Brookside Stables is offered with consent for the demolition of the existing building and construction of a five-bedroom house, under Horsham District Council reference DC/24/1558. The proposed two-storey home is described as extending to approximately 2,639 sq ft (GIA), with four double bedrooms and one single. The principal bedroom is planned with a dressing room and en-suite, and a further ground-floor double bedroom is also shown with an en-suite. The other bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.
The proposed ground floor includes open-plan living space, a large kitchen and dining area, a separate dining room and a living room. The site includes around 14 acres of grazing land, two sand schools and ancillary farm buildings. Conversion of the buildings to stables or additional accommodation would be subject to the necessary planning consent. A further 19 acres of woodland is available separately; its purchase would provide direct access to the Downs Link bridleway.

62out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: LOW
The standout opportunity is the asking price: at £357/sq ft, it is about 24% below the local average, making this a comparatively cheap entry point for a substantial equestrian property. The 14 acres of grazing land, two sand schools and existing ancillary buildings give the site a distinctive setting and scope beyond the proposed five-bedroom home.
This is a development project rather than a ready-made house: planning consent is stated to have been granted for demolition and a new dwelling, and the photos show weathered existing buildings alongside proposed elevations and a visualisation, not completed residential interiors. The consent, its conditions and implementation requirements need checking; any conversion of ancillary buildings would also be subject to planning consent. The overall opportunity is promising, though renovation economics are not established in the available figures.
Key opportunities
- Develop the consented five-bedroom dwelling, with proposed elevations and a visualisation providing a starting point for the project.
- Make use of the substantial grazing land and two sand schools to shape an equestrian-focused property.
- Explore the potential for ancillary buildings to become stables or additional accommodation, subject to planning consent.
Key risks
- Delivering a new dwelling following demolition, alongside any work to weathered ancillary buildings, is a substantial budget and programme commitment rather than a cosmetic refresh.
