Houghton, Arundel, West Sussex BN18

Characterful Grade II Listed Barn Conversion in a Tranquil South Downs Setting.

Tucked away in the picturesque village of Houghton, within the stunning South Downs National Park, this beautifully converted Grade II listed barn offers a rare opportunity to own a slice of English countryside heritage with all the comfort and charm of a thoughtfully designed modern home.

One of a small and exclusive collection of period conversions, this impressive three-bedroom, two-bathroom property forms part of a former farmstead, sympathetically restored to preserve its historical character while offering high-quality contemporary living. Surrounded by rolling countryside, The Cart Shed enjoys a peaceful and private setting, just a short drive from Arundel and the south coast.

Inside, the home showcases an inviting blend of traditional features and modern finishes. The sitting/dining room is a warm, atmospheric space with exposed timber beams, vaulted ceilings, and large windows that frame views of the garden and flood the room with natural light. This open-plan space is perfect for entertaining, with ample room for both relaxed living and formal dining.

The kitchen is well-appointed and thoughtfully laid out, with quality cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a layout that blends seamlessly with the rest of the home’s style. It offers both practicality and elegance, ideal for everyday use or hosting.

There are three generously sized bedrooms, each with their own charm. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and garden views, while the remaining two bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom featuring a high standard of finish and period-appropriate detailing.

Outside, the property continues to impress with a private garden and patio area—a peaceful haven for outdoor dining, gardening, or simply soaking in the tranquillity of the surroundings. The home also includes a private driveway with ample parking.

Set within the desirable rural village of Houghton, this property offers direct access to some of the region’s most scenic walking and cycling routes. Despite its rural feel, it's well connected to nearby towns including Arundel, Chichester, and Pulborough, with rail links to London and the South Coast within easy reach.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the size and potential of this property.
