Situated a short distance from the village of Ringmer, on the edge of the South Downs National Park, is this attractive barn conversion with far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. The house is a traditional timber-sided 'Sussex style' barn, believed to have been built in the 18th century and converted to a dwelling in 1992. The house has been converted to an exceptional
standard and retains a huge amount of character, most notably the spectacular double-height sitting room with its exposed beams, vaulted ceiling and woodburning stove a wonderfully atmospheric space for entertaining. The house has been presented to a very high standard to suit the grandeur and character of the home, utilising heritage colour paints from Farrow & Ball,
traditionally styled Jotul wood-burning stoves, fabulous engineered oak wood and flagstone floors and a wellappointed kitchen. The wow-factor home has also been subject to a number of updates in recent years.
The house has very generous proportions, affording more than 3279 sq ft over two floors and with the high ceilings, airy rooms and large windows expected for this type of property. The feeling of light and space pervades throughout, with the aforementioned sitting room a particular highlight. On the ground floor, a welcoming reception hall leads to the sitting room, dining room and kitchen at the front of the house, while in the separate single-storey wing to the rear there is a study, a principal bedroom with dressing area and en suite bath/shower room, a further bedroom and a shower room.
The remainder of the bedrooms are accessed by two separate staircases: one double bedroom on
its own with a bathroom, and two double bedrooms situated together and sharing a shower room, ideal for older children. In addition the house benefits from a detached two-bedroom, two-bathroom annexe called The Milking Parlour, which currently serves as a successful income generator as a holiday rental. The annexe is also presented to a high standard and has an open-plan living area, opening to its own private terrace. The annexe would be ideal to continue as a holiday rental or would be suitable as a 'granny annexe' for multigenerational living.
The Prime team would be delighted to show you around this property.
Outside
The house is attractively situated within grounds of about an acre, which are beautifully landscaped and adjoin open countryside to the rear, over which there are lovely views towards the South Downs. Leading up to the house and the separate annexe is a large gravel driveway, which provides ample parking space for several vehicles and access to the garage, which is attached to the annexe. The gardens of the main house are lawned and mostly level, featuring box hedges, well-stocked borders and a number of young trees. There is a patio terrace and a raised decking
area, both well-suited for entertaining, and swim spa (available by separate negotiation). The annexe has its own private patio and faces towards a private paddock, making it feel wonderfully secluded.
pSituation
Little Norlington Barn is situated in a semi-rural setting about 1.3 miles northeast of the village
of Ringmer, on the cusp of the South Downs National Park where there are miles of footpaths
and bridleways to explore. Ringmer is well served by a wide variety of amenities including pubs,
cafés, primary and nursery school, a number of convenience shops and takeaways, a GP surgery
and a village green. For a wider choice of services, Lewes is the county town of East Sussex, a bustling market town steeped in history and culture. Its atmospheric medieval streets, tiny twittens and old churches abound with character, and Lewes Castle dates from Norman times. Glyndebourne Opera House is about 2.6 miles away, while the city of Brighton and Hove is 13.5 miles distant, for the coast and a wide range of attractions. Local schools include St. Aubyns, Roedean and Lancing, Ardingly and Hurstpierpoint Colleges.
