    Property is absolutely amazing - clean, stunning views of fields and cows, peaceful and the owners were so sweet. Little touches made it extra special - monoculars and a stargazing book for viewing the stars and a lovely little basket of treats...

Susan
The panoramic views of the South Downs landscape, wildlife and sky from this property are breathtaking and amazing. An ideal location for those interested in walking, stargazing, photography, painting or just sitting, relaxing and admiring the view!
We are farmers. The Observatory adjoins one of our meadows where you can see our beef cattle grazing or the grass crop growing for winter feed.
The village of Houghton is situated in a central gateway of the South Downs National Park with easy access by car, train or walking the South Downs Way. Locally, The George and Dragon pub, the Riverside Tea Gardens and the Amberley Chalk Pit Museum are all within walking distance. Arundel and Goodwood are short drives away.
