Situation Switchback Barn occupies an outstanding S and peaceful position in the highly sought- after hamlet of East Marden, which nestles in the South Downs National Park and is surrounded by beautiful rolling West Sussex countryside. The hamlet sits within just nine miles of the beautiful city of Chichester, with its 12th century cathedral, and providing a comprehensive range of shops, restaurants, markets and facilities arranged around a pedestrianised centre. Cultural activities include the nationally-renowned Festival Theatre, the Pallant House Gallery and the annual festivities centred around the cathedral. Transport links are extremely good, with T mainline stations located at Rowland’s Castle and Petersfield providing a regular service into London Waterloo. Road links are also excellent with the A3 at Petersfield providing extremely easy access into London as well as the national motorway network and the international airports of Gatwick, Heathrow and Southampton. Journey times on the A3 into London have been greatly improved since the opening of the Hindhead Tunnel in 2011. Sporting facilities are superb, with racing H at the renowned Glorious Goodwood race course, which provides excellent flat racing throughout the season, and a great venue for motor enthusiasts with the world famous Festival of Speed and Revival meetings. There is also polo at Cowdray Park and sailing at Chichester Harbour. One of the other key benefits of this wonderful location is the extensive array of footpaths and bridleways that the immediate countryside has to offer. Switchback Barn Switchback Barn is a striking barn conversion which sits in a magnificent position with stunning views of the South Downs. The property has been sympathetically and skilfully renovated by our clients, to an extremely high standard, in order to form the beautifully presented and contemporary barn we see today. The property has an impressive blend of period and contemporary style, enhanced by flint and red brick elevations, combined with magnificent large windows and doors which sit under a slate roof. Internally, the barn offers light and airy accommodation with good ceiling heights throughout. Possibly the most notable area within the property is the impressive sitting/ dining/open-plan kitchen which provides a magnificent space for entertaining. Within this area, there is a set of bi-folding glass doors which open onto a Juliet balcony and allow one to take in the stunning views of the South Downs. Whilst substantial in size, the beautifully finished bespoke kitchen and the vaulted timber ceiling create a cosy country feel. On the ground floor, there are three double bedrooms, a family bathroom, en suite shower room, utility room, sitting room and a garden room. The ceiling heights throughout the barn are extremely good and, together with the large windows, they allow an abundance of natural light to flood in throughout the day. Switchback Barn offers the incoming purchaser an exciting opportunity to acquire a beautifully appointed barn conversion in a unique and stunning location. The setting at Switchback Barn is arguably its biggest asset; tucked away in a quiet location with many miles of wonderful countryside on the doorstep, whilst benefitting from superb transport links back into London. The Annexe The Annexe The annexe at Switchback Barn is a superb feature of the property. Constructed of flint and red brick, the annexe comprises a large reception room as well as a bedroom, kitchen and shower room.

The annexe also has its own vehicular access with parking to the eastern side of the property. Outside Switchback Barn is approached via a sweeping gravel driveway which leads down to the garage at the side of the property. The beautifully maintained gardens, which are kept to a very high standard, are principally laid to lawn, edged and interspersed with some mature shrubs and trees.
