Ivy House Farm

If you have wanted to move into a big house with acreage for horses, views and countryside on your doorstep but never thought it could be yours then think again.


With Gatwick and the historic beautiful town of Horsham, which has every shop you could ever need including John Lewis and Waitrose, on your doorstep plus quick and easy access to London, Brighton and the M23 & 25 The Hay Barn is perfect for your next move.

Lovingly restored by the current owners this modern and bright barn which is built for a family could be extended even more should you wish under permitted development rights. When you ask the owners why they moved here and what they love about the barn they will tell you; they moved from a lovely but small terrace house on the outskirts of London and have fallen in love with area, the views of the country from 3 sides of the house, and the blend of privacy and safety they have with just a few neighbours… so you can lock up and leave your house but can’t see your neighbours from inside. They will tell you…. “We love the openness of the kitchen living area and the feeling that you have of the outside being inside and the space it has to allowed us to entertain. We were going to put doors between the dining and sitting room but we love the room.” When asked about living close to Gatwick they talk about the benefits of being able to be there in 10 minutes and jump on a plane or a direct train to London, they don’t notice the planes and that is in part due to the high quality 20 ml thick acoustic doors and windows they have installed.

Next door the Grade II Listed is being beautifully restored and landscaped, as is the road leading to the small cluster of houses, which will only add value and kerb appeal to your new home. Plus if you want to be more self sufficient and protect your future you have the land to plant vegetables, keep chickens and install a ground source heat pump, and you have plenty of roof for solar panels.
Outside the southwest facing garden brings sunshine all day long with views of a beautiful sunset all through the summer months whilst still overlooking glorious greenery, woodlands and a pond. The remaining permitted development rights are enormous allowing for an additional 8 meters so the potential is endless with room to put in a pool and there is a gate onto your fields which you can use for animals…so ideal to place “ mobile stabling” for horses. That plus ramblers rights across the farm next door and a pond that invites wildlife who wouldn’t want to live here?
