West Marden Farm, West Marden, Chichester, West Sussex
West Marden Farm, located within the stunning South Downs National Park, encompasses 1000 acres of arable land, grassland, and woodland. Owned by the same family since 1947, the farm has undergone significant changes over the decades. Originally supporting dairy, sheep, and pig farming with ten full-time staff, the farm now focuses on growing combinable crops, including winter wheat, winter oilseed rape, and spring barley, with just one full-time staff member overseeing operations.
In addition to its farming activities, West Marden Farm offers three self-catering properties for hire, each providing access to a superb heated outdoor swimming pool, available from mid-June to mid-September, Monday to Saturday, from 8 am to 3 pm. These properties combine rural charm with modern comfort, making them an ideal retreat for those seeking a peaceful countryside getaway.
