About the property
Set within the rolling farmland of the South Downs and approached via a private track of approximatley 1.2 miles, Haye’s Barn occupies a particularly secluded position, set well back from the nearest road and enjoying a high degree of privacy together with uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside.
