Description
Hobbs Farmhouse presents a wonderful and rare opportunity to own a charming period Sussex farmstead that boasts a wealth of character and history. This Grade II listed family residence enjoys a picturesque semi-rural setting, set within the historic hamlet of Bilsham, which is mid-way between Yapton and the sea.
Thought to date back to the 17th century, with latter editions, Coast & Country by Henry Adams is delighted to be instructed to sell this remarkable home that offers a rare balance of period charm and comfortable living. The outbuildings and land offer considerable potential for a range of activities, extended accommodation and small business opportunities.
The cosy and welcoming accommodation is arranged over two floors, comprising five well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it an ideal home for families seeking space and flexibility. At the heart of the home is a kitchen adjoining the breakfast/dining room, which is flooded with natural light, while the further four reception rooms provide generous living and entertaining spaces. There are two open fireplaces, a large inglenook with bread oven and the other has an iron fireback with the Royal Cypher ‘CI 1633’, traditional chimneys, and original flagstone floors and exposed beams enhance the farmhouse’s historic charm.
Set within just over four acres of mature gardens and grounds, the property enjoys a sense of tranquillity and privacy. The walled garden to the rear offers a private and enchanting retreat, while the front gardens and driveway, featuring a pretty duck pond with an abundance of bird and duck life, offer a picturesque approach to the home. The land also includes a paddock enclosed by mature shrubs and borders, as well as additional paddocks ideal for grazing livestock.
A selection of outbuildings further enhances the appeal of Hobbs Farmhouse. These include the split-level ‘Duck House’ adjacent to the pond, which could become an office or family space. ‘The Coach House’ with planning existing planning permission for converting into a two-bedroom cottage which could provide accommodation for family or guests. A ‘Cow Shed’ currently serving as a small studio with water supply, and a large agricultural barn with continuous concrete floor, equipped with water and electricity — all offering exciting potential for a variety of uses.
Surrounded by the beauty of the West Sussex countryside yet conveniently located for access to nearby towns and transport links, Hobbs Farmhouse presents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic home with extensive grounds and great potential to further enhance.
More than just a home, Hobbs Farmhouse is a haven for family entertainment. Over the years, it has played host to numerous parties, even those hosted by Captain Henry Kerby who once lived at Hobbs Farmhouse and served as the Conservative MP for Arundel and Shoreham. It’s ideal for large gatherings, even wedding receptions, making it the perfect setting for creating lasting memories.
