The House at Hazelbrook Estate

Surrounded by 17 acres, with an infinity pool and sauna, The House ushers in a new era for the country house holiday. 

Its Edwardian structure, overlaid by Georgian style and state-of-the-art facilities, makes The House a creatively imagined country home. Set within the Hazelbrook Estate, it shares 17 acres of gardens and grounds, with the vast South Downs waiting beyond. 

Versatility is built into the fabric of Hazelbrook, with the option to book The House as a standalone property (ideal for up to 18 guests), or with The Cottage nearby (sleeping a further ten). For extended family breaks or group celebrations, you can also book The Estate in its entirety: giving exclusive use of both properties, all facilities, and The Barn. 

The House itself blends character, comfort, and contemporary luxury in a way that feels naturally welcoming. Soft neutral tones, statement art, and beautifully layered textures create a calm sophistication throughout. Spend slow mornings reading beside the fire, retire to the vast drawing room, or take a refreshing swim before dinner. 

The property’s six bedrooms sleep 12 adults, with space for up to six children in additional beds. These generous rooms look out on some of the estate’s finest views, while the topmost suite also encompasses a private terrace. Five offer en-suite bathrooms, while an extra family bathroom boasts a freestanding roll-top bathtub. 

Living spaces are styled for modern families, with an open-plan kitchen, comfy fireside sofas, and a sizeable dining table for laid-back suppers. Contemporary touches include a Sonos sound system, shared games room, and an indoor hot tub, sauna, and relaxation suite. With floor-to-ceiling windows, the 14-metre infinity pool offers indoor swimming with sweeping views of the main lawn. Although the pool complex is shared with other estate guests, exclusive use can be arranged for a small premium.

Outdoors, private facilities include a raised dining terrace, walled garden and folly, and fire pit for evening gatherings. But do venture into the wider estate for a wealth of other activities, from zip lining and lake fishing to croquet, tennis, football and cricket. When the season is ripe, guests are also encouraged to make the most of Hazelbrook’s homegrown harvest, foraging for apples, plums, blackberries and herbs. 

If you’d like a little extra space, The Cottage makes a picturesque bolt-on to your booking. This cosy, rose-clad home can sleep an extra five adults and five children, while also furnishing break-out spaces for your group. Traditional oak beams and roaring fires conjure rustic charm; just the thing for a quiet afternoon or movie night. Outside, a hot tub and fire pit add to the sense of natural retreat. 

Wonderfully family friendly, The House is a lovely location for groups and multigenerational stays. With so much to do here, it’s tempting to settle in and simply enjoy the estate – but when you’re ready to roam, the West Sussex countryside is just beyond the gate.
