gates and a sweeping gravel drive, Leith House was built, we believe, post WW2 and has been extensively refurbished to an extremely high standard by the current owners. The property offers far reaching downland views and boasts extensive equestrian facilities set in circa 22 acres of land, along with the ability to hack out directly from the property onto adjoining bridleways. The main house comprises reception hall leading to the beautifully fitted Neptune kitchen/breakfast room with bespoke solid wood cabinets, built in appliances, central island and a Rangemaster stove.

The utility/boot room also has a range of fitted cupboards and Miele appliances, with access to the garden. The sitting room is well proportioned with a log burning stove and an adjoining games room. To the first floor is a master bedroom with en suite shower room and dressing room/study, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. On the second floor there are two double bedrooms both with en suite shower rooms. Leith House benefits from attached self-contained accommodation, currently being used as grooms accommodation which comprises a living room with kitchenette, shower room and a paddle staircase leading to a room above.

Equestrian Facilities and Land:
Leith House has truly exceptional equestrian facilities including the main yard with 9 stables and a tack room. There is an attached store and generous sized barn. The timber framed drying room has a log burning stove, comfortable seating area and shower room.

A further stable block with 7 stables and garden stores provide extra storage space and is in need of restoration/conversion. The land is mainly laid to grass divided into a number of
paddocks, along with a ménage and horse walker and the grounds amount to approximately 22 acres in total.

The current owners have put in a pre-planning application with South Downs National Park SDNP/21/03534/PRE. Demolition and resiting of an existing residential dwelling, demolition of an existing redundant stable block, erection of a replacement dwelling, covered manège and a wider landscape enhancement. Current status- pre-planning advice confirmed. This has created the opportunity for a potential purchaser to remodel the current house and facilities to create an exciting equestrian property with a rare indoor school subject to full planning. More information on this is available from the agents.

Leith House is situated on the outskirts of the picturesque village of South Harting in the heart of the South Downs National Park. The house offers spectacular views and is within one mile of the village and its amenities, including the White Horse public house and village shop. Nearby Petersfield offers a variety of facilities and a bustling town centre. Shops include Waitrose and M&S Food Hall as well as numerous boutiques, cafes and restaurants The station provides a service to London Waterloo, journey times from around 64 minutes and also a service south to Portsmouth Harbour.

The Roman city of Chichester, approximately 11 miles to the south east, offers a broad range of cultural, leisure and shopping facilities, including the historic cathedral, renowned Festival Theatre and Goodwood, with golf, horse racing, as well as the Festival of Speed and Revival motor racing events. Sailing is extremely popular from the many villages surrounding Chichester Harbour. Many miles of paths in the South Downs and along the coast make the area ideal for walking, riding and cycling. Polo at Cowdray Park at Midhurst, the home of British polo, is within 9 miles.
